After the Cure
This isn’t your typical zombie apocalypse as there’s a cure for the zombie condition and a lot of immune people who are rebuilding society. In fact, they’ve captured the scientists they believe started the zombie plague. It’s up to Dr. Nella Reider, the court- appointed psychiatrist to decide if the defendants are mentally able to stand trial. While interviewing them, she and the defense lawyer discover clues that lead to other conspirators and a second planned outbreak (which they’ve got to stop.)
Exciting, but what made this story for me was the likable ex-zombies, who gave their take on their zombie history and then went on to rebuild their lives and to play major roles in the story’s action.
If you want to see a zombie outbreak from the zombie’s point of view, or if you’ve ever wanted to envision what might happen as society rebuilds after it collapses, this novel is worth checking out.
