It is known as The Descent. The event that brought on the fall of humanity and unleashed the violent, hungry Freaks upon the World. The mysterious pirate radio voice Doctor Midnite has called for the Regulars—the humans—who are left to "Take it back." Jonathan "Pops" Poplovitch and his team of "Exterminators" answered the call and attempted to take down the nefarious Admiral Shen, who'd set up shop in Columbus, Ohio. They failed.
Pops has been mortally wounded in his final battle with Shen. In his final moments Pops recalls pivotal moments of his life. In his final testimony, as he confronts his own mortality in the presence of an unseen listener, Pops will learn his greatest lesson.

Pops is a story that pops!
I thoroughly enjoyed Pops. Having already read Music City Macabre, part one of the Low-Lying Lands saga, I promptly bought this add on as soon as I knew it was available. I went in with high expectations and was not disappointed. Though much shorter than the aforementioned novel, this quick romp through post-apocalyptic zombie insanity is in many ways an improvement over the novel, hence the rating being one star higher. Author Bob Williams' trademark wit and awesomely-deployed references are back in Pops. (If you don't know the connection between MacGyver and Stargate SG-1, educate yourself quick.)
If you enjoy zombie lore, this quick tale (took me about 30 minutes,) is well worth your dollar. The fact that the zombies are semi-intelligent and can even talk makes it even more awesome.
I look forward to seeing how Pops ties in with part two of the saga, and as Bob already know, I am jonesing for my next LLL fix.

Awesome
I really enjoyed this glimpse into The Low Lying Lands universe.The author is quite talented at world building and creating well developed characters.The sign of a great writer is when I am left hoping for more in the world they created.This short story left me hoping.

Pops is a short but well written tale that shows a small slice of life in the Low Lying Lands and sets things up nicely for the next novel in the series (which I'll definitely be buying). Violent and bloody, just like the life it portrays.
