Book Reviews of Down the Road: A Zombie Horror Story (Special Edition)
Book Review: One heck of a ride
Summary: 5 Stars
George Zaragoza's world is collapsing. A Plaque is sweeping the country. The Dead are rising and they are attacking and devouring the living. The Government is trying to contain it but with no success. Civilians are taking up arms and banding together in hopes of surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. George is going to try to make it home, but it wont be easy. he will have to fight his way through a world gone crazy. Remnants of the Federal Government, and Military. Militia's with their own agenda's, and thousands of flesh hungry dead.
Down the Road is set in the George Romero Zombie world. Society is collapsing. The government is trying to get things back in order by using a Iron Fist. America has become a huge War Zone. People are killing one another causing the numbers of the Dead to swell. The situation soon becomes hopeless. I am a sucker for a good Zombie Story and Down the Road did not disappoint. I could not put it down. The Zombies are described in great detail, and the Kills are very VERY graphic, but that is what you want in a good Zombie story. Bowie doesn't pull any punches. Down the Road isn't for the squeamish. I think the thing that I loved the most is how Bowie described just how ineffective FEMA would be in a major disaster. Down the Road was written before Hurricane Katrina and it is almost eerie how accurate he was. The only complaint I have is I wish it had been longer. I thought that some of the scenes were a little to rushed. I think that this book could have been a lot longer.
I recommend Down the Road to anyone who loves a good Zombie story. It is a great debut for Mr Ibarra, and I hope this isn't the last Zombie story we get from him.
Summary of Down the Road: A Zombie Horror Story (Special Edition)
A bizarre plague of the walking dead. A nation desperate for survival. It could be the end of the world. Around the globe, the dead are rising to devour the living. Hospitals are overrun, and martial law has been declared. The streets are in chaos. Society is disintegrating. George Zaragosa is a young school teacher living in the shadow of his fiancée's unsolved murder. Now he just wants to go home to his family. He's made the journey before, traveling from Austin to San Uvalde. It's usually a short drive. But he knows this time it's going to be different. Along the way, George must negotiate military roadblocks, FEMA camps, and street thugs, not to mention hordes of the living dead. He is determined to make it home, but only one thing is certain: his trip down the road will be a journey like no other.Horror Books
