Review: not a thriller

When I read the description I thought it might be worth reading. Took me longer to complete because it actually got a bit boring and too much in attempting to create a world that exist around the elite teams that control the dead. If the F word is offensive to you then this is not the book to read because it is dropped so often, it becomes numbing and as well as the constant implications of sexual liason of the team members. The men and women are treated equal in their attempt to gain the prestigious position of DTA. They assist in attempting to control the Zombie population that overtook humanity over a hundred years ago. Living in one of the last bastions of man, they protect travelers and patrol the wastelands. Gender is no excuse if you are on the teams which as it should be considering what they face but sometimes it feels as if the writer has gone overboard in putting more testosterone in the women than the men. And once again, the F bomb is dropped constantly. Behind all this drama is an old enemy that has emerged and is determined to take down this stronghold and use the zombies walking among them, herding them to get in. Their abilities are uncanny as they face the teams and appear to be winning. The story is a bit convoluting and obscenities and sexual implications could have been kept down to a minimum which would have made it into a much better tale than it actually was.
