The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan

5.0

Yeah, another vampire book. No sparkling, no preternaturally intelligent teens, no baseball. This time an airliner full of dead people lands in New York City and a pair of CDC doctors are off on a vampire hunting quest across the city. The jacket copy is apropos-very much like The Stand, full of action and dark horror. Very highly recommended, though, sadly, the first of a trilogy, so I will have to wait until 2011 to see how it ends.
