I downloaded this when it was free. I thought it was a full length novel, but it was a short story. Not at all bad. Obviously it is something that can be expanded.The story essentially takes the form of an interview between a member of the media, and the protagonist, Paul McQueen, who was the last survivor of a zombie apocalypse in Bangkok, Thailand. It tells of how he witnessed the zombie attack start during a festival, its rapid wildfire spread and of how he survived. Most of all, it tells the truth behind the media's hero status story which the Thai government had been spreading about him. The truth being less heroic.I liked the story,  it has potential. I can see it going somewhere as a full novel. I liked how the scenes were well described, as actual places in Bangkok.What I didn't like though was this, the last paragraph of the book. It kind of spoiled it:"Have you enjoyed this story? Want to read more? Why not post a review for the chance to receive a free copy of future novels? Ten Amazon reviewers will receive complimentary copies of the forthcoming full length zombie novel from Keith Taylor."It makes me wonder about the honesty of the other reviews. I personally like to review books, and don't need an incentive to do so. Giving people an incentive to win something often leads to less than honest reviews.Overall, I think if you liked the 28 days later and 28 weeks later movies or are a fan of zombie books, you should like this story.
