Zombies that understand, follow orders, some live underground and others (made-made hybrids)on army bases...both hordes are ruled by "Queens". The Chinese are attempting to take over the world peacefully, promising safety from the zombies and food to those who join their ranks. Once signed up, these people are enslaved and forced to work unreasonable hours in the fields to grow and harvest crops that are sent to feed the Chinese population. Alice and her group of zombies team up with former special forces soldiers and other surviving humans in a fight to push out the Chinese in parts of India. Then upon successfully gaining their freedom, the humans and zombies begin living side by side in in one of the larger cities. The soldiers and Alice provide security for the city and its occupants; skirmishes continue with outsiders and Chinese soldiers who continue to conquer this group. Hell, I even became fond of certain zombies and felt a loss when they are killed for good. It doesn't take long before the citizens become complacent during this "peacetime"; they soon elect a governing body and vote to exile Queen Alice and her zombies from the city. The new Prime Minister, a former politician before the apocalypse, accepts the Chinese proposal on behalf of his constituents - buying in to their guise of protection and food. Little do these people know that the Chinese had put a plan in motion months earlier and everything was now proceeding according to plan. Alice begins to uncover evidence that exposes this devious plan. The populace will soon be enslaved unless Alice and her zombie horde can return and convince them not to give in. The Chinese are moments away from a peaceful takeover. Will Alice and her followers arrive in time? Will there be another war? The third book of the trilogy helps to fill in many of the blanks remaining from the first two books - many of the characters are fleshed out here - providing "AH HA" moments for readers having read the first two installments. Still, I would caution readers to not read that last installment until finishing the first two...more fun that way! As I mentioned in my review of the first book, Alice in Deadland, the author should have taken time to get his work edited prior to publication as many typos, missing or misused words are used. I am disappointed to see these errors continue in the authors succeeding works...ratings could have been much higher. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story and recommend it to those of you who enjoy a different kind of zombie story, filled with twists and turns.

Alice in Deadland was released in November 2011 and quickly became an Amazon.com bestseller, selling more than 50,000 copies in its first three months. It was followed by its sequel, 'Through The Looking Glass' and 'Off With Their Heads', the prequel to Alice in Deadland. Now, get all three of the first novels in the Alice in Deadland Trilogy in one single omnibus edition and immerse yourself in this bestselling adventure.Civilization as we know it ended more than fifteen years ago, leaving as it's legacy barren wastelands called the Deadland and a new terror for the humans who survived- hordes of undead Biters. Fifteen year-old Alice has spent her entire life in the Deadland, her education consisting of how best to use guns and knives in the ongoing war for survival against the Biters. One day, Alice spots a Biter disappearing into a hole in the ground and follows it, in search of fabled underground Biter bases. What Alice discovers there propels her into an action-packed adventure that changes her life and that of all humans in the Deadland forever. An adventure where she learns the terrible conspiracy behind the ruin of humanity, the truth behind the origin of the Biters, and the prophecy the mysterious Biter Queen believes Alice is destined to fulfill. A prophecy based on the charred remains of the last book in the Deadland- a book called Alice in Wonderland. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Now, I love YA, but I have to tell you, when the fate of the world falls upon the shoulders of a fifteen year old, I find issues. But I've gone off on such tangents before, so I'll not repeat myself. I can say that outside of said issue, I enjoyed this series, but grew frustrated. It carried a herky-jerky feel from time to time, like the repetitiveness of Alice's thoughts. She was constantly going over the same things- other characters too. It's like the author needed to excessively remind us what was going on. Or the story would speed to the point I was just told things instead of explained. The details disappeared and something would just happen- you know how that is. It just threw me off and I was left a tad confused.
There was also an unreal amount of grammatical errors. So much that I almost quit the books. Errors like these are hard to overlook, and can deter a reader from returning to the author. And the errors were in both the ebook and physical book...
