Review: Griffin returns in "King"!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 21, 2014
3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4, because that's how rounding works."King" is the fourth part of a series of weird west stories by authors Dixon and Campbell. Unlike the first three stories, which can be read independently as stand alones, we've gotten to a point where the intersection of the various stories come together, and I would recommend anyone starting out with this series, to start at the beginning. There's more enjoyment that way.So, Mr. Bad-Assedness Himself, Griffin, is back! And this time, he's sent to get Ethan King, the former outlaw turned founder and mayor of Kingstown, a refuge for former outlaws, deserters of the Civil War that's raging in the east, and people who have fled the Risers in the west. Griffin and King, Alpha males both, form a tenuous partnership at the beginning, as they understand that the real threat lies with the zombies, not with the contrivances of the Union or Confederate armies.There are lots of great action scenes as well as fun characters. I particularly enjoyed the split personality of the good Doctor. I would recommend this story, and series, to anyone that enjoys a good yarn. If you like zombies and western, then bonus points for a good read.
