The Down Home Zombie Blues by Linnea Sinclair
2.0
The title just wasn't a good match for the book. There were far fewer zombies or blues than I was expecting, but far more unnecessary greek and plot complications.
I was ok with the whole space-ship-comes-to-earth thing. I was even down with the zombies-are-semi-sentient-robots. Then there was dark hints from the past, and spacing, and characters I just couldn't get excited about, and more complications, and is-he-a-backstabbing-traitor, and what-was-that-with-the-tech-again?
There were fun little star trek asides, and I enjoyed the leads for the most part. The book just kept meandering around the main plot until I lost track of what I was supposed to care about.
