I was impressed by the amount of work that went into this, especially for a first novel. The quality of the writing was very good. The introduction was gripping and I loved the unique spin that Joseph Chiron put on the initial zombie infection. The book was packed with action. Even the zombies were uniquely designed. I am a huge fan of zombies in general and was very pleased to see this break away from some of the redundant, overdone themes that persist in many zombie books.The only issues I had with this novel were minor. I thought the middle of the book felt too distance from the ending and the beginning, where it was pulled together.  I also felt that some descriptions were overwritten (mostly regarding the zombies themselves... after being told how they looked and smelt half a dozen times or more, I didn't see a great need to continually describe them to me).I really enjoyed this novel, though, even with some minor issues. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
