" Keene's novel ramps the zombie genre up a couple of notches, much as Skipp & Spector's work did for the rest of the horror genre in the 80's. This is a fast-paced adventure with some characters that start out as not especially likeable or distinct that evolve admirably by the end. The ending is the only quibble I have with the book; it just kind of stops without a resolution, so you have to go find the sequel, CITY OF THE DEAD, to get closure. "
