"The end begins with an unprecedented viral outbreak: Morningstar. The infected are subject to delirium, fever, violent behavior...and a one hundred percent mortality rate. But the end is only the beginning: The victims return from death to walk the earth. When a massive military operation fails to contain the plague ofthe living dead, it escalates into a worldwide pandemic. Now, a single law of nature dominates the global landscape: Live or die, kill or be killed. On one side of the world, thousands of miles from home, 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. While in the United States, an army colonel discovers the darker side of Morningstar and collaborates with a well-known journalist to leak the information to the public...."--P. [4] of cover.… (plus d'informations)

I can't even give it 3 stars because that would indicate it's average - even if only average for a zombie book - but it's not. The zombies are cool, and the plot could have been tight but there was too... much... stupidity.

"They" (who are they? author never tells us) collect a news-broadcaster, lock her up in a damp cell and torture her like she's Osama himself. Since there was nothing in the story that indicates this character knew ANYTHING about ANYTHING, this torture is stupid, but even worse is that she "held out" against it. If you know nothing about something, why hold out? And if you're not a professional terrorist, how could you hold out?

It's frustrating when authors write stereotype behaviors that create some action, but have no realistic component. For a specific example: a building is being overrun by zombies, and the city is about to fall to zombies and yet a guy in some black-ops organization spends man-power and time to hunt down some other guy who helped the previously mentioned tortured-for-no-reason victim escape. Anyone not brain-damaged would a) escape or b) help in the defense of his nation/family/city/etc. Nobody is going to go hunt down one guy to "teach him a lesson", at least not if you have to wade through thousands of zombies first.

Oh, and there's also the military guy who has qualms about killing someone who is about to turn into a zombie: 'I can't kill him, he's still human' when in about 30 seconds he's going to try to start munching on you.

Hey, did that zombie LOOK at me? Pass me the gun. ( )

Six out of ten. A viral outbreak with a 100% mortality rate and the ability to raise the dead and return them to walk the earth. A massive secret military operation fails to save the world and as the pandemic escalates we see the beginnings of a global catastrophe. ( )

The end of the world as a result of a pandemic. An entertaining book which centres on the trials and tribulations of two groups of survivors and their efforts to join with each other. ( )
