Extinction Horizon by Nicholas Sansbury Smith
2.0
I gave this 2 stars instead of 3 stars because of the looming romance that starts in second act (but was blatantly telegraphed in the first few chapters), wrapped in yet another wacky engineered virus spells doom for human race (excepting the plucky ones and the sexy, single female characters). FFS, how BIG is the market for zombie apocalypse romance??!!
What really soured me was the illogical use of a SpecFor team in a urban war zone that contains hundreds of thousands of enemy combatants. There was little intelligence gathering, sniping is laughably inefficient, and every engagement (predictably) turns into a complete rout and mad dash for safety. It gets ridiculous after their evac leaves them in a war zone for the third time. Completely manufactured for maximum book thrillz and hard to swallow. There is much better out there, trust me.
