Synopsis

It starts in a laboratory. A man-made strain of flesh-eating virus. Created by a power-hungry cartel. Capable of turning victims into brain-dead carnivores. Smuggled aboard a cruise ship that's about to set sail . . .

One by one, the passengers are exposed. A U.S. senator. A young couple. An undercover agent. A beautiful assassin. Some will be infected. Others will survive. But no one will be spared if the outbreak isn't contained and the dead outnumber the living.

Enter Delta Force operative Juan Perez. He's fought the deadliest killers in the darkest hellholes on earth. But he's never seen anything like this—an apocalyptic cargo of pure zombie mayhem heading for the coast. If Perez and his SEAL team can't stop it, America, and quickly the entire population of the world, are finished. The plague years will begin . . .

Goodreads review by Paulo "paper books only" on February 25, 2023

If I had to decide between a grade from 1 to 10 I would rate 7. Having read another novel by the author which I think it was better. (Dead City). This one is a stand alone zombie stuff not set on Dead World or Deadlands. I think he wanted to write a sequel (at least the ending hinted on that) but nev......more
