The Death and Life of Schneider Wrack, Volume 1 by Nate Crowley
3.0
If I were to review The Sea Hates A Coward by itself, I'd give it 4 stars. It's an excellent, tightly paced novella that turns the zombie story inside out.
The rest of it is good, but imo blows its ending.
I'm perfectly happy with ambivalent endings, don't get me wrong. But if the bones of your story are "get to this lost city to destroy the evil tech that lets ppl create zombies, and do it before the power mad Big Bad arrives to use that tech," well. Ending the story in the middle of the boss fight doesn't satisfy.
Worth reading anyway? Totally! Hoping he's not actually finished with this series? VERY MUCH SO.
