Edward W. Robertson (Author)

Book Description

For the settlers of Mars, the underground tunnels of Hobbiton protect them from the airless cold. But when a zombie outbreak hits the city, the survivors have nowhere to run.

Doane and his friends take refuge in a domed park. Behind its sealed airlock, they're safe--but when Doane gets a call from his little brother telling him their parents haven't gotten home yet, he'll have to head back into the tunnels armed with nothing more than a flower stand and his kung fu.

The Zombies of Hobbiton is a novella of approximately 80 pages / 24,000 words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now we've got Zombies on Mars! April 8, 2012

This is a neat Zombie story. Take a few teens at the mall (actually a domed park on Mars), then add Zombies. The story setting on Mars helped make this Zombie story quite different than those taking place here on a post-apocalyptic earth.
The writing style flows smoothly. The main characters are quite likeable.
Although there are some light-hearted moments, it really is about surviving against some very serious odds. These young folks give it their all!

Really, this type of story is rather boring and takes two genres; space colonies and zombies and tries to combine them. Note tries. It fails miserable. I would strongly ask to avoid it.

Don't worry, there will be no spam. Except possibly the can-shaped meat kind of spam, and only if there really is an apocalypse. Even then, I'd probably just eat the neighbor's lawn instead.
