Plague of the Dead

GREAT BOOK!!!
Well, I didn't rear it, i listened to it on audio book purchased from Audible, but either way it is a great story!
Written by Z.A Recht It is a story about Lt. Colonel Anna Demilio of the USAMRIID. She knows the danger of this new viruse the called the Morningstar Virus.The goverment plays down the advances of the virus in Africa despite Demilio's warnings. The story follows the US soldiers and refugee civilians from Africa to the the USA all the while running from the Morningstar Strain. No one was properly notified due to the efforts of the government to hush it up.
The phrase "zombie" is only used in the story 2 times because they really aren't your classical per se "Zombie". The newley infected are still alive and are called "sprinters" due to the way they run at top speed and never tire. Once a sprinter is killed, (and by the way, they won't die on their own) they become a "Shambler" which is mor of your classic mindless zombie on the hunt for flesh and brains.
This take on a strain of a virus that takes over the world makes for a very "edge of your seat- white knuckled" story. If you are a fan of the undead, I really suggest this as a read, or listen.
