“My name is Tom Dexter. Some call me Tom Zombie. I contracted a virus – the Zombie virus they call it now; an epidemic with a deadly strain that’s creating killer zombies. This damn virus cost me my career, my family, and it’s gonna take my life. I was a Chicago police officer for 18 years, but when symptoms of my virus appeared they just fired my ass. Can’t have no zombie-lookin’ cops walkin’ around, now can we? Oh, I was no angel, but my partner was… (more)

I enjoyed the new and interesting concept of this story. It's not your typical zombie story. It sucked me in right away and I read it in one setting because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I hope the author has written the next installment as this one does end with a cliffhanger and a lot of questions unanswered. These next statements are for the author as he did ask for a constructive critique. There are a few grammatical errors in the book but nothing that detracted from the flow… (more)
I enjoyed the new and interesting concept of this story. It's not your typical zombie story. It sucked me in right away and I read it in one setting because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I hope the author has written the next installment as this one does end with a cliffhanger and a lot of questions unanswered. These next statements are for the author as he did ask for a constructive critique. There are a few grammatical errors in the book but nothing that detracted from the flow of the story. Some of the dialogue didn't read well (especially between the Captain and Tom). I imagine the author could hear the words in the character's voice as he wrote them but it didn't translate well onto the page. The overuse of ... in dialogue does detract from the flow of the story. I would have liked to see more character development with the main character but I can see the difficulty in this as it is a short story. One final tip, the link to your web page at the end of the book is misspelled (the t is missing from your last name).

I’m a huge zombie and horror fan in general and so I like to think I know a thing or two about the concept of zombie’s. It was indeed a page turner and had me gripped from the start. The story was left at a cliff hanger with a taster of what is to come and I can see this has a lot of potential. I’m really excited to read the next instalment when it is available.

The idea of a possible zombie agent for the military? Who knows… but it sounds pretty fantastic!
