"2014 Winner Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror"A single raindrop opens a Pandora s box of horrors when the spawn of perverse genetic research performed during World War II refined by Cold War enemies and perfected by nature are unleashed on an unsuspecting world. By dawn, only a dead city remains, eerily quiet and still, except for the mutant beasts who hide from the light, multiply, and await the shadows of day s end. Ordered to investigate the unfolding crisis, bio-warfare specialist Carolyn Ridenour barely escapes the creatures nocturnal onslaught, saved in the nick of time by Colonel Garrett Hoffmann, who has lost hundreds of his troops to the mutant army that neither bombs nor bullets can break. As Carolyn and Garrett race to stop the plague, a battered and broken US government is preparing to release the fury of America s nuclear arsenal on its own soil."

Mehso-so

It's an apocalyptic thriller in which a Cold-War-era bioweapon gets loose in the Midwest, mutating rats and birds and humans into killing machines. It's all implausible fun until it turns into a political thriller. involving a U.S. President, an ex-Soviet spy, and treason. It's ridiculous in specifics, and I wish it were ridiculous in premise but, you know, ... news. Anyway, the politics cuts the mayhem, and in the end I found it just okay.
