I have finished the novel Empire by David Dunwoody. It is an online serial posted on blogger.com published in 2006. Overall, I would say that I liked it. Death plays an interesting role in this zombie serial, by death I mean the Reaper and not just death death (which is kind of like the Reaper). Anyway, when I first started reading it, I wasn't drawn in right away but I stuck it out. This paid off because the later sections of the book were amazing. Everything really came together nicely, and I really feel that Dunwoody came into his element as he closed out the last 1/2 of his book. With these chapters I could not stop reading. He also left it open for a sequel, butI haven't had the chance to see if there is one yet.
I would recommend this book for any zombie lovers especially if you are looking for something a little different than a typical zombie narrative, but I would not recommend it for younger readers. There was of course a lot of blood and gore which is the case in any zombie novel, but there were "adult situations" as they say on tv, meaning sex scenese in the novel that I wouldn't want my little brother reading.
But if you have even the vaguest interest, you should try it out!
