" The Dead " By Charlie Higson.

This awesome book is a prequel to the deadly, " The Enemy". This story is truly an even of bravery and survival. It's Darwinian laws put to the test. Only now it involves inputting Humans into the equation. Filled with malicious zombies, heartbreaking sequences, and bloody massacres, this book is a riot. It is truly amazing on how the human spirit can survive. " The Dead" tells the story of groups of schoolboys on their trip to survive. Along the way they meet strange adults, strange leaders and death. Anyone over 16 is viewed as the " sickos". The sickness takes hold of one of them causing an insight to what they are really fighting for. If your over 16 you probably will turn into a flesh eating, bone crunching zombie. Fear escalates as the group finds themselves in the worst possible situation, A zombie horde the size of an army. The ending is quite surprising. Don't want to ruin it, but I will say this. The end of one book reflects another.

Exotix rating 5/5
