Flu
Wayne Simmons
"A deadly strain of flu mutates, causing the deaths of millions throughout Ireland and beyond. But the infected don't stay dead for long, rising up to become flesh-eating monsters. Geri McConnell is a survivor. Through the graffiti-stained streets of Belfast she runs, determined to stay one step ahead of the ever-increasing hordes of living dead. In neighboring Finaghy, God-fearing Karen looks to the stoic and level-headed Pat Flynn for a paternal figure. But with a checkered past as an IRA gunrunner, Pat is battling demons of his own. Meanwhile what remains of the military congregate in a run-down base thirty miles south of Belfast. And the virus is airborne. Anyone can become infected"--Page [4] cover.
