Xombie Reanimated - by James Farr

Xombie Reanimated is about a colony of people who are surviving amongst a world of zombies. They are in trouble, as their machine that covers up the living scent and protects them is about to run out of power. So the leaders call on a young girl who, when she was little, told a story of a zombie who rescued her and brought her home. He was also a talker. And zombies don't talk.

So they take Zoe out into the world to find this hybrid zombie, and find him they do. So Zoe and the hybrid Dirge set out to rescue the interrupted return of a power source to the colony to prevent all of zombiedom from descending on the colony and ending what's left of civilization. And so the troubles begin.

This was a fun read. After reading a couple of other zombie novels, I'm starting to get into this genre. It's full of post-apocalyptic goodness. This one has the cool twist of a hybrid zombie that can think and talk. It also brings up the philosophical idea of good and evil, and past and present. It was also just full of action and zombies!
