  <default_description>When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills... and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills.&#160; And that's both a good, and a bad thing.&#160; It's good because he's a Baltimore detective that has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new taskforce created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid response group is called the Department of Military Sciences or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance....</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Jonathan Maberry put together an outstanding story that should draw to all types of sofa heroes due to the content:<br/><br/>1. A hot chick with a foreign accent.<br/>2. Loads of fighting and violence.<br/>3. A covert governement organization with nearly limitless power.<br/>4. Zombies!!!<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70848588">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It took me about five pages to become hooked on this one. I'm not always a fan of first-person narratives, but this one did something a little different. It focused the first-person on the events involving the main character, Joe Ledger, while the segments that did not involve him were third-person ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58529602">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Joe Ledger was recruited to head up a special/secret team to infiltrate and stop a bio-hazard terrorist attack - an attack of zombies.  Watch out - you don't want to get bitten!  That right there would have kept me from reading this book.  But, the Goodreads book giveaways have given me a chance to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55778322">more...</a>]]></body>

The one thing I never choose to read, however, is any of that &quot;government agency&quot; or &quot;action&quot; books.

    <body><![CDATA[I am so glad I won this book through &quot;first-reads&quot; here on Goodreads.  As much as I like a good zombie story, the political-thriller genre is not one I'm drawn to read in most cases.  However, Maberry has done such a fine job of blending the two this very nearly became a &quot;can't put it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50503660">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked the unique writing style of this book. The perspective from Joe Ledger is written first-person, while the remainder is written third-person. The narrative shift is an interesting format, and I really liked it.<br/>I found I could get behind Joe Ledger as a character.
