Tooth and Nail features "infected", not "zombies", and the virus is a genetically altered mutation of the rabies virus. So not exactly zombies, but similar, though it reads like a true zombie book.

For a zombie-type book, it had enough of a different bent that it wasn't like just reading another self-published fanboy/fanfic piece focused on guns, gore, guts and rape scenes.

This book has a great premise, a good story arc, and good intentions. It does not, however, have a good execution.

The world goes viral and America's military is recalled stateside from overseas operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to major cities such as New York, to protect its citizens - against itself.

This story focuses on how a group of military men deal with the zombie apocalypse. Interesting change from the traditional zombie story in that these men remain part of the military and do not define their mission as the protection of civilians. They are still looking for and taking orders. Also interesting for the look inside the minds of young military men - note that there are no real female characters.

Very military-oriented. In fact, the civilians are just part of the background environment as the story follows several military units. Great book with lots of suspense and action. I finished half the book the first night I started reading.

I don't know how accurate all the military lingo is but I guess I'll find out when my husband is done reading it.

A definite must-read for any zombie/ apocalypse fan. Although, the "zombies" aren't really dead but are very similar to the people in 28 Days Later ...more
