Book Review: What Remains by James Fuller (What Remains Book 1)

     A fatal sickness spread quickly across the land turning all that contracted it into Zombies. Now, 10 years later the world is still trying to piece itself together. Small factions have broken out and safety isn't always in numbers. Archer has survived since the onset by keeping to himself and only going into towns when absolutely necessary. That all changes when he reached Silverton and Cody, a hired man for the town's leader, recruits Archer to retrieve something stolen from his boss in exchange for a clip of bullets. When the people refuse to give up the item everyone but a small girl is killed. Realizing something isn't right with this set-up Archer decides to back out. However, what the girl has could save the whole world. If only Archer cared enough to help. 

    I received this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. Somehow I managed to start 3 post-apocalyptic books all featuring zombies at the same time. I don't know how. Since I can normally keep plots separated easily due to the vast array of genres I read I stopped the other two to focus on this one. Didn't want to cross lines. I'll come back to the others soon now that this one is finished. 

    Archer is kind of a dick. He is, don't get me wrong. He fully accepts that he is a dick and tells everyone he doesn't like people and doesn't want to deal with them. I get it. I don't like people either, for the most part. However, I don't know that I would go to some of the extremes he went to. That being said he is my favorite character in the book. Given, I didn't have a lot to choose from between the cannibals, the little girl, Vincent, and Blare. 

    I don't like that this book didn't have chapters. It is just one continuous run separated by a gas mask showing when characters change. Generally. Occasionally there are two of the same character section in a row.  Maybe they are supposed to indicate chapters, but without any statement alluding to this I cannot be sure. Other than that I genuinely enjoyed the book. I love post-apocalyptic books and this one is no different. The secret of the cure was an interesting twist. I hope there is more to it!
