Short Summary of the book:

This is an alternative zombie story. The concept is quite interesting and enjoyable. A virus plays havoc on the population turning everyone into zombies. The only people immune to the virus are the spice zombies. They are also overlooked by those who turned into zombies. Add some zombie animals and a tyrannical general and suddenly the spice zombies turn into the heroes.

What I liked about the book:

I enjoyed the entire book

What I didn’t like about the book:

Unfortunately, the book requires some further editing.

My favourite bits in the book:

The alternative hero scenes. Who could have thought those outcast by society would be the saviours of the world?

My least favourite bits in the book:

I believe the author is still developing in his writing. All I can say is to keep writing and your work will improve further. The idea was great and novel.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This appears to be the second book by this author.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book is novel as it combines spice zombies with real zombies and puts the unlikely in the hero role.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Yes

Adult Yes

If you like zombie stories with a twist, this book may be the book for you.

Book Description by Author:

A squad of spice zombies must use their immunity to the pandemic that's turning everyone into real zombies, to save the last of humanity.

Will the lowest of society forgive the way they have been treated and save the people who look down on them, or will they just get smashed on the free drugs and booze?

About the Author:

Simon carr is, well he is me, hello, compleatly inept at writing bio's in a third person, simon was born in Darwin in the north of england and lives in the paradise that is known only as Blackburn, he, oh stuff that, I write satirical comedy science fiction, if that's even a genre, I'm not sure but it's all going very well, nobody's held a book burning protest to my exsistance yet anyway.

My first book, Space and Stuff earned me a finalists place in the 2020 page turner eBook awards and gained a four star reveiw with onlinebookclub so that was cool, my influences all come from pop culture in sci-fi I'm a huge fan of Douglas Adams and the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, I'm also a big doctor who fan, and I'm a huge fan of Monty python, you mix all that together and it's pretty much what I throw into my books, I'm late to the party as I'm severly dyslexic but nothing a very good and vastly underpaid proofreader cant fix, my writing exploits were made possible by blue light filter glasses and fivver.
