Oh, and I was actively put-off by the very un-subtle dig at the end when we are informed that the new society of survivors re-started the education system without that 'diluted curriculum' of the pre-apocalypse: I suppose this means that now men can learn to be men, and women learn to service those men. This one was confused, scattered, and ended very conveniently. Maybe it was meant to be freshly discovered by the main character? (well, that would require us knowing which was the main character I suppose - there was equal time spent inside several different characters).Īnyway, it was a great disappointment considering book 1 was one of my top 10 zombie books and book 2 was okay. that there would be some 'great conspiracy' that was just tacked on all of a sudden. What I didn't know was that the author would splinter the perspective between at least 3 different groups, jump from one character's head to another within the same page, and add in characters with no real purpose (i.e. switched from journal entry style to typical 3rd person narration.

I knew going in that it was a different perspective than the first two books in the series. To use one of the author’s favorite words, I am hoping this “anomaly” changes before I read the fourth book. There was a lot of story to be covered in this book and it actually comes across rather rushed, I enjoy a fast paced story, but the speed in this one was breathtaking, giving one the impression that the author had lost interest in the story and just wanted to finish it. Hopefully this fourth book will give us a more definite ending and will concentrate more on the original main character’s survival plans. I believe this was meant to be the final book in the trilogy, but there now has been a fourth book added. Top secret government conspiracies in the form of the shadowy group, calling itself Remote Six play a part in this story as well. The story jumps around from a US aircraft carrier, a US nuclear submarine, a remote scientific lab in the Arctic and the nuclear silo in Texas called Hotel 23 that was the setting for most of book number two. The world has fallen to the walking undead but there are a few remnants of mankind left. The main difference was that the first two were written in first person as journal entries and this one was in third person and jumped around between a number of groups so not as concentrated on one person’s survival tactics. I loved both the first two books but found this third entry didn’t hold my attention quite as well.

Bourne is the third book in his zombie apocalypse story.
