High Ground: House of Adair

by Jonathan Webber

- Official Book Description from Product Page -

Against the backdrop of a zombie pandemic, a dispossessed heir returns to his hometown to become an unlikely leader.

James Adair is a Nashville session musician and trust-fund hipster. When he emerges from the woods after a long solo camping trip, he discovers his world devastated by a pandemic infection that renders its victims into cannibal corpses. With an old master key, a gift from his great-grandfather, he returns to the family mansion, now the property of the Euchee County Parks Department. Discovering the caretaker's family living there, he seeks to claim his birthright, make allies, and rebuild a life for himself and the people he meets, while battling ghouls for possession of his hometown.

Great start to a series. I especially enjoyed the character development and "The Stand" feel. I am looking forward to reading about what James, Cindy, Rob, Nate et al build in the quiet that has become the world.
