None of us are new to the story of the bereaved father in search of the truth to find out how his military-enlisted son truly died, only to find that the conspiracies that are whispered in the streets and on the internet may in fact be true. What sets this book apart from all the other clones is skill. Traditional in appearance only, the plot is intense and imaginative. The story explores the darker aspects of humanity and all that ...more

recommends it for: raging melancholics

A father's loss of his son. A soldier's loss of purpose. A husband's loss of his wife. A child's loss of a cherished illusion.

Overall I wasn't really a fan of this book. It moved kind of slow, though the brief action scenes were interesting. I may have been more into the book if it hadn't been recommended to me as a zombie book, which it most certainly isn't.

Tim Lebbon is another great horror author. He is a favorite of mine. This was a good book about "Berserkers." Saying much more would give away the plot.

The cover definitely turned some heads while I was reading it. ;)

The scariest part of the book is the cover! Still kind of freaks me out. The story is a wild one but worth reading if you like horror.
