I would take exception with Mathew that DBDA is more about the struggle for retaining humanity than action and read it as a simple, straight, exciting survivalist fantasy. I suspect the Zombies stand in for commies, al qaeda, pinkoes, gays and Hillary Clinton in Bourne's world, but this is what escapist fiction is good for. And what's not to like about a boy's own adventure in the land of the undead? Is there a sequel due?

Just a fun read by a great guy who walks the walk. I associate online with both the author and shep" who are both good guys and loved the book before i knew either. Go buy 2 copies today.
