This story is a nice take on the zombie genre and I enjoyed it with only a few points that did not sit well with me.*******(Spoilers in the next two paragraphs)*******The plot itself is a good one. A man is tipped off by an old friend of the impending zombie apocalypse and has the sense to prepare for the eventual happening.  I like survival tales where the hero has prepared for an apocalypse, but this one took it overboard. The time frame in which he collects all the supplies he will need is a little unbelievable and some of the changes he makes to his home are just too easily accomplished, I have never seen a contractor move that fast.  The character of Dr. Miller comes off as arrogant and cocky, but this is common in many surgeons so it was believable. The supporting characters are very weak and just fall over themselves worshipping his greatness once they find out he was right about the apocalypse.The book does have a very satisfying ending that lives up to the title, but it leaves me to wonder if all the supposed books in this series will be written in the same manner. It is billed as, "The opening salvo in this blockbuster new series", but knowing how the story turns out, will keep me from reading any other books, unless they are set after the final events of this book.*******(End of Spoilers)*******The book moves along at a good pace the action is well written, and not overly gory. I guess I should not complain since the cost was only .99 cents, and it was well written with very few editing issues. I will be keeping an eye out for the second book, to see the direction the author takes.
