''The Estuary'' is a SurvivalHorror novel by Irish horror novelist DerekGunn. The events of the novel can basically be summarized as “Sleepy tourist town finds submerged Nazi superweapon that creates zombies, wackiness ensues.” Surprising is the fact the novel is actually fairly subdued and subtle about its horror, the action doesn’t begin until well over a hundred pages into the novel.

This novel contains examples of:
* AssholeVictim: Andrew Peters [[spoiler: at first.]]
* ArmiesAreEvil: Unintentionally invoked. The British and Irish governments simultaneously write off Whiteshead with very little fanfare, fully intending to let the entire town die without making any attempt to save its uninfected residents.
* CaptainErsatz: Dave Johnson seems like he's going to be one of James Bond. DerekGunn manages to keep the ex-British Secret Agent this side of plausible.
* DoingInTheWizard: The Nazi superweapon appears to rely entirely on scientific principles, even if they’re of the Handwavium type.
* DoomedHometown: Pretty much the point of the novel for the majority of the protagonists.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Andrew Peters]].
* HeroicSacrifice: Too many to count, apparently zombie plagues bring this out in small Irish cities.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Narrowly averted. Admiral Donitz is integral to the Nazi Zombie plot, but there’s no indications he’s aware of the exact nature of the weapon and is clearly being strong-armed into it.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Hillary.
* LampshadeHanging: The Irish mock the American tendency to assume everyone in the world has huge piles of guns in easy access.
** Another bit has someone call the infected townsfolk “zombies.” While everyone is obviously thinking it, the staggering tastelessness gets him a bunch of dirty looks.
* MostWritersAreWriters: John Pender.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They’re alive scientific zombies who are utterly silent and aren’t necessarily killed by a bullet to the head.
* RescueRomance: Hillary and Martin Taylor. A surprising number of other examples.
* SurvivalHorror: A rare non-game example, it follows the tropes basically to the letter. The townsfolk have one desperate concern, survival.
* ThoseWackyNazis: The zombie plague is of Third Reich origins. In a rare subversion, the ludicrous nature of the bio-weapon is treated with complete seriousness and the author even includes historical figures. They might as well have been preparing to use mustard gas as opposed to a zombie plague.
* TheVirus: Of course.
* ZombieApocalypse: Of the “small city is infected” variety.
