Review: They End Too Soon
Rating: 4 out of 5

James and Fuchs have envisioned an engrossing post-apocalyptic world. In it we have Fortress Britain that is relatively intact with 50 million survivors. We are led to believe that everywhere else has been overrun and only small bands remain. In this third outing they stay focused on the action. That is not to say the plot, characters, and dialogue are not engaging - it is just a treat to have some pace. It was interesting to hear two characters making fun of the television show The Walking Dead (with overtly naming it). I appreciated that jab only because I find the show a talky soap opera (the character's angst ridden faces and debates are boringly repetitious). The authors introduce new characters with one being a Canadian that makes it fun for this Canuck and also it hints at new zombie behaviour that I will not reveal here. My only complaint with the books are they end too soon.
