These days Zombies are quickly becoming the latest trend, with a rise in TV Shows, movies and books focusing on the walking corpses it's getting harder and harder for writer's to throw a new twist on the genre. Yet author Charlie Higson throws us into a world that is not only completely original, but expertly written, resulting in one of the best zombie novels yet.

When the zombie outbreak begins it infects every person over 14 years of age, with all adults either dead or mindless zombies the children of London are left to defend for themselves and survive their horrible new world. With a blistering pace, non-stop action and realistic characters 'The Enemy' follows a gang of kids trying to make their way to the centre of the city and to sanctuary.

As the first book in the series Higson does well to establish his characters and the children's reactions to different situations throughout the book only adds to the realism that he is creating. With each novel fleshing out the world even more, 'The Enemy' is not only a great introduction to the series, but an action-packed roller coaster ride that is a must read for any fan of the walking dead or action-horror. This is a captivating novel that will dig it's claws in deep and not let go until the final page.
