This is the third and final novel in Grants Newsflesh trilogy, and was wonderful. To start: dont bother with the book until youve read the first two novels. This set is quite bad for starting in the middle.

But oh, what a great novel this is. You might think that the book would be one fight versus zombies after another, but the Zombie Apocalypse really is simply the backdrop for what this story is *really* about: government agency conspiracy.

And it was fun. Grants writing really grips me and draws me in: she does a great job concentrating on her characters and really bringing them to life. These novels understand that the relationships between people and the expression of that relationship is where the humanity and heart of a good story lie, and that understanding really shines through.

Her characters also have to deal with a world thats been messed with in a terrifying yet fascinating way, and the way they deal with that has been a highlight (for me) of the whole series.

Im a big fan of these books. You could do far worse than spend your beach time nestled up with them.

5 of 5 stars.

I love the characters in this series and I love the writing. However, this was my least favorite of the trilogy, mostly because of the direction it took at the end of the second book. It is still an enjoyable read, but I felt it might have been more memorable to have just read the first book alone.
