What’s ‘All That I See’ About?
The zombie apocalypse rages on. In the small town of Clayfield, Kentucky, survivors attempt to carve out new lives for themselves. There is hope that eventually Clayfield can be secured, but first the undead must be eliminated and law and order must be restored. Unfortunately, the survivors might not ever get to implement their plan. Gangs of looters continue to strike the town and news filters in that something worse could be coming.
Our ‘All That I See’ Review
Book 2 of the King of Clayfield saga takes up maybe a few weeks following the events that took place in Book 1. Our intrepid former museum director is still reeling from the loss of the love of his life while attempting to survive the victims of Canton-B. Determined to survive; he and Sara have gathered supplies that they hope will see them through. However, there are other groups out there besides just the people they have encountered in Book 1.
Taking refuge at a horse ranch, the main reason was its location and the ability for the property to sustain livestock and a garden, he and Sara work on starting over. But, a chance encounter with another survivor, Corndog, brings them into contact with another group that does not share their view on how to survive. Instead, this new group is more like the biker gang at the end of the original Dawn of the Dead. They are out to loot, rape and pillage.
Sending Sara off to relative safety, he is captured by this new group and taken to a location that pits him against one of the gang in a small version of Thunderdome reminiscent of the third Mad Max film. He escapes, lets the infected into the gang compound, and sets out looking for Sara.
Events transpire as they have a way of doing, and he encounters the remnants of the school group who have left the school and are now in a more remote location. While under their tender loving care, handcuffed to a pipe, he finds another character from Book 1, city councilman Summerville.
This group, made up of a nurse, doctor, fireman, a former police officer and others too cowed by the authority alpha male authority figures to stand up the treatment of the councilman and our museum director, have changed from the last time he encountered them. Left behind with the wounded councilman, he expects that his last moments will be of the infected eating him when, surprisingly, the doctor returns to rescue him and treat Summerville’s wounds. In a strange twist that I admit I didn’t see coming, the doctor is not really that nice of a guy and definitely a person that has been changed by the outbreak of Canton-B. Running into other survivors and how they have been affected by the outbreak is quite interesting and shows that there is a demographic of society that are only holding onto sanity by the merest grip of their fingertips.
Shane Gregory’s King of Clayfield is an incredible story of one man and he fights to survive in a changed world. There are plenty of plot twists and character introductions and development that make this series one to read.
