The New Days: The First Son (A Zombie Tale) by Robert DeCoteau is a great surprise of a story!  The surprise is how well written, thought-provoking, captivating, and complex the story is.  It is partly a gory zombie tale, part examination of a father-son relationship, and part a "Mad Max" romp through a depressing dystopian future.  It satisfies on all these levels.  The writing is clear and descriptive.  The world-building is detailed, effective and believable.  And best of all, the characters are realistic, complex, and fascinating - the good guys are a bit bad, and the bad guys are a bit good.  I stayed up late reading because I was so involved in the story.  My only complaint was that it ended.  I hope the author writes more about the New Days.  I will buy everything he writes.
