HALO Jumpers, Human Traffickers & Tiger Zombies

"If you don't buy this book, kittens will die. And come on, who doesn't want to save kittens?"
- Someone who loves kittens. "Why do you hate kittens? Do you just hate all good things? Who hurt you?"
- Someone else who loves kittens and is very concerned about your life choices. It's crazy times in West Bengal State, India! Troy Thurston, frat boy trying to redeem himself, is thrust into another zombie outbreak in Darjeeling province (at least this outbreak wasn't his fault). Now he is being chased by zombie elephants, tigers, and . . . squirrels? It may be his job to transport a SEAL team in a high tech stealth helicopter, but they don't like him very much and seem more likely to toss him out. To the south, Jax Spanner's study abroad trip in Kolkata has gone off the rails. There is the rapidly spreading zombie outbreak, the merciless human traffickers, then there are the two mysterious girls who have been kidnapped by them. The girls seem to be center of all the chaos, but Jax isn't sure how or why. What Jax does know is that their neighbors want to save them, the traffickers want to steal them, and the zombies want to eat them. Troy and Jax are going to need a lot of help. The Snog Team Six series is science fiction, fantasy, and humor mashed up in shameless-perfect-proportions. It's a story of scrappy misfits caught up in a fight they didn't pick but they will finish. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter, it's adored by fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus series; Hank Green's Carl Saga; TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea; Garth Nix's Lefthanded Book Sellers; and Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It's irreverent, clever; full of humor and heart. You won't be able to put it down.
