Pockets of humanity fight to subsist in skeletal cities and apocalyptic wastelands. The walking dead are a part of a daily fight for survival and many of the living have gone mad.
Andre and Claire are part of a group struggling to rebuild America’s infrastructure. In their way stand not only the hungry dead, but a conspiracy of various factions determined to retain what power they have. In a saga blending intrigue and deception with survival horror, the last good men and women combat their own extinction.
THE STRANGE DEAD by David Dunwoody is a great story, but it's part of a series, which, had I known, I wouldn't have read it. This novel was published in 2016, and it's not looking like the sequel will ever be written. As if that isn't bad enough, the story ends with one hell of a cliffhanger.
At first, I didn't think the nano-zombies were very original, but the twist with Claire and her secret is genius! The shocker concerning Andre caught me completely off guard...I didn't realize how significant his character truly is. The mystery surrounding the shrike is somewhat irritating, but adds to the overall intensity of Claire's situation. Eli is a real bastard, and, as crazy as the Maestro is, Eli seems far more unstable.
I'd love to see what results Tavia achieves with her confession to her father, the general, but I'd settle for any kind of closure. I hope Dunwoody will release a follow-up someday soon!
As always,
