"Dead Sea" by Brian Keene

Anyway. Yeah, another Keene zombie novel. "Dead Sea" isn't related to "The Rising" and "City of the Dead" except in a vague sort of manner. There are some scenes that seem to overlap between the Rising series and "Dead Sea".This is because Keene is building a sort of mythology. There are some details in his novel "Ghoul" and more information on his website about the Keene-iverse."Dead Sea" is okay. Parts of it are quite good, much of it seems rather uninspired. The prose is uneven, with some being a pleasure to read and other sections being less so.I'd rate it 3.5 on a scale of 1-5. Its a good short summer read if you're looking for a way to kill a few hours. On the plus side, some of the scenes are absolutely cool. On the down side, some of the scenes are mind-numbingly boring.Might want to check it out.
