Thats all this book really is is a short story, take a look inside and you will find 136 pages with large font and plenty of blank paper on each page.
That said I did enjoy the story, the plot idea is well thought out and the plot moved along quickly and logicaly. Its really a shame that this isn't a novel as the idea is good and their is definatly enough scope to make a decent novel (if not a series of them).

The story is a good one and it moves along at a fair speed, so much so that I started reading it yesterday and finished it today by reading it on the train. It's an easy story to read and the theme is an interesting one - zombie soldiers in the British army. The style of writing is a bit sparse, and the author doesn't delve into detail. The story could easily be made into a decent film.

Good Short Story, Where Soldiers Never Die, No Matter How Much They Want to
2 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
Dead Brigade is a short 126 page length (for the large print edition) story published as a standalone book. It's around the same length as the Quick Reads series books if you're familiar with those. A brilliant little story it is too. Basic tale begins with a depressed and suicidal Sergeant Dex Hammond, and his career that in recent years was going nowhere. You see Hammond was a passionate solider, who outlined his fears of an imminent attack to an incompetent lazy captain if they took a shortcut down a hill rather than walk a couple of hundred metres around a probable ambush site. Of course Hammond was right and his patrol was massacred, with himself and the incompetent sergeant the only survivors. A depressed and disillusioned Hammond has been spending the years since ordering supplies and handling invoices for a UK base's kitchen. Until one day that incompetent sergeant, now a Major visits him with a new assignment, which is posted at a top secret military scientific research base. Hammond has no idea what possible role he can play at the facility, even more so when he's shown a room full of dead bodies, he touches one and to his terror it grabs his arm.
This is a really good story, you sort of think you know where it's going at times but it never does. This is not your typical mindless zombies eating flesh or brains of humans type story. As Hammond says "Zombie's have no mind of their own. My lot have.."
