From this point on, the 'Zom-B' series begins to pace towards its ending, no longer doing somewhat standalone stories as this entry ends on a fairly climactic cliffhanger, promising the main conflict of the next novel.
There are still some parts that don't work; the infectivity of the zombie plague is made out to be quite extreme (more extreme than previous novels made out) and the antagonists are introduced quite sloppily. Also, the concept of the leper effect, the ostracised and social pariahs, is a bit underdeveloped in my opinion but I like the idea. All things considered though, it's a quick, easy read.
What does work though is a really sad, unfortunate death...
