Product Description:
Jonah Caine, a lone survivor in a zombie-infested world, struggles to understand the apocalypse in which he lives. Unable to find a moral or sane reason for the horror that surrounds him, he is overwhelmed by violence and insignificance.
After wandering for months, Jonah's lonely existence dramatically changes when he discovers a group of survivors. Living in a museum-turned-compound, they are led jointly by Jack, an ever-practical and efficient military man, and Milton, a mysterious, quizzical prophet who holds a strange power over the dead. Both leaders share Jonah's anguish over the brutality of their world, as well as his hope for its beauty. Together with others, they build a community that reestablishes an island of order and humanity surrounded by relentless ghouls.
But this newfound peace is short-lived, as Jonah and his band of refugees clash with another group of survivors who remind them that the undead are not the only--nor the most grotesque--horrors they must face.

I liked the author's idea of presenting sort of deep side of people in zombie period. He tried to heat the philosophical side of it, but it was too shallow and merely refreshing. I hoped to see something like "would this be the next evolution?", "what would God's (specifically analyzed) purpose of this disaster be?", "how would the ecosystem work if they eventually dominate the human race?", and something like that.
I really liked his work of revealing the personalities of each one. It ... Read More

This book is fine for young readers however I would not recommend it for an adult. Story line is simple and very basic.

This was a really good book! There was a lot to keep me interested the entire way through and I really honestly did not put it down. Great action and great story!
