After reading the 3rd installment of the Autumn series, I was very excited for this one to be released. In the context of the series, it is a good continuation of the Autumn world, although I am a little bit disappointed and curious as to why Disintegration branches off from the storyline we've been following (although I did catch a hint of the other group's exodus to the island with the mention of the plane overhead).

As with much of David Moody's work, the focus is a humanistic one, wherein we witness how and why people react in such a world. There are reoccurring themes of survivalist segregation, and "us" versus "them" in the mentalities of both us v.s zombies, and mindset v.s mindset. I hadn't noticed this as much in the other Autumn books until I read the first 2 books in the Hater series.

I'm intrigued by the Autumn world. This is a somewhat different take on the genre which is refreshing, and definitely part of the canon of recent zombie fiction.
