SAVAGE
BY IAIN ROB WRIGHT
Savage is a follow up to Ian Rob Wright’s zombie apocalyptic horror novel Ravage which actually forms part of a 3 book series although each book can be read as stand alone stories if the reader decides too or like me just doesn’t figure until it’s too late!
Anna & Rene are to only two surviving members of the first book but this story picks up after they had fled the fairground to seek refuge, they fled with 2 others as the group headed south but the new unforgiving world as it has now become meant that they lost 2 members of the group to the zombies before they finally found a safe place to call home. They join up with another groups of survivors on the Devonshire coast where they have made a fairly recently rebuilt pier into a camp where the dead have been kept out using the piers steel entrance gates. The pier had other advantages such as the group could fish off the pier and collect the sea's rich bounty of fish as supplies in the rivers, ocean’s, and sea’s had dramatically increased after the out break as no one or very few where alive to fish the waters anymore.
The pier folk still needed other supplies such as medical, alternate sources of food and water and also survival tools to keep the pier safe from the roaming dead. The leader of the group of foragers is a man called Garfield, he's a troubled soul who seems to be intent on acting like a father figure to Poppy a young girl he found inside her families home waiting for her parents to get better after they became quickly sick. Garfield and the groups foragers where finding it more and more difficult to find new items as time goes on as they have already picked the area clean but while out searching one day they returned to the pier with more than they could ever bargain for but it is something that will have dramatic consequences to the piers inhabitants forever.
Off the coast of England is an armada of small boats flanking a Royal Navy Frigate called "The Kirkland" captained by Samuel Raymeady who is the multimillionaire owner of the "Black Remedy who where the shipbuilders who actually built the boat in the first place. One of the captains trusted men is sent to land in the hunt for a traitor but when he returns to the “Kirkland” the captain is far from impressed and unleashes his wrath that will have dramatic consciences for everyone and in doing so casts questions of the so called good captain.
This is a brilliant read, I have read many books of this genre but these are easily in my collection of top books in the genre. Iain Rob Wright has put a new twist on the genre where the reader is left wondering who should the world fear more the Dead or the Living.
If you intend to read these books the suggested order to read these is as follow’s SEASICK, RAVAGE & SAVAGE, although I never read them in that order in fact I have still got SEASICK to read.
