When your immediate reaction on finishing part one in a series is to download part 2 and start reading straight away, you've got to give the book at least 4.5 stars, haven't you? Shame it's not out yet!
I've read most of Frank Tayell's version of this story set in England, and in this sub-series we meet again the character of Sholto, alias Tom Clemens (alias various other names), with whom Bill Wright from England made contact in Book 1 of Surviving the Evacuation.
Tom's life is in tatters following the partial uncovering of a conspiracy against - well, the whole world, really, and he's a wanted man. Then the virus is unleashed, and all around is mayhem. He escapes New York with a woman called Helena, and together they flee north, avoiding zombies and various people who want to kill them as they go. They're not as expert at dealing with their new situation as I would have expected; don't these people watch The Walking Dead??! But they're learning....
I wasn't sure about the book at first, as it seemed a little rushed and in need of tidying up, but it gets better and better as it goes along, and by the last third I was completely engrossed and eagerly await more. Highly recommended, if you like well-written zombie apocalypse series that have more behind them than just some unexplained virus, and are not too heavy on the goo and gore.
