ABOUT THE SERIES

       Isadora Fleming is an agent with MI-6.
       She prefers to call it the Secret Intelligence Service and corrects those who call it MI-6 but regardless of the name, that is the organization for which she has proven to such a valuable asset. She is not a spy and would chuckle, or frown, at someone making such a suggestion. She has no interest in being one for she knows what she is good at and she will stick with it.
       She kills people.
       Fleming was born Isadora Minerovich of the small Eastern European nation of Serezovnia ruled with an iron fist from the Soviet leadership in Moscow. Her father was one of a revolutionary band who was murdered by a General Presnyakov of that nation's secret police. When her mother objected, she was killed as well. In the next room, a frightened five-year old Isadora awaited her own death. The soldier ordered to seek her out and kill her took pity on the little girl and took her to safety. After a while she was eventually smuggled into the U.K where she was adopted her and her last name changed so no one from her previous country could track her down.
       We meet her when, after a brief recap of what was mentioned above, she is in the British military, age 21. Despite what her instructors would tell her, she was proving an excellent student and her abilities, plus her background, brought her to the attention of a talent scout for the SIS, a major piece of work named Broadbent. He offered her a position and she took it.
       She would continue to work for Broadbent, growing to distrust and hate the man more and more, for quite a few years before the coming of the apocalypse. The zombie apocalypse.
       After that, things get very, very strange.

MY COMMENTS

       Oh boy! What an interesting series. But where to start?
       First off, the writing is really good. Things move swiftly and smoothly and the prose is done so well that the reader flows along with it easily.
       That said, things jump around a whole lot so it is very important to pay attention to the start of chapters just in case there is a date mention.
       First off, there is the book, which came first, talking about how the whole zombie mess got started and how it really destroyed the civilized world. That introduces us to Fleming along with a bunch of other interesting and important characters.
       Then, according to the author, he could not get her out of his head so he wrote a couple of novellas about her. That shows her back story and some of the adventures she had before things went to heck in a hand basket. Interestingly, the first novella is really a collection of short stories, all dealing with her previous life.
       After that novella, we move forward and backward in her career and you never know exactly what period you are going to deal with until you read that date tag.
       So, can it be a bit confusing? Yep. Is it fun? Oh boy, is it.
