Dead Coast: A Novel of the Living Dead

by L.I. Albemont

The origins of the outbreak were never in dispute although at first almost no one believed the dead were actually rising. When the island nation of Haiti was struck by wave after wave of violent earthquakes killing thousands, the Z-virus lurched spectacularly to life. Early reports of cannibalism from inside the country were disregarded until shocking live video splashed across the world’s television and computer screens. Suddenly everyone was a believer.
Nevertheless, in many ways it still didn’t seem real. Anything could happen out there, in the barbarous realm of the third world, beyond the pale of civilization. There were myriad reasons that it could never happen here. Health and security protocols, a literate, well-informed public, etc., were all on our side.

In truth, the virus was already here and spreading like the viral videos sent out from Haiti during the first days after the quake. News anchors and subject-matter experts (yes, there were subject-matter experts on the living dead) speculated and conjectured until theory gave way to the infected, pus-filled reality breaking down doors and smashing through windows with flailing, rotten hands.

I was left with some in answered questions

I enjoyed the first two immensely. I felt this one was hurried and in conclusive. What happened to Charlie? Did he survive? I guess the end to Bea and David was they were with his parents? I wish these parts of the book were a little more elaborated and conclusive. But overall was a good read. The whole series was.

As with a lot of zombie tales this leaves our characters in a happy for now kinda situation, not too bad, although what ever happened to that cop dude from all the way in the first book? I don't think I missed it but who knows?
All in all, pretty solid zompoc trilogy.

This series has been a pleasure to read. Was saden by those who fallen victim to the virus. And so proud of those who made it out. No part of this book was dry or dull.

Sad to see this series end. It was one of the more enjoyable zombie sets I've read. Quality characters, plot, and a solid ending.
