REVIEW: Awakening

Awakening
Author: M.C. Bass

I'm always game for a good zombie story, especially one with a different twist. In Awakening, M.C. Bass takes the usual zombie apocalypse scenario and adds in an ancient plague curse and nanotechnology. The results? A really good zombie tale with great sci-fi elements and lots of action!

Dr. Lauren Martinez is in Russia working on nanotechnology that could extend the human life span, possibly indefinitely The experiments aren't going very well though. Becoming impatient, the man financing the research comes across an ancient box that contains ancient Egyptian technology. Although he is warned not to open the box, he does so anyway. And....BOOM....the apocalypse descends. Cue grisly deaths, narrow escapes and nano-zombies running amok everywhere.....

This book is a mix of sci-fi, zombie horror and military action story. I'm always up for a guns-blazing action story...the zombies were just the cherry on top the cupcake for me. Made for a great afternoon of entertaining reading!

Awakening is the first book in the Ancient Purge series. The second book, Evolution, continues the story, as the zombie outbreak threatens humanity. I already have book 2 queued up on my Kindle. Book one ended on a cliffhanger....and I have to know what happens next! :)
