Of Sudden Origin

I've read many Zombie books and found this one to be pretty good. The horde or The Others as they self-identify, are the quick, strong, violent, raging sort of zombies. Humans (The Fresh Ones) are their food of choice; the younger the better as they provide exquisite meat.

The United States is lost and walls are overrun; defense shifts North into Canada. The pandemic and thousands upon thousands of zombies are following the food. There are pockets of survivors and this tale is mostly about Jon, a former, embedded reporter. Toss in a hot, female Marine - and you've got part of the story.

The rest centers around rag-tag survivors and scientists from the CDC running a theory for a cure. Parts of the book are slow, but the back half picks up steam. There is some character development in this first book of unknown numbers, but the action takes center stage.

Although the book ends with the full story untold, it does have an ending. I'm sure Book Two picks up straight away for the finale.

Zombies, violence, sex, death, dystopian, plague, cure. Sounds interesting? Check it out. 4.4 of 5 Stars

From the Publisher:

Perhaps once in an epoch, events force evolution to take a giant leap and a life form arises that is aberrant to that from which it sprang. This process is known to science as Of Sudden Origin.

Call them zombies if you must; America, is at the mercy of a ruthless infection that devolves the intellect into that of a simian fiend. Horrible, yes, merciless, yes, blood thirsty, unquestionably - but it is the offspring of the infected who will change the world: The children of the Fiends are a mutant mind controlling abomination, and there is no defense against them.Jon Washington is one misstep from being torn apart, eaten alive or becoming a psychotic killer.

Broken down in a New Hampshire forest with millions of psychopathic Americans marching on his heals, he meets Nikki Rosen, a disgraced Marine. Together they will cross a crucible of challenges that has outwitted and killed the most resilient among us. In an effort to solve what is being called The Cain’s pandemic, a Hot Zone Team of CDC scientists backed by Special Forces will go to Florida.

Along the way they will stare into the the very face of evil. Happenstance combines these disparate groups into an explosive conclusion. Will any survive?.
