The first novel is narrated by Georgia (George) Mason, a ‘Newsie’ who, with her adopted brother Shaun (an ‘Irwin’ – a breed of bloggers named after Steve Irwin because of their habit of poking things – in this case dead, or undead, things – with sticks!), and Buffy (a ‘Fictional’ as well as the team’s tech guru), have been selected to cover the presidential campaign of Peter Ryman on their news blogsite.

While the undead are central and fairly crucial to the series, it is the twisting, turning politics, the science and the characters which I feel really make the books so darn cool. TEHANI: My favourite way to describe the first book of the trilogy, Feed (2010), is as a science fiction political thriller (with zombies).

The truth will out, even if it kills them. Now, twenty years after the Rising, Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives-the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. Feed is an electrifying and critically acclaimed novel of a world a half-step from our own that the New York Times calls “Astonishing” - a novel of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all - from New York Times bestseller Mira Grant.
