I was looking for another "Z" book and found this one, it was well hidden. I had to really search for something to read. This book did not have much in the way of recommendations from others, but what there was of them was basically all fives, except maybe..ONE! I've read some great zombie books written by Mark Tufo, John O'Brien and James Cook, etc., you get the idea. I really doubted there were any other authors that compared with the quality of their books. But, WOW, this was terrific! Well written, very good characters and the story and well developed. One of the top IMO!!! Really could not put it down! However, there was one irritation that bugs me! How long do I have to wait until the next book comes out?!! That really bothers me, reading about a character, caring for them, follow them through all their hardships, then left hanging! Will they survive the attack of the rogue living, or the horde of dead roaming and building outside the gate! Are they alive? How much longer do I have to wait?!!
