This book is the diary of a man surviving in London while Zombies spread across the world, including London. There is only one character in this book, Bill Wright, a political staffer who is recovering at home following an accident in which he broke his leg. As he sits there in his attic flat zombies spread out from New York and take over the world. We don't know what is really happening in the world as Bill doesn't know and we only see things from his limited point of view. It's slow and nothing much happens as he sit and watches the world go by worrying about food and water.

Things pick up a bit after he is forced to leave his flat but it's still just him and the zombies. There are 21 books in this series and I'm very much in two minds about reading anymore.
