I dug this one from Jonathan Maberry. A fast and brutal military thriller / zombie horror romp. Lot's of Rambo-esque kicking ass action and some truly frightening zombies. Joe Ledger is a great character and I look forward to checking out more of this series. 4.5+ Stars. Highly Recommended.

A gripping, fun read. I enjoyed Maberry's Pine Deep trilogy, but this book surpasses that and I look forward to reading Joe Ledger and his team again.
