That's the son of Mel Brooks is the author of this novel (humor .. mockery of the genre and jewel sf ..) .. I am far from being a fan of the theme "zombie" .. For now I enjoyed: 28 days later .. I Am Legend (book and film) and Doom (which can be linked to this kind ??) ... The war took place but the crisis is not completely resolved and the situation not completely secure .. The United Nations is required to prepare a report on the history of war ... The author of the report published a collection of stories (because the UN does not want it) .. This is what we have in our hands .. So we read the testimony of very diverse individuals (portraits cared) physicians ... soldiers péquins means .. .. .. diplomats ministers marine .. .. .. etc .. smugglers This is documented quite fine ... neat .. .. .. exceedingly realistic In fact I think it's a great apocalyptic novel ... The humor and parody that dot every page is a real way to get into an indictment against the war .. It is done objectively and without bias real .. I was very sensitive to this denunciation that is as neat respectful of mankind (the whole planet is envisaged !!) .. I find why this novel is a good time and it does a world of good ... Sincerely! : A very good time .. credible on the bottom .. well built and well written ... .. relevant Do not miss it even if you are allergic to zombies ...
