In a world overrun by the living dead, every victim has a story. These are some of those stories. This collection of six short stories from a world ravaged by the LZR-1143 virus tell the tale of six different people, all of whom fell victim, in different ways, to the deadly plague.
From the pilot of a commercial aircraft, overwhelmed in midair, to the lonely soldier stranded high above a world of the undead, the six characters each face their own fears and mortality in different ways.
This 20,000 word short-story collection features a unique selection of characters from the original zombie novel by Bryan James, LZR-1143 Infection, and from the recently released sequel, LZR-1143 Evolution. Each character appears only fleetingly in the longer novels, but each has their own unique thread in the LZR-1143 storyline, all of which are exposed in these short excerpts from their final hours alive.
The collection includes The Pilot, The Boy, The Inmate, The Fry Cook, The Subway Passenger, and The Sniper. In The Pilot, a commercial aviator sees his last flight end in a way he never could have imagined. In The Boy, a family trip is cut short, and a lonely homecoming is not at all as he anticipated. We see the surprising genesis and true identity of a traveling companion in The Inmate, while The Fry Cook reveals the final moments of a teenage fast food worker. In The Subway Passenger, we learn that in the case of zombie apocalypse, you’d probably rather be aboveground. And in The Sniper, the surprising truth that there are some fates that cannot be fought, even with a fifty caliber rifle.

LZR-1143 Perspectives is a pretty entertaining and effective collection of short stories that introduce the reader the the apocalyptic world of Bryan James’ LZR series. I haven’t read the other books in the series but I do find his writing style to be engaging, effective, and entertaining while telling a traditional zombie story and tweaking it just enough to make it feel original and fresh. Some of the stories worked better than others, but overall I found the book to be a good introduction to James and I plan to read some of his other LZR books based on what I read here.Product details

LZR1143 Perspectives edition by Bryan James Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Once again I have to state this, I really don't usually read anthologies or collections of short stories. But this one was free and it was about zombies, so I gave it a shot.
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS***
So I'll just mention these stories and be brief about them.
The Pilot - It was okay, it gives the perspective of a pilot whose plane is under attack by zombies during a zombie apocalypse. I do have to wonder, if he can't fly a military jet due to his failing eye sight. Why would anyone let him pilot a commercial jet?
The Boy - Okay so the guy makes it home and he hears something upstairs in the bathroom and when he opens the door he sees something so horrifying, so terrifying that he flees from the house in terror. Okay so what did he see? Look, there are very few writers that can leave an ending open like that and have our imaginations do a better job than the writer ever could. Poe and Lovecraft are the only two that spring to mind. And this author is certainly not on their level.
The Fry Cook - This was an awesome story! Anyone who has worked in fast food or at a minimum wage job will love this story and be able to relate to these characters!
The Inmate - It had an awesome story about a serial killer and the zombies don't show up until the very end, but honestly this story was good without them in it. Really it shouldn't be in this book since it has very little to do with zombies.
The Subway Passenger - This was just lame. It makes you realize that the people who are on public transportation with you on your morning commute are just as boring and stupid as you think they are.
The Sniper - Was a good story about a woman sniper who is stuck on a roof during the zombie apocalypse. It had very little to do with zombies, and more about a woman contemplating the mistakes she made in her life.
***END SPOILERS*** ***END SPOILERS*** ***END SPOILERS***
If you're really looking for zombie literature, you aren't missing anything great if you pass it by. But if you're bored, it's worth a read.
So I have to start by saying I haven't read either Infection or Evolution. So going into Perspectives I really didn't know what to expect, I mean besides zombies!!!! lol. Now, I have a new zombie series to stalk, in fact I have Within, a novella set in the LZR world, and I'm picking up Infection and Evolution as soon as I get a chance.
The book itself isn't that long. It is only six separate stories, but man, those stories really pack a punch. It wasn't just the graphicness of the stories either. Don't get me wrong, there was tons of gore, TONS! But some of them really pulled you in and got you caring for that character. Not something easily done in such a short format. There were parts that actually had me close to tears. (Not sayin' why, don't want to spoil nothin'.)
It wasn't all doom and gloom and eating people though, there were some parts that I literally laughed out loud. Mostly one liners, and dark humor, but still funny.
I'm not going to go into detail on every story, but I really had to say I think James hit the nail on the head with Doreen in The Fry Cook. I almost pissed myself at her description of her drive-thru customers. (If you've never worked fast food, it probably won't be that funny. But if you have, it's soooo true!) I'm not gonna say anymore though, again, don't want to spoil anything.
Yes, Perspectives is gory, yes people die, it's a zombie novel, hello?!? But there is more than just gore and death. Through these tiny windows the reader really gets a look at how these people handle the world being eaten around them. Wish I could review more of his books for this challenge, just so I could have an excuse to put them on the top of my reading pile.
In this collection of short stories, Bryan James gives us an intimate look into the final moments of the lives of a handful of individuals. We see through the eyes of a pilot during his last flight, of a teenage boy after his family trip has been cut short, of an inmate residing in (not just any) insane asylum, of a teenage girl's last day employed as a fast food employee, of a subway passenger who never quite reaches his destination, and lastly, we see through the eyes of a sniper as we read the last text messages she sends and receives before her sadness and grief take over. Even though these stories are quite short, the reader still has time to feel something. I recommend this collection to any one who enjoys reading the zombie apocalypse genre, and to those who have read the LZR-1143 series in particular.
LZR-1143 Perspectives is a pretty entertaining and effective collection of short stories that introduce the reader the the apocalyptic world of Bryan James’ LZR series. I haven’t read the other books in the series but I do find his writing style to be engaging, effective, and entertaining while telling a traditional zombie story and tweaking it just enough to make it feel original and fresh.
