Book Review of Time of Death:
Induction
Life becomes a large cauldron, when your worst fears
chase you for your life and even more worse when you don’t know from whom you
are running from.
The story starts with a shriek “Code
Brown in room 204”, which gives you an eerie feeling of what has
happened and you have to dig in, to know what caused the panic and what will be
the aftermath of it.
Lives of Jake and Emma change forever when the
un-dead chase them, for their neighbours start eating each other and were next
in queue to be eaten.
The story describes the petrified lives of the
living and the ways they devise to be protected from the un-dead. It all started
with a bite, and it spread like a wild fire in every direction. With the passage
of time the un-dead hunt the living and in the process give rise to a whole new
army of more un-dead, with ever increasing proportions.
Jake and Emma run for their lives in search of any
living and find a group of people who were taking shelter in make shift houses,
until they were again force to leave their houses when attacked by the infected
zombies. And the story describes the ways they invent and devise to stay away from
the zombies and to move far away from them.
I don’t want to be spoiler of what has happened in
the story, but it is a must read book for all the zombie lovers.
My Review:
Well poised novel with a lot of drama and fear. There
is always an eerie feeling with the characters in the novel of being attacked
by some zombie and to get infected. Jake and Emma, the protagonist of the story
were always on their feet since the outbreak of the infection. There was a bit
of reconciliation towards the end and the fear that once grasped Jake and Emma
was now ward-off and peace prevailed. The humming of the birds and the cries of
the children were more of music than noises to our protagonists, after a long battle
for survival.
I just had a feeling the ending is going to be like
the stories that we heard when we were kids “Happily Ever After!”, but as everything
seemed ok, the author, brought the infection again to the survivors and there
was a twist, at the very end of the story.
It gives a bird’s I view, of the events, from the
eyes of a woman (Emma) and it
captures the moments in the story that only a
woman can understand.
I am very thankful to Shana Festa for considering me
to review her novel.
