Hey there folks! It is I, the reviewer of the books, novels that need to be reviewed! And today, I have a juicy one for you! Storm, written by Keith D Graham!

First of all, I would like to say I appreciate the time the Author (or editor) took to edit this book for the kindle. Maybe it is just my very oblivious ways, but I found that it was fantastic to use continuous scrolling and the reading ruler on my kindle. Very nice, very nice. Makes reading with my wacky eyes a luxury! Thank you!

With that out of the way, let's start with this book.

Do you like characters? Then you came to the right place. If you have read one of my reviews before, you know that I am picky when it comes to characters. Too little, I cry about it. Too many and too many details, I groan about it. But this book. Sure, there are A LOT of characters. About 76, give or take a few. Whoa right? Call the hell down with the adding of names already! Just kidding! Funny right? Actually, you can trust me when I said it was well done. There were main characters, supporting characters, heroes, villains, and..um... let's say disposable characters. As I write this, it reminds me of a great story I read when I was a kid. About this homeless girl who comes across a cabin in the woods, and after a bit of breaking and entering (don't worry, she get's busted later), found out that sometimes things are too little, and sometimes too much, but often there is a sweet spot! This story, I found it a great mixture! So well done!

When you read this book, you will see what I mean. In the beginning, man, oh man, it was tremendously done. A furry of introduction to characters that, well, let's just say, may have or may not have stuck around for the rest of the story. Great move!

My most beloved character was Alicia. Of course, this was after a bit of name-calling and finger-pointing at her on my part! Like, "OH! YOU LITTLE BITCH!" she turned out pretty cool. My most hated character was Tyler. He was a deranged evil bastard who was as dumb as bricks. So maybe it didn't dawn on him that he was like that. (Just saying). Then finally, THE DRAUGARS! Theses Zombies, unlike TWD zombies, had a cause. Taking no names and cashing no cheques. They were here on a mission! I hear you now, "but what Mister, was their purpose?" On the other hand, I will have to explain to you, "No spoilers, child!"

I have read other books by Mr. Graham, and this one was his best yet. It was definitely an upgrade from The Tacharan: A story of Loch Ness. THE TACHARAN: A Story of Loch Ness eBook: Graham, Keith D: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store Not that there was anything wrong with that novel. But this novel was smooth. It slowly raised to point, and then BAM! It was time for the conclusion that comes down like a can of whoop-ass that would make Steve Austin jealous!

Now, if I could be so rude to ask for a favour from the Author. Mr. Graham, how about a prequel? The possibilities are endless, and I feel that this story could go in so many directions! In particular, I would LOVE to read about the rise of the GA4 organization! You know, mentalities, hierarchy, recruiting, their start? Now that, that would be the bulls bal...er um...

After all that, and laying out what I liked about this book, I feel that this book would be great for Zombie Fanatics and The Apocalyptic end of the world crowd.

Thank you for the great read!

Good read

I do like the lead up showing the events that ultimately were the cause for this particular apocalypse. The idea of greed being the reason toxic waste is dumped into the ocean off the coast of Africa is most likely scarily close to actuality than I care to admit. The idea of the hurricane combining that waste with a flesh eating organism is indeed frightening.
I enjoyed reading this story…but a little more back story on Doug would have been nice. He says he’s been working on his fortifications for 10 years but where did his money come from? That being said, it was still an interesting book.

Good read

I enjoyed this book and the character developments. It had some good zombie scenes and action. I like the different take on how the Zomie apocalypse starts and it makes you think... I do feel there wasn't enough explanation on how Greg had the money for all that he had prepared for but good thing for our survivors he did!

Great book

Great stand alone zompoc. Good characters with plenty of action and a good story line. I highly recommend tis book, especially if you want a stand alone novel instead if a series.
