3.0

A comet streaks across the night sky, drawing people outdoors to view the celestial display. But its beauty hides a sinister secret . . . a mutant virus that spreads across the United States. The disease is fatal, yet its victims come back to life--with a voracious appetite for HUMAN FLESH!!

Right okay, this sounded awesome due to that summary and on the front cover of the book it says "The Most Acclaimed Novel Of Epic Terror Since The Stand"

So I was instantly interested because The Stand by Stephen King is my favourite book of all time.

BUT.. to make that claim is just plain silly.

Wet Work was a moderately good novel, it was a interesting take on the zombie genre, they're able to drive cars and make phone calls...yes seriously!! 

It's not your traditional zombie story, it's more of a CIA/Military story and reads like an Andy McNab book.

There's lot's of blood, gore, bullets and brains in this one.
