War Dead is a four-part zombie novel, in which military and health
organizations around the world battle time and the undead in an
attempt to get valuable research data to the US Army Medical Research
Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland. There, an
antiviral for the Acute Reanimation Syndrome (ARS) virus is being
developed.
The novel has main characters from each region, two of
which are half-zombies, and all the stories are intertwined with one
another.
Part
I: War of the Dead
A zombified Marine lieutenant injected with
the antiviral is brought back to half-life but finds himself caught
between human and zombie, and reconsiders which side he should fight
on.
Part I, Chapter III
When Keith Saunders awoke his skin was drawn and sickly like a corpse and his mind was blank, except for one driving thought: Meat — fresh meat. Atop of him was a reanimate corpse with a severe gunshot wound to its head; he pushed it off, rose and joined the others of his kind. The large group of reanimates bumped into one another as they aimlessly roamed the lobby.
Up and down, from lobby to maintenance tunnel level the errant freight elevator came and went, which attracted the attention of some of the reanimates, including Saunders. As the elevator door opened again, he and seven others stepped into the car, and it descended once again.

Part
II: Escape from the Dead
With
time running out, a European CDC security team faces insurmountable
odds against zombies and a hostile military faction attempting to get
their antiviral to an awaiting military transport plane that will
take them to a US military base.
Part
III: Call to Arms
A Canadian helicopter team arrives at a US
military outpost for an exchange to acquire a batch of antiviral but
finds themselves betrayed and stranded. Having learned of High
Command’s treacheries, a rogue team of Marines led by a sympathetic
master sergeant comes to the Canadians rescue. The master sergeant
hopes to enlist the Canadians, along with a brigade of half-zombies,
as part of a strike force to overthrow a forced labor camp in
Gettysburg run by the military.
Part
IV: War of the Dead
A former Army sergeant, who finds her
half-zombie condition has left her infertile, leads a discontented
group of half-zombies on a war against humanity and zombies alike.
Will the remaining military, the work camp survivors, and the
lieutenant’s half-mute brigade unite in time to stop the dissident
half-mutes from executing their elaborate plan of genocide, or will
humankind finally meet extinction?
