The Resistance Is Dead #1
The Outbreak
The Resistance is Dead is a unique take on the classic zombie tale. The story takes readers from the first bite straight into the apocalypse and is told from two, alternating perspectives. The first, that of President Adam Chambers, a president beloved by all who genuinely tries to always put the needs of the people first and his plight to manage what his cabinet promised him was a passing illness. The second, that of a group of hard core zombie preppers. They've played every video game. They've watched every movie. They've read every book, but how will they fare when they attempt to apply all they've learned to a real-life zombocalypse?

Zombies are typically pretty intriguing and there are many iterations of zombies and how they came to be. In Kevin Mosseles's The Resistance is Dead the rise of zombies in America is just getting started.

The beginning of a zombie outbreak is in its first stage. Disguising itself as a flu-like illness, the virus runs its course, leaving the victims feeling like new just before they die...and then rise again with a hunger for humans. As this situation unfolds across the country, a group of friends well-versed in zombie video games, movies, and books prepare themselves to take on the hordes while President Adam Chambers tries to learn more about what's happening and keep his family, and the American people, as safe as possible.
As an origin story to the start of a zombie apocalypse, this narrative offers a variety of character perspectives on how it arises and could be dealt with, most humorously from that of the video game players, which I found to be the most relatable. The type of third person narration was roving in nature, shifting from character to character by paragraph, which, while offering a whole picture of the situation, was occasionally disorienting. I also found it a little strange to have zombies referred to as "zeds," which is a British English thing that hasn't really jumped the pond to the United States where the story was set.
Overall, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Act I
This is a nice light read. I like that the president is involved in this novel. The best is yet to come.
