Er, picked it up ? I stole
zarjazzers version while he was marinading in alchol.
Anyway my review of FLU is very positive. Set in Belfast, where surely the dead still extract a price upon the living several disperate characters find themselves battling to stay alive against undead zombie hordes,their own prejudices and each other.
The authorites in the shape of the Police and the Army attempt to quarentine the infected but the FLU epidemic spreads quickly and only the armed [Police, Ex IRA] and the quick [ petty criminals,young women ] really stand a chance holding out in various houses while the zombies wander the streets outside.
Meanwhile a horrifying experiment inside a Military Base grows towards fruition.
Themes of revenge, guilt for past misdeeds and hope for redemption in the shape of a possible cure for the FLU make it all a good read.
Some caution should be given though as there is inevitably some gorey bits and an attempted sexual assault though I hasten to add that this is a
horror story. I didn't feel there were too many graphic descriptions that would induce retching in anyone.
So buy-or
die!
