Plague Zone by David Wellington


Plague Zone
I am a big fan of David Wellington. Thoroughly enjoyed his Overwinter series and the Monster Island series as well as having more on my TBR. However, this was a disappointment.

The main character, Tim, is a librarian from Seattle. He was in Chicago attending a conference and about to get it on with another librarian when he sees a news report of a plague outbreak in Seattle. This plague turns the infected into zombie and one of the zombies (a repairman named Phil that Tim knows) is shown on the newscast attacking and killing Tim’s family. This starts Tim on his path for revenge with the intent of killing the zombie that killed his family.

The plot is absurd and the characters are over-the-top (especially the gang Tim meets). Adding to the misery is the bad editing of the ebook I read. I didn’t hate the book so it didn’t get only 1 star but it was not good enough to be considered ok and get a 2-star rating.

Rating: 1.5 stars
