A New Twist on the Walking Dead,
By
This review is from: SKELETONS (Mass Market Paperback)
The Earth is passing through a region of space with a strange life field. Some legends believe that the Earth passed this way once before and life sprang up on the planet. But this time there is already life on the planet. The result is a supercharge of life to the point that the dead start to walk.The walking dead take the form of skeletons surrounded by a hazy body. They are not mindless zombies. They retain the full knowledge of their past life. But put a skeleton near a normal living person and they go into a killing rage. Regular humans are becoming scarce. Even the skeletons who want to preserve normal humans have a hard time restraining themselves. Abraham Lincoln is back in the White House. He is leading the country in a new time of trouble with a new type of civil war. But the President also listens to his advisors. He knows that reanimation may be temporary and that regular humans need to survive to carry on once the skeletons stop. This is a wonderful new take on the walking dead theme. This is not a gore-fest. It is an intelligent working of a creation myth. Yes, there is a lot of death, but death is not the thrust or point of the story. Very well done and the ending is also rather unique. Check this one out.

End of the world excellence!,
By jorge prada (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SKELETONS (Mass Market Paperback)
Sarrantonio delivers with this refreshing take on a familiar subject. Horrific and funny. His handling of historical figures and contempory celebs is not to be missed.

THE definitive book of 'us' against 'them'. A must read,
By A Customer
This review is from: SKELETONS (Mass Market Paperback)
The dead rise when our spec of the universe passes through cosmic gas, and they're intent on destroying humanity and creating they're own order. As the living rebel against the dead in a fight for survival it becomes obvious man's reign as the dominant species of earth has reached a fatal end.
