Yes it’s huge – over 700 absolutely beautifully written pages huge! I don’t generally go for the ‘undead’ genre but this one cannot be ignored. A security error sets an unprecedented military experiment on the world. We brought it upon ourselves. We created the virus and the zombies it spawned. We created Amy, too, but we don’t know what she will do. Humans are doomed – or are they? Will Amy be the answer to the end of the horror? And how can she end it? She’s only one little girl. This is an amazing book. I don’t care what you generally like to read. It’s addictive and you immediately forget how heavy it felt when you first picked it up.
