Review of I Zombie I by Jack Walden

I Zombie I.

By Jack Wallen

Four stars.

 Zombies, The end of the world, Nazi plots and crazy scientists make this book a real helter skelter tide. If you like Zombies you’ll love this.

         Jacob, our hero, is a reporter that survives the end of humanity. He is unfortunately bitten by one of the undead and chronicles himself turning into a zombie. All the time desperate to find a cure and falling in love with another, amazingly good looking survivor, Bethany.

         The book is an excellent read, I have some issues; the escape from the underground bunker was, well impossible, Oh look a door to the outside world. Also, I was left wondering how the zombies were at one point ultra intelligent in discovering the bunker and at others like dead meat?

         These minor faults, I can ignore and recommend this excellent read to any horror, zombie terror book fans.

I am looking forward to the sequel.

Zombies, gore and more.

Hollowland by Amanda Hocking.

Reviewed by Jeremy Poole.

5 stars.

                This is where indie books really come into their own; we all remember the B-horror movies of Zombies, with their wobbly scenery, plastic actors and gore. How I loved them. This is the book equivalent, without the wobbly scenery.

                Remy, our hero, a Buffy type with no super powers, sets out to find her missing brother and splat some zombies, perverts and marauders on the way. She doesn’t want to save the last of mankind, after a rabies type virus has wiped out, or turned the last of humanity into zombies. She’s just after her little brother. He happens to be the only immune person to the disease.

                This book reads like the best comic strips, with cliché after cliché, Remy even gets a pet lion. Despite, or because of this I loved it. This book hasn’t been destroyed by editors giving us what we want, it gives us what the writer wants and that’s just fine by me. I read it in a couple of sittings. The climax of the book can only be described as marvellous and unexpected. I can’t wait to read the next instalment.

                A must have, and it’s free!!!!

Empire: In Her Name

 Empire: In Her Name

By Michael Hicks

                I read this book whilst cooking, walking to work and lying in bed, it was unputdownable.

                I have to say I was a little doubtful as to the book before I started. I’m not a Sci-fi fan and that’s the point really, this isn’t a sci-fi book. It’s fantasy, sci-fi, action and some romance all in one. It was a whole book for sure, even though it’s the first part of a trilogy.

                The main character of Reza has the worst of all upbringings, parents killed, slavery and abducted by the Kreelans (Alien, blue, female warriors). He then becomes one of them and…

I won’t give away the story. You must read it.

The writing is excellent and the characters are so well written, you really feel for them, and the alien world is anything but alien.

This one is five stars and will get a second read off me in the future and for sure I’ll be purchasing the rest of the trilogy.
