Una agresiva enfermedad ha acabado con el noventa y nueve por ciento de la población mundial y ha transformado la faz del planeta. Un pequeño grupo de supervivientes encuentra refugio entre las ruinas de una ciudad devastada. Sobreviven entre los escombros, aterrorizados por los efectos que la horrible infección tiene en los cuerpos de los muertos. La repentina aparición de una compañía de soldados vuelve a amenazar la frágil existencia de los supervivientes. ¿Traerán con ellos esperanza, ayuda y respuestas, o tan sólo más miedo y sufrimiento?

Autumn: The City - David Moody ****

The second book in the Autumn series follows on from where the first left off, however we are now introduced to a lot more of the survivors. In the first Autumn book the world has ground to a standstill following a disease that has killed 99.9% of the population, only for their decaying corpses to rise a few days later. Attracted by sound the cadavers group together in an attempt to reach survivors, however these aren’t the typical flesh craving Zombies, but are just as lethal due to their combined mass of numbers.

Once again, survivors have been finding each other and holing themselves up in apparently ‘safe’ buildings, we meet a number of varied new characters and learn of how they came to be where they are. A brilliant mismatch of all walks of life has been spared and obviously under the circumstances a lot of arguments and conflict arise. Deep underground there is a bunker where the army have been waiting since the first inception of the disease, unaware of what has happened above ground they venture out for a first look at the new world. The other survivors must choose between staying put in relative safety or seeking outside help, but will that help be forthcoming?

I suppose this could be read as a standalone novel, but I would recommend reading the first in the series for a lot more background information. Once again, if you are looking for a really well written and meaningful book, then this probably isn’t for you. At times the speech is a little wooden and repetitive and sometimes the characters actions are a little unbelievable (the Motorhome scene with Michael & Emma anyone?)But... if you want some fairly mindless zombie fun with a decent amount of tension, then give the series a try. I have just ordered the next book and already looking forward to it. ( )

Autumn: The City by David Moody is the story of a small group of survivors after a deadly disease has infected the majority of the world's population. After an almost instantaneous death, people lay wherever they happened to fall. The few immune survivors huddled together and existed in total shock. But after two days things started to change. Some of the dead became reanimated, and then a day or so later these dead creatures appeared to be attracted to the living. At first the dead are mere husks but as time goes by they appear to be getting stronger.

This is the second book in David Moody's Autumn series and this volume tells a separate story from the first. The main characters from the first book eventually make an appearance, but not until partway through. This series takes a slightly different look at "zombies", as these dead creatures do not seem to want to rip humans apart and eat their flesh as much as they seem
to need to be near the living. Whether they are reaching out for help or in anger, they are dangerous as people can be crushed or smothered by their sheer numbers.

As this is the second book, there is still plenty of story left to be told, and I am interested in finding out what happens next. ( )

A follow up to Autumn that continues the series. Another hard-to-put-down story in which a handful of survivors struggle against overwhelming numbers of living dead. I'm a fan and can't wait to get my hands on the next installment. ( )
