Book Description
Today’s #1 New York Times bestselling thriller writers agree: Ryan Brown’s compulsively readable first novel is unbeatable—a darkly humorous, rich and pungent zombie shocker that melds our national obsession with football and the newest wave of fascination with the undead. For the first time in Killington High School history, the Jackrabbits football team is one win away from the district championship where it will face its most vicious rival, the Elmwood Heights Badgers. On the way to the game, the Jackrabbits’ bus plunges into a river, killing every player except for bad-boy quarterback Cole Logan who is certain the crash was no accident—given that Cole himself was severely injured in a brutal attack by three ski-masked men earlier that day. Bent on payback, Cole turns to a mysterious fan skilled in black magic to resurrect his teammates. But unless the undead Jackrabbits defeat their murderous rival on the field, the team is destined for hell. In a desperate race against time, with only his coach’s clever daughter, Savannah Hickman, to assist him, Cole must lead his zombie team to victory. . . in a final showdown where the stakes aren’t just life or death—but damnation or salvation. Boundlessly imaginative and thrillingly satisfying, Play Dead gives small-town Texas an electrifying jolt of the supernatural, and is unquestioningly The Zombie Novel of the Year!
The Comeback Story of the Season . . .
My thoughts
It’s all about winning the championship game when it comes to serious high school football. And some town are just plain serious about. You’ve got the Badgers who want to win at all costs, they set up a prank to stop the Jackrabbits from making it to the game and have to forfeit. Unfortunately, the prank goes awry and the whole team is lost. All but the star quarterback and with the help of the local witch, they bring back the team to play the final game. And that’s Ryan Brown’s Play Dead in a nutshell. I found this to be a fun and quick read. Not much into the football scene but certainly enjoy them zombies!
