I've noticed that a number of indies are from the "No s**t, there I was..." school of story telling that is so popular when shooting the breeze with your buddies in a bar. Basically, they want to jump to the "good stuff" without build up or setting the stage. Zombie Apocalypse books are well known for this sort of style.
