Publisher Description
From Darren Shan, the Master of Horror, comes the gripping second book in the Zom-B series.
Waking up in a military complex, months after zombies attacked school, B has no memory of the last few months. Life in the UK has turned tough since the outbreak, and B is woven into life- and battle- in the new military regime quickly. But as B learns more about the zombies held in the complex and the scientists keeping them captive, unease settles in. Why exactly was B saved? And is there anyone left in the world to trust?

"Book two of this series was much better than book one. I'm still not sure why all the racist stuff had to be in book one, but B definitely repents in book two and evolves as a character. Not sure where this series is going, but I think I want to keep up :)"
— Tori (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Shan executes the transition from normalcy to wholesale terror masterfully.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“A raw and deeply observant tale.”
— Booklist -
“Shan packs in the bites, and he rips out enough entrails for even the most jaded zombie fan; the cliffhanger ending…closes on just the right note to leave the audience gnawing for more.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
A raw and deeply observant tale of a morally questionable kid trying, and usually failing, to move beyond the ingrained racism instilled by B's father. It is a brave move by Shan to posit such a bigoted hooligan as our protagonist.

" Arrrrgggghh!!! Cannot form complete sentences. More later. "
— Keelee, 1/29/2014 -
" Not your typical zombie book. Maybe that's why I only gave it 2 stars. "
— Carole, 1/25/2014 -
" Big fan of Darren Shan, but not of this series unfortunately (though I will likely still read them all for completions sake). "
— Julie, 1/21/2014 -
" Oh. My. Gods. I am becoming more and more impressed by this series. Just wow. Give me the next one asap. "
— A.G, 1/20/2014 -
" It's an ok story so far; not nearly as engaging for me as the Cirque du Freak series was. Also, since I teach 6th grade, the language, violence, and mild sexual innuendo was a little intense to recommend to my students. "
— Curtis, 12/17/2013 -
" After the first one I did not think this would be how it would end up like. My memory is a little foggy but from what I remember the ending was kind of a let down for me, I thought they would have to go live in the sewers or something but 'Dat plot twist! "
— Raven, 11/27/2013 -
" Gripping, intriguing, fast paced and sure to thrill. Shan retains his crown as master of teen horror. "
— Daniel, 11/26/2013 -
" The series is becoming gimicky and not turning out the way I expected it. I really think Shan should rethink the number of books he's producing for this series. "
— Titus214, 11/13/2013 -
" 4.5. I was so freaked that B was killed in book one that I wasn't sure how I'd like book two. well, I loved it. You've gotta read this series! "
— Shannon, 11/9/2013 -
" Pretty gruesome, very short. Each book reads like a single TV episode. An interesting take on the zombie idea. I'll probably read #3 when it comes out. "
— Brian, 9/27/2013 -
" a thrilling and gory book not exactly my style but is a great read for those younger and bloodthirsty "
— Olivia, 7/16/2013 -
" Loved the build-up. Master Shan impresses as always. "
— Koyasan, 3/13/2013 -
" The sequel gets much more interesting as the character is a zombie herself but still has consciousness. Unfortunately, this is a multi-book series with no closure in sight. "
— Kevin, 3/7/2013 -
" Need.....the.....next one...... "
— Aira, 1/24/2013 -
" I was going to give this 4 stars, then I realised I couldn't get to sleep. "
