MWSA Review
Marvin J. Wolf’s The Zombie Deception finds Army CID agents Chelmin and Spaulding reunited to look for missing American servicemembers, who are disappearing from Fort Rucker. Along the way they run into a well organized, well armed criminal organization passing millions of dollars in counterfeit currency around Alabama.
This is the second installment featuring the quietly heroic Spaulding and the grumpy veteran cop Chelmin, and their partnership is both entertaining and effective. They are tasked by an Army general to get to the bottom of this mess not only before more lives are lost, but also before the general’s career is ruined. The action is entertaining and fast paced, and the characters are likeable but not flawless. One thing that made the main character Spaulding particularly real is his reluctant acceptance of his mission; he really only wants to fly Army helicopters, but his unique skill set as a police detective before he enlisted draws the attention of a general who wants this case solved as soon as possible. That general wants to bring every asset to the fight, and sees Spaulding as one very valuable asset.
Those who enjoy tech thrillers and military thrillers will find a lot to like in this book, and will look forward to any future Spaulding-Chelmin operations.
