Several months have passed since Zombies have take over NY and humans are fighting a losing battle. Dekalb leaves Africa on a ship going to New York in pursuit of AID medicine in order to exchange it for his daughter back in Africa. And off course his encounters with the Zombies, and survivors, lead him to a journey. But when they meet Gary, a zombie who says he's in control of his zombie characteristics, referred to as “homo-mortis”, their journey takes a different path.
The action is constant and Wellington makes his zombies more threatening than before by simply investigating more into the “why” and the “how” zombies operate.
Wellington does a unique job of creating a post-zombie world, emphasizing the point that Third World and war-torn countries are most likely to be the most resilient against it. The combination of current world issues, African kidnapping, poverty, AIDS and so on, together with the characteristics that the genre of Zombie brings, gives this work it's unique touch. Wellington also decides to tell some of the story not from the POV of Dekalb - which in my opinion works really well as the audience feels they are getting a less subjective story, and thus becomes more believable.
Unlike what many zombie movies/books need, The Monster is actually pretty fast paste. Dekalb, someone in hunt of the savior treasure for his daughter is, by definition, liked by his audience.
