FROM THE BOOK:Depending on which part of the world you've been trapped inyou have probably encountered either the talkers, the runners, or the bastardcrawlers. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you're one of the luckyones.
REVIEW:The first paragraph that I included form the book, The Deadz by Michael Esser, does a prettygood job of describing the zombies to come within its pages.
The story is centered on an international race to create acure-all vaccine. Imagine the capability of a vaccination that could cure everyillness known to man. Cancer… AIDS… they would all become a horrible blemish inour history books.
But inevitably, in a race to be the first country to createthis wonder drug, things go very wrong. The cure-all reanimates the dead. Andeach nation - with their own special formulas – has created their own brand ofrevenant.  There is a wide variety, fromrunners to stumblers, and yes, even talkers. The talkers are more than capableof commanding all of the dead.
The beginning of the story and the transitions betweenscenes were a bit jumpy. With so much action packed into the pages, we neverreally get too attached to the characters. Some readers may be looking for thatemotional connection with the story centering on a father, his two youngdaughters, his sister, and brother-in-law. This story reads more like a moviescript than a novel, and this is what the author was shooting for. Mr. Esseraccomplished this by keeping full blown action on every page, but wrote verylight on the details.
Movie goers and people sitting in waiting rooms will lovethis. You can read this book in the amount of time that it would take to watchthe move. But for those that are looking for an in depth and complicated storyline, you may be disappointed. Zombies are zombies, and the heart of everyzombie story is chaos and destruction. With zombies finally starting to gettheir own spot light, authors are trying to find a way to reinvent them. Theeternal question is asked: What makes yours different than every other one likeit? Michael was able to create a colorful range of zombies for everyenthusiasts out there.
Coming in at under 15000 words, the story is a quick read. Don'tbe disappointed if you want more, this is only the first installment.
