The last section of this book is called Endgame, and the 3 or 4 chapters leading up to it are ten-times more wickedly paced than the rest of the book. Wondering if Adam Baker can keep the momentum and tension build through this last haul.

Gag! Guess we all knew it would come to this. Some people will eat anything.

Whoa! That’s a twist I didn’t see coming!
Nice to see that Adam Baker realized that another shock was required to keep me engaged!

Sometimes I wonder why I read the bloodiest, goriest books in the morning while I eat breakfast. Then I shove the thought away and keep reading.🦴🩸😬

Definitely Walking Dead drama vibes.
Think this book was published in 2011 so, given that the TV Series premiered in October 2010???? It’s possible there was a borrowing of ideas, some massaged thoughts and concepts.
An homage to a successful idea and riding its coattails. I’m okay with that. Otherwise we wouldn’t have piles of zombies, vampires, and werewolfs and I would be crying in my morning cereal!

Following four separated main characters over the last four chapters. One I had been wondering about because she just disappeared from the pages for a time. Another I thought had died but apparently not. Does feel like a miniseries rather than a book. Ironically it is still holding my older brain attention.

Sometimes this book is painful within its characters futility and doubt. Not many of them are fighters, which begs to ask how many humans really are or if Adam Baker has most of us pegged correctly.

This book would make a really great graphic novel or mini-series. Has it been picked up? Picked apart?
Someone could make millions🤣

Turning into Walking Dead in severe cold climate???
Lots of treachery going on.
Lots of underhanded planning and backstabbing.
Lots of infected but with a seriously bizzaro twist.
And it’s cold. Did I mention it’s cold?
And not quite 1/2 way through???

Such a good choice! So glad I found this book for my summer creature-feature fiasco. It’s a pleasant surprise. While not much creature yet, the icy conditions are a cool break from 90+ degree real life.
