Panic is a apocalyptic zombie-esque secret society driven
disaster story set in the rural village of St. Davids in Wales. The ball is set
rolling with the landing of steel canisters in the back yard of one of the
villages’ houses that results in the first “zombification” resulting in the
typical struggle for survival.
One thing made me love this book and would prompt me to actually
buy the further volumes of the series. That was the fantastically vivid
descriptions of the carnage and the fast nature of the story telling. The story writing doesn’t labour over the
small unimportant details of the scenery or talk down to the reader by
explaining who everyone is and their back-story in more detail than necessary.
However, what makes me think again was the lack of trigger
warnings for one or two of the scenes at the end. These sorts of this might be where the human
condition goes to during this sort of event but please lead up to it with
something to at least warn the reader of what to expect.
Well paced, fast read with a typical cliff hanger ending to
keep you coming back.
3.5 stars.
I received this book to review through Library Thing Early
Reviewers.
