They kept us locked in walled cities, away from the unlucky people who got infected.I suppose that made us the lucky ones, but for me it was a pretty tough pill to swallow. Before everything went down - before a combination of rabies and leprosy turned people into something an awful lot like zombies - I was a Maryland doctor, nearing retirement, wealthy and respected, even if I was a pompous ass. In the walled city, all of that disappeared and I had nothing. Not until Rosa showed up one day. She had dreams, making me realize that I had lost mine. If not for her, I would never have escaped. Never seen the world outside the walls. Never known hope again.In the end, after what happened, I wish I never had.-----A best seller in Post Apocalyptic fiction!SPR review: 4.5 stars "The book sets up a believable and in many ways terrifying world, one which takes the zombie genre in a direction that can actually be called unique..."IndieReader review: 4 stars "...the tension steadily builds as the narrative progresses, exploding at certain moments with lively, exciting action scenes and gritty images...""A post apocalyptic environment, and mind set, that is unlike any other I have ever read, and I have read literally over a hundred books by now dealing with post apocalyptic worlds.""I didn't mean to read this all in one day, but I had to stay up to finish it. Normally, I'm able to put even exciting books down and go to sleep, but this one kept me awake and wanting more.""Every bit as good as the Walking Dead series.""1984 mixed with The Stand, but much quicker paced.""I've read a lot of zombie books, and this is one of the most disturbing I've read - because it seems so plausible.""Keith Soares turns the world upside down in this page turner, giving readers an all-too-plausible look at what can happen. Tight dialogue and a fast-paced plot make Oasis of Filth one to be remembered."
