Richard Jackson, in a book published by Benjamin Franklin, wrote, “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” What would you do if your basic civil liberties were revoked in the name of public safety? How would you respond to a government of oppression? How important are your freedoms? Would you risk imprisonment or even death to fight for all of our freedom? Would you break Curfew?

Feed tells the story of a group of bloggers following the campaign trail of a presidential hopeful 25 years after “the Rising,” otherwise known as that time when all the dead people started eating us. Zombies are now a part of daily life, a constant threat just waiting to attack. People still live and work much as they always have, although they now reside in guarded “protected neighborhoods,” their homes and offices barricaded against the undead. Just going outside requires a clean blood test to get back in, lest you risk infecting (eating) everyone else inside when you turn. And as the road to the White House goes on; murder, mystery, and intrigue follow like a pack of ravenous zombies, slowly shuffling its way toward the living, ready to gnash your flesh between its cold, dead teeth.

Feed was released in May of 2010, followed a year later by this month’s Deadline. There is one more title in the trilogy, scheduled for release in 2012. I thoroughly recommend Feed and can’t wait to sink my teeth into Deadline. Braaaaiiiiiiinnzzzzzzz.
