We travel with silver circuits on the coverClementine, and while there are no actual ants in this book, the illustration is very well suited. This books puts a unique twist on the ever popular zombie genre. Instead of living corpsesbounty hunter, we have nanobots which can turn humans into machines. They possess a swarm intelligence similar to ants. This sounds far fetched but a great deal of progress has been made in research currently being conducted with just this in mind - to create nanobots with swarm intelligence - a phenomenon well known in the natural sciences in which a less intelligent organism is capable of highly intelligent behaviour through a hive mind. It would be impossible for scientists to control hundreds world without heroes or thousands of nanobots independently - so the idea is to control a few and have these control the rest. Of course there would always be safeguards on this type of technology and there were safeguards in the book as well - they just didn't workhope.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1407124285</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Darren Shan|title=ZOM-B Angels|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary=Ok.

{{newreview|author=Lily Herne|title=Deadlands|rating=5|genre=Teens|summary=I was hesitant to choose this book. I love a good dystopian future book. The problem is, I don't define very many of them as good. I have read far too many zombie books that really don't offer anything different, plenty of blood, gore, and damsels in distress, but not enough character development, or logical thought. Psychological horror can be ever so much more chilling than blood and guts, but it is also much more difficult to pull off. Sarah and Savannah Lotz, Move on the mother and daughter team who have written this book under the pen name Lily Herne, have managed to do this perfectly.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1472100905</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|author=Emma Pass|title=ACID|rating=3|genre=Teens|summary=The UK is now the IRB - Independent Republic of Britain. It's no longer run by elected politicians, who were completely discredited after a catastrophic financial crash. Instead, the IRB is a police state, led by ACID, a fearsomely authoritarian organisation. Marriage has been abandoned in favour of ''life partnering'' - the state tells you who to live with and whether or not you can have a child. Contact with the outside world is forbidden. Society is divided, with a tiny wealthy elite and a huge mass of an underclass living in poverty and shortage.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0552566144</amazonuk>}}[[Newest Emerging Readers Reviews]]
