The Dead: Charlie Higson

Two weeks ago when I did The Enemy it seemed that you guys really liked it and since I can't stop talking about this series, I am more than happy to write about Book Two!

The Dead is a sequel to The Enemy and exists within the same dystopian universe as the first book, but follows a completely different story line. 
We meet Ed, who is desperately trying to escape from his boarding school where all of the teachers have become zombies or "sickos' as the book calls them. He is rescued by the mysterious grown up Greg, has he 
escaped the sickness that has infected all the other adults and can he be trusted? 

A few plot twists and turns, sees Ed seeking refuge in the Imperial War Museum with another group of survivors and their leader Jordan, but with an army of sickos drawing ever closer will they be able to come out on top? Or will they get eaten alive?

This book is a fantastic addition to the series and introduces us to so many new characters. It’s just so interesting how while many books only follow one character, this series follows the stories of so many different characters that gives the reader a new viewpoint on the action and keeps it really exciting.
