Zero Day
by Bobby Adair
I'm giving this 3 stars, but it deserves more. I'll tell you why...
Firstly, I picked this up because I was tired yesterday and fancied some light reading, something I wouldn't need to concentrate too hard on. Yes, I was hungover.
The story starts off like your usual zombie-end-of-world story with a breakout of some unknown disease. The only difference is that some people are immune, they Slow Burn rather than go full-blown zombie.
The beginning of this short book is annoying. There are too many typos and even missing words in the story. Especially nearer the beginning. Plus the story starts off being written quite poorly compared to it towards the mid-to-end section of the book. It's like this was the author's first attempt at a novel (I believe it wasn't) and as he progressed his tradecraft improved. By the time I got to midway, the writing was fluent and succinct, like I like, and the story was rolling along nicely.
So I'd give the first half 3 stars, the latter half 4 stars. I should give the whole book 3.5 stars really, but sometimes like sucks.
There are 5 books in the series. Will I read another? I'm sure I will.
