Book Reviews of Plague of the Dead (The Morningstar Strain)
Book Review: One of the Best Zombie books I have read
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a new reader to this writer. I highly recommend you purchase from this Author. I was surprised to find the style of journal slash, email story very easy to follow. This is the first time I have read a style like this. And to the Point the story is amazing. It jumps between characters quite a bit but does not leave you in the dark. It paints a large picture of the disaster taking place. There is plenty of action for you non reader types and a very tangiable level of fear through out. I enjoyed this book very much. I am a harsh judge of books as I have had the privilage to read so many great books so I know a good one when I get my hands on one. I would recommend that you buy this book. Of the last 25 books I have purchased and read in the last 3 months this one is the most entertaining. The elements of realism that the author describes morninstar strain make you feel that you are at ground zero, desperate and fighting flesh eating monsters all around. Amazing read. Let the horror never end 5 stars!Book Review: I've read them all and this is one of my FAVORITES!

I like to consider myself a zombie connoisseur, having read and watched everything even remotely zombie on the market, and this is seriously one of the best zombie series out there! Z.A. Recht gives you quick zombies as well as slow zombies, and unlike most authors in the genre, he provides a rather feasible explaination for the plague. I feel that often in these novels, character depth is ommitted as authors try to jump right into the action, infusing their novels with cheesy over-used characters that they hope readers will 'buy'. Z.A. Recht masterfully writes from the perspectives of multiple characters throughout these novels and allows each person to grow at their own pace as well.
I never read through books so quickly as I've gone through the first two books of this series....and believe me, I've reread them each multiple (5+) times. If you're looking for a well written, thoughtful, and fast-paced zombie series, you should start reading this series now!!!
Book Review: Best Zombie Series I've Ever Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I've become a huge fan of the zombie genre in the past year. I read alot of horror and crime novels. Of all the zombie books I read, this one blew me away. I was a little put off at first by the infected having the "rage," but Recht totally pulled it off. This book (and the series for that matter) has it all--- guns blazing, zombies attacking, suspense lurking... Recht doesn't sacrifice character development for the sake of action. I got to know all the characters really well, and it prompted me to get the next book. Put aside your knowledge of biological and geographical facts, because it is slightly askew at times in this novel, but I guarantee that you will enjoy it.
You might as well get the second book, too. You'll want to read it! I can't wait for the third book!
Book Review: One of the best Zombie books out there!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been on a zombie kick the last few months, and have read a good majority of the zombie books out there. This one kept me turning the pages and was very hard to put down. If you liked Night of the Living Dead, or 28 Days you will enjoy this one. It doesnt have talking zombie which I personally hate more than anything. This is a Zombie story.... I need to say that again. It bugs me when I read reviews with people complaining about how the book was written blah blah it for what it is.... ITS A ZOMBIE BOOK!!!!!
The book ends on a cliffhanger, which I really hate because I am not a patient person. I cannot wait for the next part in the saga!!!
Again, if you love Romero and his zombies you will get a kick out of this one!
Book Review: Great zombie read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the free online serial of this novel and was struck by how professional the story was. I am very happy to see the author make the leap to published work and wish him much luck and success. The book is well written with a fairly unique explanation for the cause of the rising dead. Unlike other stories in the genre, the author goes into some detail as to how such a thing could happen, and it is nearly believable. The characters are well written and I found myself liking and disliking the appropriate characters. Anyone that enjoys zombie novels and stories will love this book. Anyone that has never read a zombie novel will still find the story, characters and plotlines very entertaining.
