After reading the original Autumn, I couldn't wait for the sequel. You just have to know what happens to the characters. You HAVE to know. It eats away at you until you do!
David Moody is a very talented writer, and I recommend anything he has written.
Rating:  -
Not the most technically sound writing in publication but very far from the worst. For zombie fans, there really is no such thing as a bad zombie story, but David Moody's work really is something special. Its not your run of the mill flesh eating frenzy type of story and that's refreshing. The Autumn novel's power resides not in their ability to disgust or in the description of violence, but in the psychological despair and utter hopelessness that would be felt by the survivors of a zombie apocalypse. Very emotional, very disturbing, utterly wonderful.

In David Moody's follow-up to the acclaimed zombie novel, Autumn, we are introduced to several new characters. Donna Yorke is an office worker who went in early on that fateful morning when all the world seemed to collapse into utter desolation. Paul Castle was also at work when everyone around him died horrible deaths. Jack Baxter was coming home from work when the apparent disease hit. After hiding out in his home for several days, he ventured out into the vastly changed city where he meets up with Clare, a young girl who helplessly sat and watched her father die and has endured alone on the street while watching the dead rise again. Meanwhile, Doctor Croft and several others have found some comfort and safety hiding within a university accommodation block.
Cooper is a member of the military who has spent weeks in a secret base, hidden from the goings-on of the outside world. When he is ordered to emerge from the base to obtain a status report along with several others, what he finds is more appalling than anyone from that tucked away sanctuary had surmised. When Cooper's military reconnaissance troop leaves him behind, he eventually meets up with the group living within the college dormitories and they all quickly turn to him for some semblance of hope.
However, Emma and Michael, from the previous novel, also make an appearance. Since leaving the farmhouse, the two have been on the run in a motor home, seeking safety. When they come across the military vehicles entering and exiting the nearby hidden base, they decide to find a way into the shelter. It should be noted that these two do not show up until almost halfway through the novel.
Though still just as intriguing as the previous novel, I found many parts to be rather slow. In addition, it was both interesting and tedious to read about the whole ordeal all over again. I found reading about the death and disease from different viewpoints to be a fascinating way to begin the novel. Yet, it also seemed rather redundant in many respects for those who have read the previous novel to have to re-hash the previous occurrences. That does, however, enable people who have not read the novels predecessor to pick up this book without having missed much at all. Furthermore, Moody's zombies don't seem to have evolved much more in this book than they had in the previous one. Throughout the first novel, the risen dead are in constant flux, becoming more and more attuned to their surroundings and evolving ever-so-slightly with each passing day. In Autumn: The City, there seems to be little progression in this respect. Autumn: The City doesn't take the opportunity to build very much off of the foundation laid by it's predecessor.
It should also be noted that this is not a series in which you will find lots of action and gore. The scares and drama found herein are much more subtle. However, that is not to say that these books are any less worthy of a read. They are simply geared less towards the in-your-face splatter horror audience.
Though I didn't find this novel as enthralling as the first, I will still go on to read Autumn: Purification. Despite some minor qualms, I still highly recommend this series to anyone who is a fan of zombie fiction.

I am a great fan of zombie and post apocalyptic horror and have read many books of the genres. However the Autumn series blows them all away. From the very beginning I was totally engrossed and completely ignored all that was going on around me to find out the fates of the very well written characters. These books are well paced and not hurried, the story telling is powerful and the visions described vivid. These books deserve much more attention and praise then it seems they are getting. I discovered them by chance on Amazon. There is also a website (infected books) with more info.
David Moody has written a masterpiece of a series and I would love to congratulate him for it. David, if you read this I think your work is bloody brilliant.

If you were like me you read David Moody's first novel Autumn and were excited about the novel to follow: Autumn: The City. The book is bad I don't know where to start. Probably my biggest disappointment is in Moody's zombies. They are NOT a threat. They stumble along in almost as slowly as the pace of the book. And the book is SLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW! The zombie threat is only in numbers. But they are NOT aggressive. Perhaps Moody is saving the good stuff for the 3rd book. I can only hope so, as I was stupid and bought books 2 and 3 together.
Do yourself a favor and SKIP this one.
