We also follow the story of Shadowman, a strange character that keeps himself to himself, but he follows St George and his army of grown-up, diseased crusaders.
Another intriguing, yet disgusting, character is the Collector. A grown-up that’s pretty smart, but he collects everything, including kids.
That’s not all; we also learn more about the group of kids that holed up in the Museum of Natural History. We meet up with Justin and Wiki and Jibber-jabber. The group of nerds from The Dead. They want a cure and they have a pretty nice set-up with a lot of kids living with them. Unfortunately with all their resources going into keeping the laboratory working, security isn’t as great.
Eventually the story leads into The Enemy’s plotline as Brooke meet up with Blue and Maxie in Buckingham Palace.
The Fear is an exciting tale, filled with twists and turns and gore. It also shows the remarkable way that kids are able to cope through something as horrendous as a world without adults. Now, I don’t know a lot about child psychology, but I do know that if something like this was to happen that the kids would survive one way or another, and I think that Higson has tapped into that splendid need for survival and brought it to live in this series.
This book, like the previous ones, is a bit gory and yucky, but it’s a great zombie series that is definitely worth a read.
