pacardullo's review against another edition
4.0
"Dead Earth: The Green Dawn" is a fun, briskly paced novella following the life of a young sheriff's deputy during the beginning of what turns out to be a zombie apocalypse. While some of the elements at first appear to be "standard zombie apocalypse fare", the authors handle these elements well and throw in some interesting twists to show that these are not your standard-issue zombies. (I wont say more so I can keep this spoiler free. Let's just say the origin and "purpose" of the zombies sets this story apart.) The authors' decision to concentrate on just one protagonist also adds to the enjoyment of the story. We follow young Jubal Slate closely and see just how he is changed by these events.
The book is a quick read and feels like a introduction to a larger story. This is because, it is... After reading "Dead Earth: The Green Dawn", one immediately wants to pick up their follow-up novel "[b:Dead Earth: The Vengeance Road|9682440|Dead Earth The Vengeance Road|Mark Justice|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328363195s/9682440.jpg|14570378]". After tasting this appetizer and enjoying it, I'm looking forward to their main course.
