The authors provided me with a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.Okay, let's see a show of hands. How many people are sick of the same old zombies, shambling along, chanting "brainnnnnzzzzzzz"? Now, how many of you would welcome the opportunity to read something totally new and unique in the zombie sub-genre? Good, that's what I thought.You're in luck, because Scott Nicholson and J.T. Warren have conspired to bring you what is really a very clever story that scarcely even uses the word "zombie", and the "things" that act sort of like zombies are so out of the ordinary, that you might even wonder if there isn't a better name for them.For one thing, these critters can climb trees. When have you ever heard of a zombie climbing a tree? Then again, they can swim very well, and quite faster than a canoe can be paddled across a lake. I don't want to give away anything, so I'll just stop with those two fairly major divergences from the zombie norm. (No, his name isn't Norm, I just meant... oh, never mind.)This story originated as a script for a "B" movie. I personally would love to see this made into a movie. I would be disappointed if Hollywood tried to turn it into anything other than a "B" movie, because the best "monster" movies, since the advent of the moving picture show, have all been "B" movies.In the meantime, you can pick up this book and read all about it. It's a great and very creative story. It's obvious the two authors had a lot of fun working on this. YOU will have a lot of fun reading it. So what are you waiting for? This is just the story you need to read in between all those heavy, serious tomes you may be working through at the moment. Not only is it a fun story, but it actually has a legitimate plot, too!
