"Air" is short sci-fi work by author William Esmont. This is a Kindle e-book that is a 117 Kb download and was free from Amazon.com at the time of writing this review.SPOILERS throughoutFor reasons that no one is completely sure, a few people have been turning into zombies. Initially confined to a small areas, the continual bites and wounds by these undead, turn into a problem of pandemic implications.This particular story follows Chris and his brother Dave, who has been taken to the local hospital after a motorcycle accident. When Chris, who is unaware at this point of the impending danger, arrives to see his brother, the OPD is in chaos...but not for the usual reasons.This tale is one of escape and survival from the hospital. It reminds me so much of the excellent TV series 'The Walking Dead' on the AMC channel.Author Esmont has written this tale with skill...walking that fine line of a providing the reader with a scary atmosphere filled with terror and a sense of foreboding. You just never know what awaits our protagonist when they are about to round the next corner.Conclusion:Tense, scary and all with a superb sense of timing and pace.I loved every word of this Zombie novel. I will actively seek out more of this author's work.As it is...5 Stars.Ray Nicholson
