Description from the amazon:
Inside these pages lies unspeakable horror. Bloodsplattering, brain-impaling, flesh-devouring horror. You’ve probably read your fair share of zombie stories. But this time it’s different. No longer can you sit idle as a bunch of fools make all the wrong moves. All hell is about to break loose—and YOU have a say in humanity’s survival.
You have choices to make.
Moral dilemmas.
Strategic decisions.
Weapons. Vehicles.
Will you be a hero?
Or will you cover your own ass at all costs?
Can you withstand the coming hours, days, weeks, and months?
Or will you die amidst the chaos and violence of a zombie uprising?
Or, worst of all, will you become one of them?
My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): no one to blame but yourself
This choose-your-own-adventure tale involves a mid 20's male character who must deal with the zombies in the big apple, NYC.
Some LOL moments as well as strategy to ponder while running (reading) through this adventure. Reading this was like playing a fun board game.
The special treats in this book that make it even more entertaining are the illustrations sprinkled in done by Christopher Mitten. Check out some of the pieces at Christopher's site.
