A virus has inadvertently escaped from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, USA.
Patient Zero is a recently retired US scientist on board a plane bound for London Heathrow when he 'turns' during the flight, infecting most of the passengers and crew.
Chaos ensues, but the remaining cabin crew manage to contain the situation long enough to allow the pilot to land the plane safely.
The Security Services on the ground are sceptical about the Mayday call received from the plane, and although they take some precautions, they believe they are dealing with a hi-jack situation and are wholly unprepared for what is about to hit them. Zombies swamp the airport, although many of the injured manage to escape through the various transport networks, spreading the virus rapidly throughout London and nearby towns and cities.
The story follows the first three days of the zombie outbreak and the survivors' attempts to contain the threat, stay alive and fight back.
The start of the book was really exciting and then it kinda hit a plateau. I've got a favourite character already in Issy but that's 'cause it was mainly focused on her and her Killing Crew. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I would probably suggest a little more action and not so much detail at the leaders meetings. It just seemed too easy do what they did. Not saying I will not try Book 2 as there was a sense of other groups that maybe a little shady and that may give us a little more action but this one was a little too detailed in then on zombie parts.
This book was as bit different and I enjoyed it. Instead of a small group, police, military, and civilians worked to make Heathrow Airport their safe haven. Many twists and surprises in the plot line. The characters are on their way to being very well developed. I look forward to another book
I love books about the zombie apocalypse and this one kept me interested. The book was fast-paced and detailed. The mark of a well written and coherent book. I Would definitely recommend this book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. The author did an awesome job in creating characters and background for the story. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody!
