Max and Logan find themselves hiding in an abandoned police station with Elise and her two children as they attempt to gather supplies from the local area. The military group only manages to save a few from the school and they are taken to a safe zone but we see clearly how all the perspectives are linking together. We then meet Breytenbach who is an ex-member of the South African Army's special forces as he travels with a group to rescue a billionaire’s son but they group detour to save a school from the undead. Higgins really manages to capture the panic and sense of isolation the characters are feeling in these moments. Despite there being a lot of perspectives I was actually really enjoying Last Another day despite not being a massive fan of zombie novels.Īs we approach the ¼ mark in the novel we learn through Max a young solider and Morgan’s brother that this isn’t the early stages of the infection, by this point in time it has travelled from Europe to South Africa and infected many countries in between. The next two perspective we are introduced to are Logan and Max as they travel together through the infected town by pure coincidence. We the meet Julianne, who is Morgan’s mother, I loved the fact that Morgan’s chapter ends with her entering her parents’ home and Julianne’s starts hours earlier leading up to where Morgan’s ended and then a little further on. One thing I did notice early on is that there is seven different perspectives, this did have me a little worried because the novel I have read with more than 4 perspective then to lack character development because the author is spending too much time on other characters, so I was eager to see how Higgins would work with this many perspectives. I like the fact we are dropping in the middle of the action from the beginning without having the ominous build-up to it. Zombie try to attack her, tear apart her neighbours and there’s nothing she can do about. Review: The opening to Last another day was great we meet Morgan and hell breaks loose around her.
