Order and Chaos have fought their little chess matches on world after world, often coming to draw. so when Order found a new, and powerful champion in an insane superhero, Chaos had to step up his game. And he found it in an ambitious would be sorcerer called Jarvi who had bet his gaming group that they could not survive the Zombie Apocalypse and really MEANT it. now Jarvi would start an apocalypse just to prove them wrong. And somehow, Grenademan had to stop it. While the Circle of Gamers regard him as insane, the government trying to kill him and his own sanity quite questionable, Grenademan has to keep four people alive while seven different kinds of zombies are trying to ill them.
Ricks created a thrilling book full of mystery and action. I really liked it! You keep connecting with all the characters which is not easy. It is very hard for an author to create empathy between the reader and the characters, but you can expect it in Grenademan Vs The Zombies. I recommend Grenademan Vs The Zombies as it is a great science fiction book mixed with political issues and mystery for you to think about how sometimes we are pawns and we don’t even know it. Ricks made a wonderful job describing the many characters personalities and expressions. I truly enjoyed how his characters were real. Jarvi decided to win a bet, where he would be able to survive the apocalypse and a Zombie attack. Will he be able to succeed or will he have his brains eaten out? In the middle of this, Grenademan is our saviour. He is the one that has the task to keep everybody alive and away from the zombies. Jarvi is definitely my favourite character ever, he is just like so many of my friends and that is why I felt a huge connection. A brainiac is what he is, no pun intended. I also enjoyed how this book is fast-paced, but at the same time it is not rushed as some sci-fi novels tend to be. Ricks has also used the perfect amount of dialogue, so that we wouldn’t be bored with too many descriptive scenes, but at the same time we wouldn’t get to much information when the characters are interacting. To me this book is a must for this fall. You can expect a roller coaster of emotions. Believe me when I tell you that it is addictive. You can expect so many great moments that I had to take a break from reading.
