Let's start with my biggest pet peeve with this book, it is a serial novella.  The author has failed to inform us of this simple fact.  Bad, bad, bad, no cookie for you.This story was 60 pages and there was no ending.  In fact, it ends in a cliffhanger.  Part 2 of the serial is also out.  The price has doubled, and the reviewers explain there was still no ending.  It took 6 months for the author to publish.  A serial novel should not take 6 months to publish, and each section should have a definitive ending.  Bad, bad, bad, no cookie for you.What if the author stops the serial novel due to lack of interest?  Not such a big deal if each section has an ending, but if there is no ending, you have invested time and money for nothing.While this book was not horrible, it did not inspire me to invest more time or money.  There wasn't enough of a story to learn about the characters.  Nothing new or interesting was brought to the table.Some mention was made of their world.  And it was confusing.  They have the tech to machine and surgically implant people with titanium parts.  Then they use people to pull carts and salt as money.  (Salt as money indicates a lack of refrigeration.)Also with all the prospecting, I found it unlikely that no zombies have previously been seen.I am returning this book due to all of the above reasons.
