This is one of the better zombie books I have read. Sadly, I have wasted long hours reading far too many of them so I'm in a position to know.The set up is good as the protagonist looks for WMD in Iraq during our second go around there. The author presents the reader with the premise that Saddam had them in the form of biological agents that some fanatics managed to spirit away is believable. His later knowledge of viruses is set up nicely by the author giving you background about his education. I could on, but suffice it to say that the plot twists are set up early and therefore made more believable. A lot of forethought (and I would hazard a guess a lot rewriting) went into the book. Spelling and grammar are very good. The plot is original and moves along at a brisk pace. There is enough gore to go around without being tiresome. Research is very good, especially with regard to the military aspects of the book.But it is characters that really drive the book. They are actually developed to a point that you actually care what happens to them. This is rare in a zombie book or any book in the $3.99 price range for that matter. No, it's not War and Peace, but War and Peace didn't have zombies.
