Publisher's Synopsis
Don't mess with the Coasties! The Coast Guard boards the Molly to enforce the quarantine law. The federal cordon sanitaire encompasses the southeast coastal states. In the Zone, Americans have no rights. The Navy awaits in the Atlantic Ocean to sink boats and launch aircraft carrying deadly payloads. Living on the trawler, the group must figure out the next level to their survival.
The biggest pestilent R140 vector species appears. Some are in Dock Cat's wheelhouse, and she wants in on the combat. Mullen exceeds his screaming horror movie blond embarrassment. Syanna Lynn turns nice on Sullivan's painkillers, while Phebe learns to shoot an AR-15 with a bad haircut. The final viral stage of the first wave of the infected begins, making George Romero's living dead apropos. The 'zoms' are terrified of the flooding in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, offering Chris and Matt some keep-away games with slow zombies. Is a fresh wave incubating? Meanwhile, sharks eat the dead, zoo animals run down the streets, and the Navy murders a brown pelican.
