Product Description

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.

The Nuts? I'd say so.....
I loved this book and i can't wait to get the sequel which has just come out and ive ordered and now i'd like to shamelessly plug my own book at the expense of a small quotation on Amazon here in the united states seeing as im from the UK and you know what us Brits are like, we love to blow our own - Please be a good citizen, do wonders for our overseas relationship and buy Deathday by Eugene Bruce (23rd in the list if you type my name in) I love you America!

Great Book
Check out Z. A. Recht for zombie lit. This book is great, and the second of the series is even better. Be prepaired to lose sleep over the Morningstar Saga. I just couldn't stop at bedtime.

Better by Far
I've just finished this first book in the Morningstar Strain saga, and I've got to say, it rocked my socks off.

Plague of the Dead is better by far than David Wellington's zombie trilogy and J.L. Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon combined.

The inclusion of both speed zombies (for lack of a better way to put it) is brilliantly handled, as is the detailing of the initial containment attempts.

I would recommend this to any enthusiast of zombie lit. To borrow from Stan Lee, excelsior!
