A prequel to Dead island :Operation Zulu!

I really enjoyed Dead island :Operation Zulu and actually didn’t realise this was the prequel till I was a ways into the story!! Because I didn’t read the summary of this, I was a little lost at the start trying to figure out what was going on, but the light finally clicked in my head and I had that ahhhh moment!! lol.

The plot of this was fast paced and intense. It’s basically centered around two separate stories. The first is the Mexican Cartel and the drugs they are selling. They are trying to make the drug more addicting but they don’t realise that their extremely crazy scientist is experimenting with things that he shouldn’t and one thing leads to another and the drug causes the dead to return .

Then we have a Special Forces team sent in to retrieve the head of the Mexican cartel for the killing of someone important. Little do they know that they are about to stumble into the beginning of the end.

I enjoyed seeing how the Zombie virus came to be and look forward to listening to the next one! The characters were all well written and developed, including the bad guys!! The scientist was one crazy a88 dude!!! He was definitely one of the sickest and twisted guys I’ve read in a while. The author knows how to write zombies! He was very detailed in some of the parts, *Shudder*, and had me going eww quite a few times!!

In all, this was a great read. It’s brutal and gory, but oh so good!

Andrew B. Wehrlen was amazing in this performance!! I’ve listened to many by him but this one really showed his strengths as a narrator because of the number of characters he had to perform. There were quite a few yet he was able to give each one their own personality and tone and it was easy to follow who was talking. His inflections and cadences really brought the story to life.
