Book Review: Sea Sick (Ravaged World #1) by Iain Rob Wright


I will give this book 5 stars. IT served the purpose it was supposed to do. 

This is the 5 book within the damnienverse which include Sam, Asbo, Final Winter, Housemates (already read), then we've got Ravaged World series which this one is the first and finally there is another series called Hell on Earth.

In this book we follow Jack Wardsley which is a police officer but due to some past offences in the force had to take a break. So on he goes in a cruised called The Spirit of Kirkpatrick (which was something hinted on The Housemates). Apart from that mention, there is also the mention of Black Remedy company - think Umbrella Corporation. You can enter this novel without anything else read.

Right from the start we are introduced to a couple of characters like Jack, Claire a young woman  who has a brute of a boyfriend, holly a young girl and her parents (who it hinted to be connected to another novel or my name isn't Paulo) Tally the romani waitress & Joma (another waiter) then all hell breaks lose and we have zombies all around us.

In the second day he kindy feel deja vu, but on the third day , he understand something is happening. It's groundhog day on a ship with zombies. So with each day you follow Rob trying to find out what is happening but soon after several dozens times you see him change and even killing himself just to wake up at 14h as alwalys. After a while he understands that there is one of the persons he met that is like him and remember the day and so they talk and he is told that there is a being resetting time again and again. IT seems it's something that must be done so something can be change. After several dozen days or probably hundred he meets Donovan which is a security guard guarding some money and medicine in the last deck.

After he meets all of these people he understand that something must be done and the story goes berserk with the pace - although all the book reads quite fast. I read this book under 3h. I started on the 29th of august for a hour and finish on the 30 within 1h30. 

I enjoyed and I want to read the second novel on the trilogy. Probably going to buy the remaining books. 92/100
