Covid on steroids!
First we endured the covid epidemic and then something infinitely worse comes along - a plague of zombies! The management and guests of a London hotel find themselves besieged by a host of ravenous living dead. As with covid the epidemic began (allegedly) when a deadly virus was allowed to escape from a supposedly secure military research facility. However, this time the world was on high alert and the UK was effectively quarantined and 70 million people were left to survive however they could. This story followed a similar plot to most other zombie tales. It had plenty of action and wasn't particularly bad but then again it wasn't particularly good. I won't be bothering with the rest of the series.

WOW
This zombie story was intense. It was to be expected when people started dropping like flies. But the ending was the most frightening.
