Z. A. Recht (1983–2009)

The last installment in the Morningstar Strain trilogy quenched my need for a fulfilling ending to the series. Despite the author's passing before the book was finished and having to hire a ghost writer to finish the series, I felt like the pace of the story and action sequences were consistent with the first two books. There were a couple plot decisions that made me question the author's choices and the ending was a tad predictable. However, it was the military shoot 'em up, ask questions later, full throttle zombie apocalypse I loved from the first two books. The story switched points of view as the survivors helped Stiles (the immune) and Anna (the Doctor) work towards a cure. Sawyer was back as the villian using all the forces he could muster to grab the cure for his own needs. A must read for fans of the first two books.… (mer)
