About this ebook

What kind of self-respecting zombie can be stopped with a bullet to the brain?

This isn’t your typical, whining little weakling trying to navigate his way through a zombie infested dystopian society. This is the epicenter of the outbreak, where your average novel doesn’t dare venture. This is Noah Britton fighting his way through the heart of the zombie freakin’ apocalypse.

The high school is on lockdown but the infection has already invaded its borders. It’s too late. Screams echo through the halls, blood stains the lockers, the dead don’t die for long. Mutilated, half eaten corpses wander the halls in search of the living. These aren’t your normal slow moving corpses that trudge along hoping for victims. No. They run faster. Fight harder. Know no pain. Show no weakness. Offer no reprieve.

Noah must make the ultimate sacrifice and decide who to save and who to leave behind. What ranks higher in these desperate times; friendship or strategy? Can old rivals put aside their differences and work together for the greater good or will human emotions lead to the end of the world as we know it?

 The edge of your seat intensity never dies as Noah, his neurotic bus driver, his best friends, his worst enemies, the girl he likes, the girl he hates or loves or who the hell even knows anymore and a power hungry rival desperate for control all try to co-inhabit a school bus in search of a safe haven that may no longer exist.

 Gruesome. Intense. Graphic and Brutally violent. Yet emotionally driven with enough heart to sustain a dying species taken off life support. The characters tear themselves from the pages, forcing their way into your heart, demanding you continue when it all gets to be too much. This is hope. This is strength. This is the end. And it’s only the beginning.

 

Ratings and reviews

Despite a good introduction to the infected, Blood Type 1: No Future For Man turns out to be fairly boring, for the most part. The characters were either bland, unlikable, or seriously creepy. I found myself skipping large portions of the book. If you want to read a better high school zombie thriller, I'd suggest Dead Quarantine.

At first I really liked this book. I loved the main characters inner monologue even if it did occasionally go on to long to be believable under the circumstances. I'm a sucker for a humorous and plucky inner voice. Rapidly however I became so I annoyed with his overwhelming, irrational and fatalistic belief that he was turning/dying. Not to mention the pattern of every chapter ending in him thinking he was about to die or turn right this second. By the time that pattern had finally let up I was too annoyed to enjoy the rest of the book.

Started out solid and then took a turn. the political views of the character are upheld with his use of such things as: military grade explosive perfume,some sort of napalm spray and a magic baseball bat. Any sense of realism goes out the window. I would have enjoyed the story much more if the author had done any research on any of his action scenes. As a person who has actually been experienced in life i can say that the overly horny main characters would have died while the rest of us were blowing zombie heads off with our evil guns. Read the whole thing 2 stars because you had words ona page that conveyed a story....
