The book is a zombie, dystopian one looking at various character threads as the world (modern suburban Britain) collapses around them. The narrative is threaded with philosophy and ideas to make the reader think. Whether it be morality, humanity, consciousness or religion, everything is fair game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So far, early reviews have been great:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA frightening and credible zombie apocalypse.
