Exceedingly well-written dark, dystopian thriller/zombie horror hybrid where zombies are the "end of times" locusts sent to destroy ungodly humanity. The author cleverly draws you in to personally identify with a maturing couple vacationing in the Bahamas. They each have a dual purpose: the husband to protect their assets from the new government "taggings" regulations while the wife receives rejuvenating treatments.The happy couple find "her" youthfulness rapidly restored: face lifted, hair growing full and fingernails growing long and strong. After a playful roll in the hay, our next look finds them prematurely returning home, with the smell of death and rotting flesh permeating from the formerly lovely lady who is our first zombie in the making, an introduction to this author's unique blend of the "end of times" leonine locusts who are rampaging in packs of hundreds all set to assuage their pain by drinking the blood of humans.From this clever introduction, we move full force into a horrifying thriller that never lets up. Highly recommended to all who love well-written, high key, fast action, unique, fiction, drawn from biblical inspiration and an imagination gone wild.
