Mahir is one of my favourite characters in the Newsflesh series, and it's so nice to go back and see him a little ways after the end of Blackout. It was also pretty fantastic to see another view on how the Rising affected the world, and how the dual goals of conservation and not-being-eaten-by-zombies were portrayed in Australia. It very neatly emphasizes some of the criticism from the Newsflesh series -- the society of fear, the theater of safety and the trade of freedoms for security -- while not sacrificing any of the story to it."Murderland" continues to be my favourite nickname for Australia -- thanks Mira Grant!
