First off, yes, I am a zombie junkie.  Especially since I got my Kindle Keyboard 2 1/2 yrs ago.  Second, I am Michael Stephen Fuchs fan as well.  3rd, I did not receive this book for free for a review, I paid $2.99 for it the day it came out!  I have read and enjoyed a few other books by this author:Just Don't Shoot Me In The Ass,D-Boys,Counter-Assault (D-Boys #2), and of course, the 1st book in the Arisen series:Arisen, Book One - Fortress Britain.  I have the 2nd book in the Arisen series (Arisen, Book Two - Mogadishu of the Dead) on my Kindle, but have not read it yet.  When this prequel came out I jumped on this one first.  Fuchs teamed up with Glynn James for the first two Arisen books, but is the solo author of Genesis.  I love special forces/operator military thrillers, like D-Boys & Counter-Assault.  Another author of special ops thrillers I enjoy is Freddy Hansen, author ofGhost of Winter INCEPTION (Modern Warfare Series 1 SAS Black Ops Part 2).  I also love a good zombie thriller, likeResurrection:Zombie Epicby Tim Curran.  Well, with the Arisen series I get the best of both worlds.  Like a Reese's peanut butter cup (peanut butter & chocolate).Fortress Britain starts off with the zombies already a world wide threat, the end of the world as we know it, and mankind's only hope are the top tier special forces operators of Britain & the U.S. A book written just for me it appeared. Well, Genesis (Arisen) sets up the world of Fortress Britain. It starts off with some CIA agents in an outpost in the Horn of Africa and spreads from there. Once you get past the setup part the action starts hot and heavy and does NOT let up. I read the last two thirds of the book with a smile on my face, as I just kept enjoying this thriller more & more!  Arisen Genesis is sort of like a cool combination ofStrike Back: The Complete First Season (Cinemax) (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)andDawn of the Dead (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray].  Zombie lovers (and who isn't?) and military thriller lovers will enjoy the Arisen series. A third book is due out next month. I got to keep on reading and catch up........!
