5.0 out of 5 stars This book is what Zombie's are all about, 27 Dec 2007
By Smokey (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I thought this book was fantastic. I have read several Brian Keene books and this was my second fave after Terminal. I don't want to give away any spoilers so i'll keep it short. This book is mega fast paced from beginning to end. Has an excellent plot and great charactors. There is nothing missing from this novel at all. A perfect read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Title, 20 May 2009
By R. A. Cruikshank "Cpt. Hamshank" (South Lanarkshire, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So I really dig zombie/post-apocalyptic fiction and while searching on Amazon found Brian Keene's novels. Deciding to go with Dead Sea for a first read I gotta say I am very impressed. Other reviews for his other books painted him in a different light to what I read of his work. I can honestly say Dead Sea is one of the better zombie novels I've ever read and I'll be buying up more of his work after being so impressed with this book.

The zombie mythos is evolving more and more, with the introduction of running zombies and thinking zombies and new ways to spread infection and more species being infected and so on. Some, though valiantly attempted, fail miserably at improving on the genre. Some, as in the case of Dead Sea, succeed marvellously in taking the zombie genre and taking it in a new direction. Cross-species infection is handled brilliantly, the zombies are their classic slow/hording selves, and the imagery is intense.

Keene does an excellent job of pulling you in and making you feel part of the story. The first person perspective coupled with common cultural notions, little things such as the kid in the Slipknot shirt or the joke about Fallout Boy being all that's left for future generations to find, draws you in further and lets you relate a little better with the kind of guy Keene is.

It's through these little nuances that the book becomes more engaging and the story never loses pace. It's an excellent slice of Zombie Fiction and I urge anyone reading this to pick it up if you haven't already and you're a fan of Zombies. Regardless of what other reviews say I'll be checking out a lot more of Keene's work and deciding for myself how good it is, but as far as Dead Sea goes?

10/10. Great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars KEENE'S BEST HORROR YET, 12 Oct 2008
By jason crawford "HammerHorror" (Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just when i thought he couldn't improve on his previous zombie books The Rising & City of the Dead, Keene brings out Dead Sea. Action packed with wonderful characters. This has a very claustraphobic feel about it, which just adds to the tension and sheer horror of the story. Basically this is a spin-off story from his other zombie books about people escaping the zombie-infested dry land to seek sanctuary elsewhere. They soon find out that their pitiful boat isn't the safe haven they first thought it was. As you'd expect their situation becomes dire as the world collapses around them. I don't like giving the story away in reviews but the ending is so heartbreakingly tragic. I have read about six books by Keene and this is my favourite up to now. Just can't get enough of his wonderful sick stuff.Zombie/apocalyptic fans buy this now.
