This is not a zombie horror novel. Its a thriller novel about a presidential campaign beset by sabotage and terrorism told from the viewpoint of an on staff journalist/blogger. It just all happens to take place after the zombie apocalypse. And it's amazing. There's a lot of medical talk and explanations building how the zombies happened and how the world adjusted, but i found them fascinating and added a lot of depth and color to the world. And since the main character is a journalist, they never really felt out of place or unnecessary. An amazing book and i can't wait until the rest of the series comes in on inter library loan.
