Outcast: Mountain Warriors Book 1 by R.J. BurleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a 3-star review. That is an accurate estimate of my experience with this book.
The premise of this book is that our protagonist lives in a world where zombies have taken over. There is a narrow area on the east coast where "civilization" survives. The area is fenced off and the zombies are monitored via drones.
The protagonist irritates the wrong people and gets shuffled outside of the fenceline with a mission to contact a non-infected group that is living out in the wild areas of the country. There is a bit of intrigue as there hints of groups/people back in the civilized area working with individuals out in the wild. Also...vampires.
The book suffers from one primary issue.
The fighters in the wild are martial arts students. All of them. Survival living doesn't lend itself to martial arts studios.
Also, all of the fighters are near martial arts masters.
The lack of differentiation routinely took me out of the story.
The bones of the book were pretty good. The concept was interesting. The execution was a bit lacking.
