Book 12, SRP 2L Deadline, by Mira Grant

Gonna be vague here so as not to spoil: Like this book just as much as I did Feed, albeit for different reasons. The first book incorporated political intrigue in such a way that the book wasn't really about zombies at all; the real monsters were those manipulating events to their own ends no matter who stood in their way. In Deadline, the book focuses on Shaun Mason and his grief for sister Georgia (truth be told, I found Shaun rather annoying in Feed. Deadline is more of a psychological study, both in terms of Shaun and company's personal pain and of group behavior -- the culture of fear that has developed and what organizations are willing to do in the interest of the greater good when left unchecked. The only problem will be waiting for the next one to see how it all ends.
