Welcome to Zombie Britannica.
My thoughts:
Zombie Britannica is an amazing read. :)
Mr. Emson has somewhat of a different take on the zombie lore - inasmuch as what causes the dead to rise.
Now I love me some zombies and I was happy as could be reading about the brain munching and leg chomping - but that is not all that Zombie Britannica is about.
This book is more about how the survivors deal with the unexpected attack.
Where some band together to help - others are out only for themselves. Still more set themselves up as judge, jury and executioner - of the humans they deem unworthy, as well as the undead running the streets. Others still, finally see the potential in themselves and rise to the occasion.
Many can't deal at all - and go mad.
I was riveted by Zombie Britannica and truly hope for a sequel.
I give Zombie Britannica 5 out of 5 stars. :)

Jeep Diva,
Thank you. :) I am a fan of the zombie apocalypse and this was a good one.
I love The Walking Dead tv show - and I am hoping that with it's success we'll get more authors writing about zombies.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
