Apocalypse Z: The Wrath Of The Just

DESCRIPTION:

This is the third and final book in the Apocalypse Z saga. The action picks up exactly where Dark Days left off, the same group of survivors - a young Spanish lawyer, the beautiful woman he loves, his cat Lucullus, and the lawyer's brash, battle-hardened best friend, Pritchenko - continue their search for sanctuary in a world overrun with Zombies. They think they have stumbled across that Promised Land in Gulfport, Mississippi but the clean and pleasant living is a mirage, the new civilization held in the iron grip of a fascist dictator and his brutal enforcers. However, the rule of that dictator is about to be challenged - vengeful rebels plot his downfall from within and outside invaders, bent on conquest, draw terrible plans of their own.

MY VERDICT:

This was a decent read that I enjoyed so much more than the mediocre second entry in the Apocalypse Z series. The book is very narrative driven, telling a story of how people can exploit the undead plague to further their own goals, making for some interesting right versus wrong conundrums. I also enjoyed how the book showed that the outside invaders, who I will not mention in order to avoid spoilers, continue in their stubborn beliefs in the betterment of themselves and their culture, the apocalypse caused by the undead changing nothing. Despite this, I still did not enjoy reading as much as I did book 1 - a more personal account of one man's struggle to survive in an undead-infested world - this novel often getting carried away with human scheming and infighting. However, The Wrath of the Just is a worthy conclusion to a landmark trilogy.
