Snipers by Camille Picott

 

In this brutal war, even zombies evolve. With his town relying on his tiny band of defenders, can a young man defeat a rotting tyranny?

Northern California, 1985. Leo Cecchino won’t rest until his people are safe. Leading the battle against the Soviet walking dead, he turns to his ex-girlfriend’s chess master sister to calculate their next move. But with the commie invaders deliberately infecting American innocents, they’re running out of time to stop the streets from flowing with rivers of blood.

With bullets flying and flesh-eating threats all around, Leo can’t afford to be distracted by his growing feelings for his brilliant strategist. But when their plan to cut off a crucial supply line is derailed by unstoppable mutated predators, he’ll have to step up to prevent the free world from falling to a blood-spattered gory fate.

Can Leo show the undead Reds that America is the land of the living and the home of the brave?



Stakes are high and mistakes are costly in this second of the three part series. Our characters learn how far the invasion has got (very far) and how much trouble they're in (a lot) while fighting Russians, zombies, mutant zombies, Russian zombies and raging hormones.

Our heroes suffer some losses this time around, as in all the best zombie stories. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out; the stakes are getting very high and things are getting very dangerous. It's hard to see how this can work out well.

There were a few small typos, but nothing unbearable or that made me put the book down. This is a definite must read if you're a zombie fan. But maybe wait until the third one comes out so you don't have to deal with the cliffhanger!


Snipers publishes on the 31st December, 2020.
