Canni by Daniel O’ Connor
I have read many zombie books and this one is definitely different from the others. While most zombie books dwell heavily on the anger and destruction of civilization, Canni puts emphasis on the humanity of mankind.
Rob and Cash, with their friend Teresa, are on their way to Las Vegas for a needed vacation and marriage ceremony. Along the way, a lethal airborne virus is released over America. People start to show aggressive behaviors and turn on their friends and family. Rob, Cash, and Teresa, meet lots of people on the road to their vacation, and end up getting stuck in Las Vegas and meet more people. Everyone has a role to play during the escalation of the virus.
Daniel O’Connor brings to us the compassion that is often left out in zombie books. O’Connor easily gives us the history of our main characters while also keeping the flow of the story. At times, it might seem that a lot of the information about the scene or the commentary that a person has, is too much. But I found this to be beneficial to the story, to bring us the brotherly love that is missing in zombie books. This isn’t to say there is no gore or anxious plot twists, there is plenty of that too. All I am saying is you will be reading about ALL sides of morality.
I was also able to make some extra notes on how to survive an apocalypse. One thing I never thought to have on hand at the end of the world, is a spare tire!
