Synopsis
The end begins with a viral outbreak unlike anything mankind has ever encountered before. The infected are subject to delirium, fever, a dramatic increase in violent behavior, and a one-hundred percent mortality rate. Death. But it doesn't end there. The victims return from death to walk the earth. When a massive military operation fails to contain the plague of the living dead it escalates into a global pandemic. In one fell swoop, the necessities of life become much more basic. Gone are petty everyday concerns. Gone are the amenities of civilized life. Yet a single law of nature remains: Live, or die. Kill, or be killed. On one side of the world, a battle-hardened General surveys the remnants of his command: a young medic, a veteran photographer, a brash Private, and dozens of refugees, all are his responsibility-all thousands of miles from home. Back in the United States, an Army Colonel discovers the darker side of Morningstar virus and begins to collaborate with a well-known journalist to leak the information to the public...The Morningstar Saga has begun.

Customer Reviews

Not good
Pretty amateurish stuff. I did manage to finish it but I won't be getting any of the sequels.

Stick to THE WALKING DEAD series of graphic novels and you can't go wrong. Better yet: read THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy. Not zombies but the best post apocalypse book you'll ever read.

Zombie-tastic
This book is a great read, once that is you are not expecting award winning literature. Lets face it it's a zombie novel, pretty conventional stuff, but there is a good pace to the action and the characters aren't too bad.

I would probably give the book another star if it wasn't for the over patriotic American overtures, American soldiers going on suicide missions dying for their brothers in arms...I'm heaving, sorry.

If you can look past that it's enjoyable!

Great story - Great Read
One of my favourite in this genre (and I've read nearly everything I think!). OK I am a bit of a sucker for heroes and happy endings - the human spirit and all that. This book is scarey, convincing, global and though terrifying is at the same time uplifting. Recht writes convincingly and his characters are full and likeable - it's the sort of book you see - its written so well its more of a mind film! Definately a must read for the zombie genre.
