It's a pretty typical apocalypse by zombie book. A good portion of the book is spent coming to grips with zombies and people freaking out. The latter half deals with a rescue and return. There's nothing new here. It doesn't really stand out. I'm not even sure there's a plot. Towards the end, all of the characters seem to run together.

If you're looking for standard apocalypse by zombie fare, this is it. It's a good way to kill a few hours.

Enjoyable prequel to Zombie Inc. Where the original is a refreshing new look at the genre, this one is more standard fare. It does a good job of setting up some of what is to come in the future (aka book one).

A complete 180 from the first book

This book was a boring stereotypical zombie book, without interesting plot or characters. It didn’t even feel like the same author as the first book. Sadly disappointed.

Love it!

Learning the back story of zombie Inc was such an interesting ride! I really hope we get to see things grow more!

Prequel to Zombie Inc. Stands on it's own and has much hilarity.

Not a bad read

Was an enjoyable book. Not a patch on the first. But that was a hard act to follow. Worth a read.
