Down Home Zombie Blues
This book was a very fun read. Linnea’s books were first published as Science Fiction, but her publisher reclassed her works as Romance, issued new covers to appeal to a new audience. Zombie Blues has action, adventure, and the expected relationship, but I was pleased that it didn’t overshadow the story.
Jorie Mikkalah is a Guardian Force commander who is chasing zombies, which lead her to Earth. Theo Petrakos is a Florida homicide detective who finds one of Jorie’s team mates—now a mummified corpse. Who knew that Florida has been infested with biomechanical organisms who are deadly to anything humanoid?
The characters are believable and likeable. I loved that Jolie was strong without making Theo weak or wishy-washy. The technology that Jorie and her team mates use are cool and worthy of wishful thinking for our current times. The zombies (not what you would normally think of as zombies) are tough enemies to beat. There is a lot of humor and the secondary characters are well-fleshed out and loyal.
The ending of this story is quite satisfactory; even though it leaves things a little open, the natural progression is obvious. There is quite an opening left for a sequel, and I found myself wanting one very much. Even the ‘bad’ character redeems himself in the end. Watching the team try to fit into the 21st century culture was quite amusing as well.
The book was hard to put down, and my enjoyment of it made me do something I’d never done before. I sent the author an email expressing my pleasure and we exchanged several notes. I also read the rest of her novels, and loved them as well.
Another very cool aspect of this novel is that it has it’s very own theme song that can be found on the internet. I recommend this one if you don’t mind a little romance with your science fiction.
