A book for real people!

S.K.S. Perry writes like real people talk and think. He's as sarcastic as the best of us..or at least as I'm LOL. There are few authors along his line. He's in the same league as John Scalzi and David Eddings! Cheers, Mr. Perry!

Overall Feedback: So here we are for the second time, dead, well not dead but not really alive and Decker (our hero?0 is doing his best to keep the Zombies in Kingston out of Antique shops? Come on this is hilarious and sets the tone for how Perry would like this series to go. This is another example of the ability of Perry to add humor to the fantasy and adventure that he writes. His experience in the military shines in the battles and his ability to write shines in the overall story. So click buy now and enjoy the ride.

Point of View: Once again you are Decker a not really alive but not dead guy.

Voice: Humor and adventure and a style all the authors own.

Character Development: Perry brings the characters from the first and adds more dimension to each flawlessly.

Dialogue : Humor shines in the dialogue.

Pacing: Just as blitz page turning as the first.

Setting: Kingston...Who knew other than Perry.

Continuity: Not one single aspect of the story is missed and the continuation from the first story has been executed flawlessly.
