This was a free download.

The beginning part, about the Roswell alien crash was pretty interesting. Then the story got confusing. Apparently, the aliens can turn humans into walkers, or vampires. It is an interesting idea for a story, but the writing style had me a little confused.

Each section seems to be a jump of several years, but I had a difficult time seeing how they were related. Jumping to a new point of view and a new narrator so many times made it hard to keep the story straight in my mind. The writing seemed very clinical and emotionless to me, like I was reading a scientific report. I felt no connection to any of the characters.

This could turn into a good book, if more time is spent on the characters, so we have someone to root for. ( )

[b:Walker|297929|Urban Shaman (Walker Papers, #1)|C.E. Murphy|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298496352s/297929.jpg|289053] is available to read free on GoodReads.

This novella - vignette? - cunningly mixed sci-fi and fantasy fiction. It melded some general tropes in interesting ways that reminded me a bit of [b:Dead Space|5850806|Dead Space|Antony Johnston|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255758379s/5850806.jpg|6022947] and the prologue of [b:Spin the Sky|13584828|Spin the Sky|Katy Stauber|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1340745851s/13584828.jpg|19171915]. Just a bit, though. Not too much. While some of the tropes are common, I'm not entirely certain that this hasn't been done before. I'm not well enough read in scifi to say such.

While the concepts were interesting, I wasn't too fond of the execution. The piece read a bit too much like an outline or a rough draft for my taste. While the expansion potential was very high - there's a novel, or even a series hiding in there - I had trouble getting into the style and understanding what was going on from scene to scene. The piece would benefit from a rewrite expanding the ideas and focusing more on each character.

I wanted to feel in the piece rather than an outside observer. I wanted to be more attached to each of the characters and truly understand the system that the Watchers, Walkers, and Hybrids were forced into and make sense of the social structure. There's enough to be drawn upon to make this something much bigger, and I hope that [a:Chad Schimke|5624972|Chad Schimke|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1329630119p2/5624972.jpg] realizes that and works with it.

I received this book via a librarything.com giveaway.

This one I had a hard time getting through. I was excited to see it had to do with zombies, but in the end it couldn't keep my attention. I wasn't sure who everyone was and where the novelette was going.

I have read your other works and have enjoyed them. This one I just didn't enjoy as much. ( )

Not the most memorable; which for a novelette, is rather important. Stuck in the newest genre, zombies, the plot isn't well done, and the characters are far from good. Not worth the read. (Sorry, I really like your other stuff!) ( )

In 1950, a top secret internal communication was an official United States government memorandum, which read as follows. An investigator for the Air Force observed the wreckage of a flying saucer. It was recovered in Roswell, New Mexico.

Their religion was devotion to the human soul. Their sustenance was its flesh and blood. Their limitless love reached out, to what on the surface, they appeared to be. But they were not, that was an illusion.
