About the author

Ben Brown was born in Reading, England. He struggled through school academically. Diagnosed with dyslexia meant being removed from class to attend ‘remedial” lessons. Ben did not enjoy reading and writing, and left school early to work with his father as a builder. It wasn’t until his mid-twenties that Ben persisted in teaching himself to read — and finally read his first novel.

Ben emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1990 where he now lives with his wife Michelle and two teenage children, Chelsea and Zac.

He planned his first novel each day while working as a bricklayer, to pass the hours. His love of scientific facts, futuristic possibilities, and fast-paced action infects his plots and writing style.

I'm no scaredy-cat.
I always buy this authors books, why? Because I know I'm going to have a mad, fast dash somewhere, and there will be fights between good and evil, mayhem and nobility and of course I really hate having to put it down before I finish it. When I do finish, gasping for breath, I go phew, whoa.
I'm no scaredy-cat by any means; but Zombies this time, oh well it's Ben Brown and so of course I'll read it - sensitive, smell memory notwithstanding, that sickly, sweet smell of death or far worse severely infected rotting flesh, ugh, will trigger memories I'd much rather forget. Shudder.
So, with apprehension I start reading. The start was really interesting and not at all what I was expecting.....then we struck Zombies and a brilliant, historical twist of fate on an alternate world. Of course, as always, Ben's describes it so accurately you feel are there and it gets the full-on Ben brown treatment, so again I end with a phew and a sigh of relief....
However, one warning, I did have 2 sleeps of nightmares; rare for me. So Zombie lovers and those like me who prefer fresher bodies, dip in, you won't be disappointed.
What next from Ben I wonder?

Darn..it started out so great!,

The ending was too flowery for me. I'm all doom and gloom and gory zombies. I like the idea or cockpit of the lingering..they weren't quite zombies..but they were dead :)
