Library Journal Review

A virus called Herod's Syndrome suddenly causes all prepubescent children around the globe to drop dead, with no warning. Families and communities are left reeling, and nations are on the edge of economic collapse. As the world mourns the loss of an entire generation, sorrow turns to joy when the children begin returning from the dead. But the children are hungry, and desperate parents find that they are willing to sacrifice anything to quench that hunger. R.C. Bray gives a superb performance, reading with great feeling and energy, establishing a convincing foundation for the imagination. He uses multiple character inflections and intonations, so distinguishing the characters is effortless. Verdict In this thought-provoking and horrific tale, DiLouie (The Killing Floor) offers a different spin on the postapocalyptic tale that is sure to delight readers of this genre. A great addition to libraries of any size.-JoAnn Funderburk, South Garland Branch Lib., TX (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
