Cover Art - 'Sadie Walker Is Stranded' (Madeline Roux)

Because it has been three days since I last mentioned zombies on this here blog and that's far too long really... ;o)

Lots of grey grasping hands and blood, just what I like on a zombie cover :o) And here's some blurb for you...

Sadie Walker fights for survival as the dead close in...

In the months since The Outbreak, Seattle has become a walled fortress - the Infected are kept at bay, and the survivors are trying to scrape back a life. But the city is rife with crime, religious cults and black-market dealings. And things are about to get much, much worse.

When a group of frustrated fanatics, the 'Repopulationists', destroy part of the wall, zombies start swarming the city. Sadie, devastated by the brutal kidnapping of her young nephew, must find him and get them both out before it's too late. But the only escape is by sea, and she's seen for herself the horrible fate of those who tried that route before...

I loved the initial concept for Roux's 'Madeline Hewitt is Trapped' but it really didn't hold up to scrutiny and I wasn't too sure if I'd read more of her work off the back of it. It looks like Roux has ditched that approach here though so I'll be giving it a go, it is zombies after all... :o)

The reading pile is looking dangerously high at the moment (it won't be once I finally finish 'A Dance With Dragons'...) so it might take a while to get round to 'Sadie Walker is Stranded'; anyone else reading it in the meantime?

My copy was published by St. Martin's in the US, I'll hazard a guess and say that Headline will be releasing it over here.
