First off yes this is a Christian themed book with zombies in it. I know, I was amazed with the blending of two genres as I read the book and they blend seamlessly together.
Mark Rogers is a devote Catholic so there is a lot more spirituality and discussions on faith than you're going to find in other books along with enough swearing to give this book a firm grounding in reality. One of good thing Rogers is very good at is presenting both sides of an argument, so when two people are debating or arguing you never feel one side is truly winning. It might seem that way at first but later on you're going to get the other sides version of things to balance everything out.
Another thing Rogers does is write really well. I wouldn't say he's a great writer but man can he tell a story. His writing is on par with Stephen King, only Rogers editing of useless material is much better. King over writes to many of his books now by a hundred pages or so. There is none of that in Rogers books. His characters are true blue collar workers or at least feel that way, which helps to give them a firm a grounding in reality and easy to relate to. The pacing moves along with a decent speed but nothing too fast and violence is well very violent as one would expect from a zombie themed story. It was a good read and doesn't take too long to finish if you're in the mood for a little light, fun reading, this is the book for you.
