The closer Rhonda gets to the truth, the more she uncovers mysteries and horrors that go beyond her understanding. Why does everyone the man come in contact with end up dead? More importantly, why do they come back a day later, covered blood and gore, wielding guns and knives, murdering people in broad daylight?

Voodoo zombies alive (or undead anyway) and well in America. And better yet, since the word was never used in the story, I am coining it, copyrighting it, TM-ing that motha-fucka, circle R, and Circle K'ing it right now: "zom-bomb."

This is a short tale with wild ambition. For the most part, it reads like a thriller with elements of horror, but it ends... well, it ends the best way it could have. It is fast-paced with a short list of strong characters, each with his or her role to play. The story unfolds quickly and the action and intrigue doesn't stop.

My first read by Mr. Thomas, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The Summer I Died has been getting rave reviews. Think I'll give that one a shot next.

Take a terrorist based thriller, add a bunch of zombies to do the terrorising, and you have the unique premise of Ryan C Thomas' Enemy Unseen. This fast-paced and enjoyable read features strong writing and an intriguing plot, with the only down side being how poor some of the main character's decision making was to put her in harm's way (even if this also meant the thick of the action).

One for those who enjoy a bit of horror marring their action fix.

3.5 Bombies Go Boom for Enemy Unseen.

Traditional Haitian voodoo zombies in New York City, compete with CIA analysts, Cuban drug smugglers, and a rapid pace of suspense and violence. Loved it!

Another five star read from Ryan c Thomas, I never would have thought I would give a zombie novel five stars since I don't like zombies(and didn't know what this was when I started it) but this one earned the rating i gave it. As with all his books this one was well written with good characters and a great storyline. He also seems to have done his research on Santeria and voodoo.

Terrorist zombies? What!? I picked this up from the author’s website with plans to better my speed reading. At around chapter 4 it pulled me in. I had to slow down and absorb every word. It’s a quick fun read & action driven. Horror/thriller. Loved it!

“Enemy Unseen” is really a quite good story. What I especially liked about it was the zombies were the old-style zombies, brought to life through voodoo. No alien dust, or new killer virus or any of the other ways zombies have been created in so many of the recently written zombie tales. I prefer my zombies and my vampires to be old school, and “Enemy Unseen” does not disappoint. I whole-heartedly recommend this to anyone who longs for the good old days, when zombies were zombies. This is an entertaining read, and one you will not regret buying.

Another great read from Ryan C Thomas, author of the excellent The Summer I Died and The Ratings Game. Haiti voodoo threatens to destroy the United States.

I recently read ‘Bug Boy’ by Ryan Thomas and really loved it, so I had high hopes for ‘Enemy Unseen’. I wasn’t disappointed. Ryan sure is a talented writer. He knows how to tell a story with great humour and still maintain tremendous plot tension.

Here we have Rhonda White - a backroom CIA analyst – who is asked to help find a super-bad baddy. Her boss tells her she’s not in any danger whatsoever. Yeah, right. Never trust a CIA chief when he or she tells you that you’re in no danger, it usually means that you’re in the biggest do-do imaginable … probably involving unspeakable horrors. And so it is for poor Rhonda. Turns out the bad guy is some kind of master Voodou king with the power to animate an army of dead people and he’s really taken against Rhonda.

Along the way she teams up with CIA agent Steven Plante and a great partnership develops which produces some great banter packed full of black humour.

This is a fantastic pacy horror thriller which I can thoroughly recommend.
