This book was great. I liked how dark the story was and I was surprised when it evolved into such a conspiracy. It was heartbreaking at the end when the main character lost her love interest! The ending was sort of satisfying but left me wanting to know what would happen after it ended.

The Post by author Kevin A. Munoz was a decent post apocalyptic novel with some twists mixed in. I wasn’t crazy about the book but it wasn’t bad either.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of The Post in exchange for an honest review.

I was very intrigued by the description of this book as I am a huge fan of dystopian fiction. I was not disappointed! This novel deals with current issues such as human trafficking as well as potential dystopian issues such as non-human monsters aka zombies. I loved how this book wasn't your average zombie story but it did build an excellent dystopian world . Overall this is the perfect read for fans of the genre and would be a good read for fans of innovative fiction. I give this 5 stars out of 5. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Rather good, well-developed story set in a post-apocalyptic world. The writing is clean and clear, the character development on-point, and the novel itself keeps you on your toes until the very end.

I'm a sucker for zombie books so I was excited to receive an early Kindle ARC of The Post. Thanks, NetGalley!

The novel starts out with Chief of Police Sam Edison maintaining order in The Little Five, a small enclave in post-apocalyptic Georgia. When two strangers appear at the gate one day, and are later brutally murdered, Sam's investigation uncovers a shocking human trafficking ring, and that conspirators have been hiding amongst her town.

When a young woman is kidnapped, Sam sets out with a small group of loyal colleagues to recover her, but the loss of life is heartbreaking, especially when she realizes her rescue mission was a ruse.

I started out admiring Sam until her annoying and frustrating naïveté and innocence belied a strong woman who used to serve in the military. Sam began to get on my nerves.

Despite living in a world overrun by zombies and human savages, Sam's delusional belief that law and order can be maintained without bloodshed is ridiculous. Has she been living under a rock all this time?

There's a moment when she is upset two male traffickers had to be dispatched because they are still 'men' and not zombies.

Uhh...sorry, but when you commit despicable acts, you are not a human being, much less a man (or woman).

In another scene, Sam lets down her guard and is almost assaulted. Huh? Why would she go willingly with a stranger when she is on unfamiliar territory?

Sometimes, Sam speaks with common sense and rationale and other times, her actions make no sense.

I think the author is trying to paint Sam Edison with a Rick Grimes brush, the latter a solid quality character I've ever read in a zombie graphic novel to date.

I would also like to point out that I think the author is a gun nut because there is a LOT of gun jargon. For the layperson, I have no idea how a semiautomatic differs from another automatic or where they come from.

I get it, we all need guns in a post-apocalyptic world, but I don't need a gun lesson in how one model can be converted to another kind of weapon versus another model. Some details I can do without.

The mystery of the villainous head of the trafficking organization is not hard to figure out. I mean, there can only be one person and the big bad ain't Negan, not by a long shot.

What I enjoy about zombie novels and graphics is that the fear lies not in a zombie infested world but in the rest of humanity. The living are worse than the dead.

There are dark themes here; human trafficking, sexual abuse and violence, slave labor, physical violence so be forewarned of these triggers.

Overall, not a terrible story minus the gun talk.

I liked the inclusion of LGBT characters but I wished I liked Sam; I wanted her to be tougher, sharper and self aware. There's nothing wrong with having flaws, we all do, but her actions and decisions were inconsistent with a person with her military background.

If you like zombie books, give this one a try.

The Post is very similar to The Walking Dead. Whether you call them Walkers or Hollow-heads, we all know you are talking about zombies. Much like Rick who was cop prior to the apocalypse and is the leader of his little tribes, Sam is Chief of a town called The Little Five. He was on the coast guard prior to the dead taking over.

Upon accepting two new people into the town, an attack occurs and lives are of course lost. Predictable. There is a lot of weapon jargon that is useless to the story unless you like/know weapons. Also, in this universe, the undead have been mobile for 10 years. Yet, you have people who still don't know how/when to pull the trigger or aim the gun?!

I got through 25%. This book is just not working for me. But if you like The Walking Dead or zombies, you might enjoy it.

Great Read.. The writer somehow gave a unique quietness to this book. Totally different take on the usual end of the world books. When the virus becomes active it reacts totally different from ALL other zombie books and I have read a lot of zombie books. The main character (Sam) has a high moral character and causes Sam to overthink situations. I am not going to give away any of the story, why because everyone will see this book in a different light and will enjoy it I am sure.

I was given this ARC by NetGalley for a fair and honest review.

Dystopian? Zombie Apocalypse? Well, it's a bit of both. First, the book was well written, the world building painted a vivid picture of life after the collapse. So, why 3 stars? Well, I didn't like the main protagonist for a start. It was less about the character dealing with moral quandaries and more about something lacking in character and purpose. I don't want to spoil it for you, so please dive in and see for yourself. Also, I felt that the story didn't really hold together. The main theme was supposed to be a quest, coupled with some gold old fashioned misdirection, but the conclusion was less of a shocking reveal, and more of a muddle.

I was waiting for the book to really kick in with a great payoff, but it didn't really happen for me. It was a book I wanted to finish, but didn't really end satisfyingly. If you like Dystopian/Zombie genre, then it's certainly worth a read, as you may well reach a different conclusion than me.

Dystopian world building works well in this book and the author makes a creative contribution to the genre. I would gladly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys quality science fiction.

In post-pandemic Georgia, a man and a pregnant teen-ager arrive at a secure community. The man intends to move on, leaving the girl behind. When they are both killed inside the walls of the city, the Chief of Police, Sam Edison intends to find out why and by whom. When the mayor’s step-daughter is abducted and their sister city is attacked and over-run, Sam has no choice but to take the investigation outside the safety of the gates.

This novel contains everything one would expect to see in dystopic, post-pandemic tales. There are creatures that are no longer human that are a constant source of worry and attack, small communities trying to rebuild, trade alliances, and politics.

The author unwraps the main character, slowly, allowing the reader to see only glimpses, until and if, he is ready to reveal more. No spoilers, but I found that to be very well done.

This was an interesting story with twists and turns all the way to the end; a quick and enjoyable read. The author left the ending open enough that it could be turned into a series.
