Pages: 230
The end of the world came. Fifteen years ago the world
was laid to waste, leaving behind it a wasteland and the remnants of the human
race struggle to survive. Their plight is made terrifying by the hoards of
undead Biters that attack and convert any living and moving human.
Teenager Alice has spent her life in the Deadland that
was once the thriving country of India, where her education consisted of combat
and survival. One day while out hunting Alice spots a Biter, wearing bunny
ears, disappear into a hole in the ground. Following him, Alice finds herself
in a fabled underground Biter base.
What Alice discovers there changes not only her
understanding of the Biters and their origin, but it will change life for
everyone in the Deadland, and maybe the entire world. The truth about the nuclear
war, The Rising and the rise of the Biters could spell ruin or freedom for
Alice and the other humans.
While in the base Alice comes face to face with the Queen
of the Biters, and her destiny is revealed, her destiny to one day free the
enslaved humans and bring peace between humans and the Biters. A destiny
foretold in a prophesy by the Queen, a prophesy based upon the charred remains
of the last book in the Deadland… A book called Alice in Wonderland.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Shotguns. Okay, I admit, it was a
little slow to start, but the story is catchy. A dystopian tale of survival in
the face of overwhelming odds, we go on the ride along with Alice as she learns
the truth, and then begins the fight to bring freedom and revenge to those who
need it.
I admit, this isn’t my normal faire when it comes to
genres, but if dystopian tales are this good maybe I’ll have to look into other
ones.
