Anizombie
A meteorite fell into the Tennessee River in Decatur, Alabama. A fissure inside the lump of stone contained parasitic microbes that were released into the water. Small fish ate the parasite colonies. They were in turn eaten by larger fish, which were caught by a local fisherman. This introduced them into the human food chain and initiated a zombie apocalypse.
It began with a 911 call in Decatur. When the caller didn’t speak to the dispatcher she sent the police, who called an ambulance after finding Roy Akins unconscious on the floor. Patient zero died in the Emergency Room of Decatur General Hospital.
The cadaver was taken to the hospital morgue. Inside Mr. Akins’ body, the parasitic microbes that had killed him began to starve due to the lack of nutrients, normally provided by the host. This caused the clusters located inside his skull to become more active. They generated nerve impulses that they sent throughout the body. One by one, the parasites were able to reanimate Roy’s central nervous system. Brain damage from the lack of oxygen had destroyed the victim’s cognitive ability, and his circulatory system had collapsed and had to be restarted, all of which took time to happen.
Two hours after his death, Roy awoke to a ravenous hunger.

Great story! Ricky Sides writes great apocalyptic fiction. He makes it very believable and plausible. This is his best book that I have read yet. I would recommend this story and any other books by this author to any reader that enjoys apocalyptic fiction books.

a good story, and some how, a very clean zombie apocalypse.
I like the dog Ox, and his part of the story.
Yes, it was a good read, but some how it didn't grip me.
An interesting take on the beginning of the virus and how it spread. As if getting bitten isn't bad enough, don't cook your food properly and you can get it too!

This book was quite technical, and gave much detail into that aspect of the story. I felt a disconnect to the characters, and would have loved to get to "know" each one on an emotional level.
