Short
Summary of the book:
This is an alternative zombie story. The
concept is quite interesting and enjoyable. A virus plays havoc on the
population turning everyone into zombies. The only people immune to the virus
are the spice zombies. They are also overlooked by those who turned into
zombies. Add some zombie animals and a tyrannical general and suddenly the
spice zombies turn into the heroes.
What
I liked about the book:
I enjoyed the entire book
What
I didn’t like about the book:
Unfortunately, the book requires some further
editing.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The alternative hero scenes. Who could have
thought those outcast by society would be the saviours of the world?
My
least favourite bits in the book:
I believe the author is still developing in
his writing. All I can say is to keep writing and your work will improve further.
The idea was great and novel.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This appears to be the second book by this
author.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This book is novel as it combines spice zombies
with real zombies and puts the unlikely in the hero role.

Description by Author:
Trainspotting meets Shawn of the Dead, in a
drug and alcohol fueled crash through a zombie apocalypse, oddly it turned out
the only people who can survive a zombie apocalypse, are spice zombies.
A squad of spice zombies must use their
immunity to the pandemic that's turning everyone into real zombies, to save the
last of humanity.
Will the lowest of society forgive the way
they have been treated and save the people who look down on them, or will they
just get smashed on the free drugs and booze?
About
the Author:
Simon
carr is, well he is me, hello, compleatly inept at writing bio's in a third
person, simon was born in Darwin in the north of england and lives in the
paradise that is known only as Blackburn, he, oh stuff that, I write satirical
comedy science fiction, if that's even a genre, I'm not sure but it's all going
very well, nobody's held a book burning protest to my exsistance yet anyway.
My
first book, Space and Stuff earned me a finalists place in the 2020 page turner
eBook awards and gained a four star reveiw with onlinebookclub so that was
cool, my influences all come from pop culture in sci-fi I'm a huge fan of
Douglas Adams and the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, I'm also a big doctor
who fan, and I'm a huge fan of Monty python, you mix all that together and it's
pretty much what I throw into my books, I'm late to the party as I'm severly
dyslexic but nothing a very good and vastly underpaid proofreader cant fix, my
writing exploits were made possible by blue light filter glasses and fivver.
