5 stars Well, that took some unexpected twists and turns. There was a bit more focus placed on interpersonal relationships so I liked that. I even felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Joe because "... he felt like he was drowning. He was just under the surface, his fingers close to breaking through, to get the air and hope he needed. It was right there. But his family had a firm grip on his ankle, keeping him under." I still think he's a jerk, but he seems to genuinely believe he's the victim. Cooper said one of my favorite things. While working as a Uber driver, Cooper has a conversation with his passenger, during which the passenger tries to tell him what to do in a zombie apocalypse. When Cooper seems disinclined to believe there's any reason to worry, the passenger responds by pointing out something that happened in Florida. Cooper says, "That was in Florida." When the guy starts to argue, he repeats, "No, I mean that was Florida." There's also a joke by one of the cops after they discover a couple of murder victims. They're Peace to the Streets volunteers wearing the group's red shirts. They are compared to the red shirt characters popularized on Star Trek. It made me chuckle. It's a good installment to the series. It ends a bit abruptly, with Cooper's fate in question, and since that's my favorite character, I now have to read the next book. I would have anyway.
