Monster Nation - David Wellington

http://www.brokentype.com/nation/

A pretty reasonable zombie book.

Sort of somewhere in the middle of Dawn of the Dead (random people trapped by zombie horde) to World War Z (highly organised and led people trapped by zombie horde.)

This book has a few characters, a US National Guard captain, a government suit, and a girl who gets zombified but is still rational, unlike the others.

There is a strange supernatural rationale for all this, and is what the various people involved are working towards, with, of course, lots of slaughter of zombies and people in the process.

Apparently a prequel type story for an earlier book which I have not seen, but given this, likely to be quite readable, too.

Yeah, I discovered that about half an hour after I put it on notfree to start with. :)

Thanks.

I'd pretty happily give those a shot.

You read any?

I've just started the first one so too early to judge, but it looks decent.
