#30. Monster Island by David Wellington

Title:	Monster Island
Author:	David Wellington
Genre:	Horror/Post-Apocalyptic/Zombies
Synopsis:	A man who found himself in a third-world country when civilisation collapsed has to try find rare medical supplies in NYC with which to barter his position in a new warlord run society whilst dodging the zombies that now rule the city and most of the planet.
Verdict:	Interesting assessment of countries’ chances based on their existing and previous power structures and what will be considered important in a post-apocalyptic society. The use of mummies and the description of energy transfer are both quite original. Note: I read this book whilst on holiday in a strange house by the beach. After having watched Jaws. Because I am an idiot.
