About this ebook
The “zombie apocalypse,” once on the fringes of horror, has become one of the most buzzworthy genres in popular culture. Now, in Plague of the Dead, Z.A. Recht delivers an intelligent, gripping thriller that will leave both new and die-hard zombie fans breathless.
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. But it doesn’t end there. The victims return from death to walk the earth. When a massive military operation fails to contain 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...and the Morningstar Saga has begun.

Not good by any stretch of the imagination. It would be a compliment to call the characters are interchangeable. Their only defining characteristics are things like: man, scientist, military guy. The decisions that the General makes without even a consideration of whether he was abdicating his oath and honor belied both an ignorance of the motivations of those who serve and an unwillingness to address anything but the most facil aspects of the apocalyptic genre.

In this book ( compared to other zombie books) the auther spends alot of time explaining the morning star strain and not alot of zombie action..although there is some...for a zombie book it was a bit of a thinker for me...but i thought it was good however not as good as some others ive read. if your into zombie fiction you'll like it
