The story starts off with a group of survivors stuck in a restaurant toilet being taunted by a group of zombies, one of those people is Mitchell, who eventually opens the door to The Lich Lord and listens to his proposal. AR is very clever in almost summing up the last four books in one little speech from this “fella”.
This continues to be a
zompoc with a difference as this particular zombie keeps getting faster, more
cunning, nastier and definitely smarter, not to mention shifting his appetite
preferences. The Lich Lord is expanding
not only his empire but his abilities but what is his end goal?
Back in the Daytona Beach
camp Veronica is working hard on keeping things running whilst loathing and
doubting Jeff, so is Claude who is “promoted” to refugee coordinator; a job
that sounds, from Jeff’s version, very much like the Third Reich’s ideal
sorting plan. Jeff is a horrific character but totally believable, sadly.
Our “heroine” Darlene
continues to recover from her horrific birth and loss. With a lot of help from
an unexpected source. Her baby is not yet safe and so many factions have plans
for him.
The ending is climactic
but of course leaves you wanting more, bring it on.
Initially I will be the
first to admit I was very unsure of this series with its hard than diamond
girls, their thongs and the sexually rampant zombies BUT AR has evolved (like
his zombies) and his writing is much more articulate, eloquent, plot stuffed,
character laden and all manner of other wonderful things, so yes, I am now a
huge fan of these books and the author.
