A pretty entertaining spin on the zombie genre. A bit "ammo sexual" at times, but altogether a goid read.

I can't believe this

At all. The idea of both F & SF is to be believable, and this just doesn't cut it. People recalled illegally, with no reasons given, supposedly due to OPSEC, which just proves they don't even know what OPSEC means.

This started getting really hokey about 2/3s of the way in. I mean, it was moderately hokey before that point, but ye gods.

Not to my taste. Oh, John Ringo, no! He's honest about the book. Read the author's postfix before the book.
