Does girl's soccer coach, Cole, have the right stuff to survive enraged humans infected with a mind controlling fungus?It seems that the cordyceps fungus has mutated and can now infect humans.  The mind controlling fungus was previously only a problem for the insect population, but it has now found a new host with a more complex brain.Everyone could be a potential infected.  Some are obvious, but the fungus has become sneaky.  Even the people you trust could be potentially infected.  They may be waiting to make you a new willing host.Scary and intense, this books stars Cole, Shelley, and Nizzam,  three friends trying their best to get safely out of the hot zone.The book was extremely well done.  With a scary general pulling the strings and a wacked out CDC doc, you will be clutching your kindle with fear.Was this an original premise?  No, but it was more original than most.  Zombie ants are ants infected with cordyceps.  It was a great use of actual science, and it was very well thought out.  The scientific premise was substantiated and explained.  Great story!  Great dialogue!
