I enjoyed Maberry's Pine Deep trilogy, but this book surpasses that and I look forward to reading Joe Ledger and his team again. An entertaining read. Lots of fast-paced, well-written action, with generally believable characters. Even the science of the zombies is believable from the perspective of the genre, with obvious embellishments and shortcuts where needed. My only real quibble is the philosophizing some of the characters seem to do in the middle of intense action, which is exactly the moment someone would not stop to think about deeper meanings. Overall very enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of the genre. A group headed by terrorists have found a way to create zombies and plan on releasing this weapon on the world. Only, Joe Ledger, a Baltimore detective can save us. Hired by the government to lead a fight against the enemy, Ledger shows off his skills from beginning to end. Fast paced, creepy and thrilling, you can't stop. An exciting man versus zombie with a military feel story that keeps you wanting for more. Jonathan Maberry has delivered once again. A new twist on Jihad. This one has some mad scientist funded by a US billionare to cook up a viral strain that turns people into zombies. Joe Ledger is everybody's dream cop. He oozes muscle and attitude on every page. Toss in a secret government agency and the walking dead and you will be up late reading this book. One of my favorites for the year.
Anyone who's read Jonathan Maberry's Pine Deep Trilogy, which culminated with last year's BAD MOON RISING, knows that the martial artist-turned-Bram Stoker Award-winning author likes his kill counts in the stratosphere.
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0786018151, Paperback)Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best First NovelFrom a new master of horror comes an apocalyptic showdown between the residents of a secluded, rural town and the deadly evil that confronts them wherever they turn . . . Evil Doesn't Die The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village. The evil that once coursed through Pine Deep has been replaced by cheerful tourists getting ready to enjoy the country's largest Halloween celebration in what is now called "The Spookiest Town in America." It Just Grows Stronger But then--a month before Halloween--it begins. Unspeakably desecrated bodies. Inexplicable insanity. And an ancient evil walking the streets, drawing in those who would fall to their own demons and seeking to shred the very soul of this rapidly fracturing community. Yes, the residents of Pine Deep have drawn together and faced a killer before. But this time, evil has many faces--and the lust and will to rule the earth. This struggle will be epic.
