What' s Zombies Fear (Book 1): A Father's Quest turned out to be pretty darn fun. Yes, there is deus ex in action of a small boy with key characters developing super-human abilities as they fight off massive hordes of slow, and not so slow zombies. The tale is simple, in that a father is protecting his son and traveling to his family farm in hope of finding food, shelter, and security. Along the way he finds out that some zombies are super-zombies with speed, strength, and intelligence. Luckily, some humans, after bitten, don't turn into zombies; but rather super humans joining the fight for survival. There is plenty of action to keep the pace flowing. Characters begin some development, but keep in mind this is book one in a series. I've had this for awhile, but shelved it to take a break from zombie books. I'm glad I picked it up again. There are minimal editing errors (wrong words (fresh v flesh, etc).
4 of 5 stars. From the Publisher:
When Victor Tookes went to work that beautiful spring day, he never expected to see a man eaten alive in the street in front of his office. After convincing himself that they really were zombies, he makes a trip from his house in Pennsylvania to his family home in Virginia, battling zombies all the way. His three and a half year old son was bitten on the leg, but doesn't turn into a zombie. Instead, he turns into something more than human. Victor quickly discovers that everything he knew about zombies was wrong. Not all of them were mindless, uncoordinated, rotting ghouls; some of them were bigger, faster, stronger or smarter than when they were human. A small percentage of humans are genetically immune to the parasite. Instead of turning these humans into mindless shamblers, they gain enhanced abilities. These new abilities will be pushed to their limits in their quest to carve out a safe haven to call home. How will he keep his son safe when the world crumbles around him?
