Plague of the Dead

Synopsis

Product Description 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 of the 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. . . . “HYPNOTICALLY READABLE.” — R.
