Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I am disappointed that a book about zombies, politics and technoblogging culture was so thoroughly meh. The book ends, ostensibly, on a cliffhanger after a series of dramatic, though predictable, turns and I find that I do not care at all about what happens next. Not only that, but looking back, I don't much care about the dramatic, though predictable, turns. I want to like Grant, since I assume she's a fellow Firefly fan and her character Shaun is clearly a younger stand-in for Malcolm Reynolds. But just no. This is a book I could have written in my ficcing days if, like her, I were alone all the time with cats and a bunch of virology textbooks and a constant, low-level thrum of "take this set of tropes and bring it back to Earth in the somewhat current." Oh well. I gave it a shot!
