Publisher Description
From the author of the Man Booker longlisted The Underground Railroad
A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. The worst of the plague is now past, and Manhattan is slowly being resettled. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street – aka ‘Zone One’ and teams of civilian volunteers are clearing out the remaining infected ‘stragglers’.
Mark Spitz is a member of one of these taskforces and over three surreal days he undertakes the mundane mission of malfunctioning zombie removal, the rigours of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder, and attempting to come to terms with a fallen world.
But then things start to go terribly wrong…
Customer Reviews
Well written but heavy
This author is obviously not an amateur and had the assistance of a quality editor.
That said - all the stuff you usually read a zombie book for has been pushed way into the background. If you just want a book full of people running from zombies this isn't your book.
So it's a well written book with a good idea for a story, but not for people who want loads of gung-ho action.
