A review by anubis9
Plague of the Dead by Z.A. Recht

4.0

A very good book. It's not zombies in the traditional sense, as it is about a virus that transforms you into a mindless raging creature (a la "28 Days Later")that is hell-bent on biting anyone it can find—to spread the virus. But when they die, they do come back as slow shamblers—the traditional "zombie."
The whole viral approach makes the whole thing a little more "believable," and therefore a little more "scary."
There are definitely some tense moments, I I really like that the book begins before the outbreak, so you can follow it from beginning to chaos.
The only real problem, is that the end totally leaves you hanging!
Good thing I've got the second book on order!
