They don’t expect to be drawn into a shadow world of conspiracies and danger, risking everything they stand for as well as each other and their teams of trusted colleagues. Shaun and Georgia see this as a huge ratings boost, a way to finally reach the top tier and go independent. Their lives become infinitely more complicated when they’re chosen to be embedded with a candidate on the presidential campaign trail. Shaun and Georgia live for the truth and the truth alone. Now, 20+ years after the rising, bloggers are the stars of the media and the most trusted source of news, and our main characters, brother and sister Shaun and Georgia Mason, are the cream of the crop. If not for the bloggers, the realization of what was really happening, and what it would take to stay alive, might have come too late. After all, they were the first to tell the truth when mainstream media outlets called the initial reports of zombies merely Internet hoaxes.
In the world of Newsflesh, the most reliable source of news in a dangerous and secretive world is the blogging community. But somehow, humanity survives - a smaller, more frightened, vastly security conscious slice of humanity, but still, the rising has been overcome, and life goes on, although the world is permanently changed. When the viruses meant to cure cancer and the cold accidentally mingle upon release into the world, they combine into something deadly, known as Kellis-Amberlee, a virus that causes the dead to rise and eat people. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The fact is, for whatever reason, I must have head my head under a rock in 2010, 2011, and 2012… but here it is, the opening months of 2018, and I’m soooooo darned happy that I finally devoured these books.įor the uninitiated: What’s it all about? I just finished binge-reading Mira Grant’s amazing trilogy, Newsflesh (consisting of Feed, Deadline, and Blackout), and all I can say is - what the hell took me so long? I’d been hearing for years that these books are must-reads.
