While the premise of this book is really good and entertaining and it starts off really well with some well constructed tension, it doesn't quite manage to maintain that and there are some things that just don't make sense (a CIA agent undercover as a doctor with absolutely no medical skills, not even basic first aid).  Don't get me wrong, I was entertained by this but it was best read with my brain switched off so I just enjoyed the comedy horror, the idea of zombie dinosaurs, mutating zombie people, and of course the greedy oligarch looking to take advantage.  I will be digging out the next book in the series just for a bit of light relief more than anything.  If you like an easy black horror comedy style thing you will probably enjoy this to some degree.
