This was pretty good. I love that they aren't true zombies. They can call to each other and seem to have some cognitive abilities. The series sounds exciting.
It is true though that the hero Is a little high on himself. He can do and teach everything.

Slow beginning, confusing start. Action picked up over time, not sure if I will continue the series.

There is a good story hidden within, but this book and probably series requires an editor who is non military. This novel seemed it was written as though the author was worried an old army buddy would call him out on some minuscule procedure being done incorrectly.

This is actually a good story. Unusual, vivid, and with a different set of priorities than most zombie tales. It’s very detailed. The only problem is that the writing lingers over everything. At best it’s thoughtful; at worst it’s extremely slow except when winding up to action scenes (which compared to normal action scenes are also slow, but they seem fast compared to the rest of this book). It also sometimes makes the main character seem a little slow-witted, which doesn’t match his occasional very dry fits of humor.
There are places in this zombie world that don’t have hundreds of zombies crawling around (presumably due to the original high death rate from the flu itself). It’s a nice change from the standard story.
Especially considering the slow pace, there are far too many flashbacks in here, to things that are not necessary for us to know. (At some point I started going, “oh no, not another one!”)
I enjoyed the story enough to find it worth sitting through the slow parts, but only barely. If you have a short attention span, this isn’t the book for you.
