With public patience for Middle East casualties wearing thin, the U.S. military adopts a new weapon - zombies. Air-dropped into hot zones, the walking dead indiscriminately infect everyone. Engineered to dissolve at daybreak, they create a safe combatant-free zone. What could possibly go wrong? From the creator of the Underworld movie franchise.
When a U.S. military zombie operative goes missing in Lebanon, Colonel Matthew Drake is summoned to the Pentagon where he is exposed to the true horrors of the necronites program. Drake's past and future are called into question, with answers to be found only with an undead soldier wandering the desert.
