Jane Harper sets sail with a crew for the North Atlantic. Something is happening to the whales there. The crew is going to find out what is happening and get a sample. Only the crew gets shipwrecked on an island in the Arctic. They are not alone. The draugr roam the island. The draugr are walking zombies.
I got really excited about reading this book even though I have never read the first one, The Sentinel. This book was a let down for me. It was slow going and not a lot of action. I was expecting to be kept on the edge of my seat with action. This did not happen. There was just a lot of dialect. Makes me think of the country song by Toby Keith “A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action”.
For this type of book I want just that…more action, horror, and for the characters to kick some major ass. If this does not happen than I don’t stick around for the end.

Enjoyable. A tad more comical than the first. Leaves the end open for another book so I really hope he does one at some point, would like to see the conclusion.

Bishop writes like a sarcastic woman, and we have his wife to thank for it according to the dedication! Thank you mrs. Bishop. Jane Harper might sometimes be TOO sarcastic and hot tempered, but that's how some people actually are. The writing is decent, the short chapters makes the book fly by, and to whomever said that the book didn't have action: did we even read the same book? Bishop paints some stunning images with his writing, without spoiling too much I would like to mention the dead whale, the floating island, the explosions and the Queen - all moments that made me really, REALLY want to watch this in movie-format. Definitely picking up book number three in the series! Bravo Bishop.

Mini-Review:
Great follow up to the first book. Lots of action, snarky humor and zombie whales. Zombies isn't an accurate description of the baddies in this series but it's good enough to catch a reader's interest. If you want a fun, quick story to pass the time, this will work just fine.
