| The Morningstar Strain virus was first seen in Africa, and Anna DeMilio of the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases is the foremost authority on it. Nobody had heeded her plea to quarantine every person anywhere who comes down with this illness. Now it is out of control and spreading globally; when someone dies he is reanimated.
Egypt is lost to the reanimated, so the United States makes a stand at the Suez Canal, but thousands of carriers break through the front line. Only luck enables Special Forces General Shannon and some of his squad, along with a Red Cross volunteer, Julie, to escape by ship to America where, like the rest of the world, the virus owns the metropolitan areas, including much of suburbia. Anna desperately continues her research, hoping to find a miracle elixir, while Shannon and his remaining force wonder how to fight an insurgency from within. This first book in the "Morningstar Trilogy" contains a fresh and unique twist to the zombie mythos, with an Ebola-like virus that reanimates its dead victims. Z. A. Recht has created characters that seem real, especially the medical researcher and the general, as neither is used to failure, but that seems to be their common thread at this time. Plague of the Dead is apocalyptic fiction at its thrilling best. | |||
