He eventually finds himself trapped in the fortified shelter, cut off from the 0.1% of humanity that remains, and completely surrounded by the rest, who've become ravenous, mindless zombies. Is escape possible, or has he entombed himself forever?"Origin" is the first book in the Z.N.A. series, and about 15k words in length.
As a first installment, this novella does quite well in introducing the main character and the situation. I did feel a little slighted. I didn't realize quite how short it was until after I read it. On the other hand, I will definitely be picking up the sample for the next installment. I want to find out what happens next.
Now for the rest of the story. Where is it? Good start to what promised to be a very good zombie story but. . . the book ended. I have no idea what the title is about and after a couple of good zombie interactions the story stopped. Please credit my account 45 cents.
