With the melting of the icecaps comes world wide flooding... and flesh eating zombies. Yes folks. You read that correctly, zombies and floods.
Anyway, Simon Bestwick brings you three main characters who become intertwined as the population of the planet seeks refuge from rapidly rising waters and the undead. I don't know. Maybe this is how Waterworld came to be. Skip that last thought. Strike bad sci-fi from your mind.

I've been reading Simon's short fiction for over a decade, have watched him progress fantastically as an author, and was very impressed with his novella 'The Narrows' in the We Fade to Grey antho earlier this year. Tide of Souls is the first novel-length piece of work of his I've tried, written for a range of unconnected zombie books published by Abaddon Books. I enjoyed it very much, though I'm struggling to find much original in zombie fiction these days, no matter how good they might be in

The world is slowly being flooded but it’s not the water level you need to worry about, it’s the glowing-green-eyed monsters within. This is the debut novel from Simon Bestwick (point of interest - I have known Simon for the best part of 10 years now and admire his writing greatly), part of Abbadon’s ‘Tomes Of The Dead’ series and is exceptionally assured. And, as with most of Mr Bestwick’s output, exceptionally well written.
Loosely broken into three parts - Katja, McTarn and Sti More...

This story is told in three perspectives as the story unfolds, first a civilian, then military, then scientific. I was sad to leave each narrator behind, but each was as good as the last. This book brings an interesting twist to zombies, zombies not only created from the drowning victims of the melting ice caps, but also having a sort of hive mind controlled by... Can't tell, it's too good. Honestly one of the best, most claustrophobic zombie books I have ever read.

It started out good and I loved the charaters the only thing that annoyed me was the hint of romance btwn two of the characters only to have the female fall for someone else. The concept for the zomibes was a new and welcomed idea. The ending though, for me, was seriously lacking.

I was entertained. It has some gruesome bits. I guess the ending was a bit corny, but overall it kept me reading.
