I think if you're a fan of disaster, survival, end-of-the-world, etc. stories, you'll really enjoy AFTER. Yes, it's the first in a series and ends in a cliffhanger, but I knew that in advance so I wasn't disappointed when I reached the last page.In this installment we follow two main groups of characters who come from all walks of life and are thrown together because of the circumstances. Their opposition comes from Zapheads and other, more human, survivors.What's a Zaphead? On the surface they're people who didn't drop instantly dead from a devastating solar flare, but other than that, the jury is still out. One thing I do know? These aren't your Mama's zombies, there's more to them than that. I believe I'll stay tuned and have a better idea as the story unfolds.The characters are believable, the dialogue's snappy, and the setting is rich. I'll definitely be on the lookout for the next in the series.
