Publisher's summary

Get this: you wake up in the hospital. You're not feeling so hot—to put it mildly—and also, you're surrounded by hordes of zombies! After trying to run away, you eventually find a map of the building, but guess what? It's in French! Why? 'Cuz you're in France!

You've got nothing on you but a baseball bat, and the zombies are just one step away from biting you on your bare backside. But don't worry, there's still hope, because you've got your own personal shelter in spacetime.

Really good!

this was really entertaining it was a mix of dark and humorous but do be warned that the author is Russian and if you have listened or read anything by Russian author you know what to expect competent and morally grey MC but also their point of view of men and women. overall it was a good story and im definitely getting the next one when it comes out

Harem, proceed at your own risk

For those who do not enjoy harems, this book is chock full of definite harem accents.

I'm not going to knock this book just because the MC is a misogynist jerk, because the world building it novel and the plot is awesome.

But be warned that the MC is not a hero (which is perfectly fine) and makes no bones about the fact that he's not a hero. What he is, is a man trying to survive after waking in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.

Concept - 5 - Great
world – 4
Story- 4
Character – 1 unrepentant misogynist
Character progr. - 2 perhaps he will become better? I don't know and will not be interested in finding out
Dialogue – great dialogue
writing – awesome
conflict– will he survive or will he fail to secure his little world.

Overall rating = 4
Comment: Read at your own risk, rated for misogyny and harem
