...because this story will make you set it all aside until you've finished reading it!I'm not a zombie fan, but this isn't really a zombie story in the typical sense. I don't know what led me to download the sample but I'm glad I did because I was totally caught up in Mad Mitch's flight for his life. He's just a regular guy-- likable and sympathetic-- who finds himself in an unbelievable situation, which is a little Hitchcockian. He's clever with quick self-preservation instincts that amaze you each time he gets out of a tight, life-threatening situation.  The basic plot, while seemingly ridiculous to begin with, makes more sense as you discover the cause of Mitch's peculiar problem, so suspending belief isn't too hard to do.I, like other reviewers, didn't find The Naked Man to be an integral, or even necessary, part of the story. If he's there as a loose end which leads to more books, I can understand the link he provides but that doesn't mean I didn't find it distracting. It causes a bump in the otherwise well-done pacing of the story.
