A review by erin_penn
Z-Burbia by Jake Bible
5.0
The author styles himself as a modern pulp-writer, putting out about a dozen action-pack stories a year. Quick, strong, gory, exciting, explosive, non-stop action. The opening part of the book does warn there will be gore, which if you are reading a zombie apocalypse book should not be a shock. Mr. Bible delivers all these.
BUT he also delivers believable characters with different reasons for doing what they do. A developing political structure rising out of the ashes of civilization - from the Home-Owners Association tyrant to the constant battle between urban-and-rural. Big battles and little battles - zombies being weaponized, and parents raising kids in the Z-hellscape to be responsible adults. The layers take this book to the next level.
The Z-Burbia series is 7 books long so far, and book 7 features Elsbeth (the awesome kicking cannibal savant first introduced in this book).
