I have been waiting for months to read the rest of Gus' story. Mountain Man: Safari was worth the wait!One of the most refreshing things about reading Blackmore's work is the fact that he really goes "all in." As a writer, he is not afraid to take his characters to some very dark places. The story that he tells in Safari because of that is nothing short of amazing.The solution to Gus' mystery of the disappearing zombie dead was terrifying and, literally, gave me nightmares.Blackmore's apocalypse is neither neat nor formulaic. Unlike most zombie stories, the answer doesn't lie in guns and military training. There's a darkness that is only hinted at in Mountain Man, but which is fully explored in Safari. The world that is left after a zombie apocalypse is an insane one. Sometimes, even the good guy has to choose between insanity and the dark side.... This is not your typical zombie story, believe me! This book is thought-provoking and stays with you long after you have read the final page.
