Rating: 2 out of 5

I understand that this is a novella in a series, however, the author failed to take several things in account to make people want to continue to read this series.Failure one, the author decided to pin point what was the cause of the zombie epidemic.  He linked it to water bottling plants.  It was a good start, but he failed to state what happened to the water, was it an accident, was it a form of terrorism?Failure two, this was the first volume in this set I found and nowhere in this book does it say anything to the titles meaning.  What does LZR-1143 mean?  If it is an attempt to get you to read the other volumes to find out, it didn't work for me.Failure three, there are several parts in this book that is non-realistic.  For example, there is no cell phone reception and during a critical moment, Louis's ringtone goes off and makes the zombies bang on the door harder.  There is no reception, no mention of Louis setting an alarm, so why is it going off.  I have to be in my ringtones folder for mine to go off on my phone, why at a critical point would he be on his ringtones.Another part is when the power was restored.  A zombie outbreak has been going on for hours, yet one Gung-Ho electrician stays on the job and makes sure he gets the electric back on, which just happens to let the zombies in the building.This overall was a good idea but poorly executed.
