Texas high school football meets zombies in this fun and fast-paced debut from Ryan Brown (son of best-selling author Sandra.)
Cole Logan is not your typical high school quarterback - with a reputation as a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, he is known to test the limits of his coach. When he is brutally attacked by members of the rival team the morning of the big game, he fights for the right to still play. When the coach refuses, Cole walks out on his team. When a stunt perpetrated by the rivals goes horribly wrong, the entire team and coaching staff perishes, except for the head coach. Cole, who witnessed the accident and attempted to rescue his teammates, feels responsible and, along with the coach's pretty and smart daughter, seeks revenge.
While neither zombies nor football are something I would normally seek to read about, I really enjoyed this book. The dialogue is snappy, the plot is outrageous, the bad guys are just so, so bad, there is a romantic sideline, and the whole book is just funny. For those looking for a quick, light and fun read for the summer and who are not bothered by the undead, sexual situations or crude language, this just might fit the bill.
