Historia
In the aftermath of the zombie pandemic Keith Taylor, noted pre-war author of post-apocalyptic fiction, traveled the world to interview survivors from every walk of life, culture and stratum of society, ranging from American political leaders to Scottish oil rig workers, from Mongolian miners to members of India's homeless underclass, each with their own tale of survival against an enemy that feels no remorse, fatigue, fear or mercy; only insatiable hunger.

There are 3 characters in this whole thing
Revisado: 06-23-23
Now I don't mean that there are only 3 people in the book, there are way more than 3 people. But there are only 3 actual characters from which all of those people clone and just add a new name too. This thing reads like average fan fiction, like archiveofourown fan fiction. It is ponderous, meandre, overly thomatic, repetitive, and predictable to the point that you can actually talk along with the narrative in lockstep without thinking. It reads like the author just so desperately wanted to get Max Brooks's attention, But without being able to deliver any of the actual believability of world war z' "world". It just feels like there's a colossal amount hole in the plot's timeline. A full 5/6s of this thing is spent going over man's inhumanity to man and how we were so unprepared and how our modern military was just so unknown up to the task ( without actually really explaining how or why), And then in the last hour of the book it's just like "And then these 2 people figured out a way to stop it, the end".
And don't even get me started on the survivalist wankfest in the middle, or how the narrator doesn't seem to be able to do accents and then just gives up halfway through the book, at the end there's a character who's supposed to be Irish who sounds like she lives right across the street for me here in Georgia. Is the endless eye rolling cringing nerd references, the weird defense of Donald Trump for some reason ( which actually becomes kind of hilarious and hind sight but whatever) And yeah this thing kind of sucks.

Historia
1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artifacts - coins, fragments of glass, human bones - which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death? Fairfax becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes - about himself, his faith, and the history of his world - will be tested to destruction.
