The Boy on the Bridge by M.R. Carey
These books make me sad because ultimately humanity loses. Although not so much as they do in 'The Girl with All the Gifts'. Boy on the Bridge is kind of an adjacent novel to Girl with the Gifts. In this book they go off on a mission to find samples of the fungus and to see if there is a core. The Boy on the Bridge is Steve Greaves. He's on the spectrum. He's a savant It's all about the interplay between the science faction of the expedition and the military faction. There is also bad things going on at the home base of Beacon, which precipitated the need to send this particular group out on the expedition.
Lots of good action. Lots of zombies. But ultimately sad. I think if I remembered The Girl with All the Gifts better there might be more echoes in this book. But it is still good by itself.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
