I really enjoyed Grave New World, its not your average zombie shoot'em up. Blackmore starts the zombie apocalypse with a nice premise, a crashing meteor. Blackmore creates interesting and engaging characters for the reader to root-for, especially the protagonist. It was very entertaining to have the story told through the POV of a female instead of the standard macho ex-military type that can only speak in monosyllables. The dialogue is witty and flows smoothly.The biggest fault with the story is that it just ends, leaving way too many loose ends and the reader disappointed. Even with the promised sequel the seven-day journey between the warehouse where the trio over-nighted and the safe zone is not covered. Had it been more than a dollar I would have been greatly disappointed. As it is Grave New World is a good story that could have been better.
