  <default_description>Where can you go when the dead are everywhere? Cities have become overrun with legions of the dead, all the them intent on destroying what's left of the living. Trapped inside a fortified skyscraper, a handful of survivors prepare to make their last stand against an unstoppable, undying enemy. With every hour their chances diminish and their numbers dwindle, while the numbers of the dead can only rise. Because sooner or later, everything dies. And then it comes back, ready to kill.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I thought the ending of <em>The Rising</em> fit the novel very well.  The reader know what would happen next, Keene didn't need to write the scene.  However, there were many cries of foul, demanding a sequel to a book the author thought was finished.

    <body><![CDATA[I think Keene could of left it at the first book.  This one reminded me of a &quot;B&quot; action film.  Cheesy one liners and all.  There just wasn't enough bite to the story.  It wasn't scary.  It did have some good ideas but what I liked about the first was missing in this one.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you like fast-paced books and don't mind the gory stuff then this is the book to read.  This was just as action-packed as the The Rising. I wasn't fond of the ending but I guess they can't all have happy endings.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book starts off with the same great pacing and writing I came to expect from The Rising. I stayed glued to the pages until I finished. What killed this book and cost it a star or two for me was that the ending seemed to be hurried together. I don't know if this was his initial concept or not, b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10362459">more...</a>]]></body>

In fact, the first chapter is essentially a retelling of the last chapter of The Rising.<br/><br/>Keene builds on the new style of zombies he created in The Rising and sets the sce...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10813286">more...</a>]]></body>
