I must say that this book grabbed me right from the very first page. In fact, I hadn't even turned the page before I was completely pulled in. Before I knew it, 9pm had turned into 2am and I was almost done. Oops.Peter Middleton's masterfully imagined and written historical horror was action-packed and never let up for a moment. In this novel, we explore what could be the end of Great Britain. I'm so tired and over the zombie crazy but this...this was thoroughly entertaining. A lot of times in other zombie novels the zombies are just there or the result of some sort of virus. It's always the same tired story. This time, the zombies are legionnaires from the early AD 60s that have risen from the dead- finally, a more traditional and dare I say it, believable zombie.Without giving too much away, the plot was fantastic and original. I really enjoyed this novel and I highly recommend this to horror/historical fiction/action fans.
