Product Description:
A lot can change in three months: wars can be decided, nations can be forged... or entire species can be brought to the brink of annihilation. The Morningstar Virus, an incredibly virulent disease, has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. Its hosts rampage, attacking anything that remains uninfected. Even death can't stop the virus-its victims as cannibalistic shamblers. Scattered across the world, embattled groups have persevered. For some, surviving is the pinnacle of achievement. Others hoard goods and weapons. And still others leverage power over the remnants of humanity in the form of a mysterious cure for Morningstar. Francis Sherman and Anna Demilio want only a vaccine, but to find it, they must cross a countryside in ruins, dodging not only the infected, but also the lawless living. The bulk of the storm has passed over the world, leaving echoing thunder and softly drifting ashes. But for the survivors, the peril remains, and the search for a cure is just beginning...

Rating:  - Wonderful
A very good sequel to a very good book
i must say i did not put it down from sundown to sun up
i didnt even realize that i had read the book all night till my alarm went off
full of great adventures and action sequences that will just grab and force you to find out what happens next
im looking forward to the next on
Rating: - entertaining enough
Others mentioned there aren't a lot of zombies, which is true. I like this aspect because in a zombie-filled world with survivors, there would be other things to worry. The survival town does have holes in its defense that could've been better accounted for. The ending indicates there is more to the the story and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Rating:  - Average zombie novel- not too many zombies in it though.
I enjoy Zombie novels, and the story is quite interesting, but is let down by limited vocabulary and is in need of a better editor.
There are rambling passages (the description of the re-vamped vehicles for instance) that were a chore to read, the characters generally spoke in the same 'voice' and their speech patterns were never natural- people don't speak like that! And how many times was the word 'chuckle' used... there are many ways to describe a wry laugh- it began to border on ... Read More
Rating: - NON STOP ACTION!!! LOVED IT!
I loved the first book of the series, althought it was a little slow at times abut still great.
THIS BOOK was an intense read and I finished it 3 days after I got it.
For anyone who loves nonstop action, this is for you!! THIS SERIES ROCKS AND I CANT WAIT FOR THE THIRD INSTALLMENT!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!
Rating: - Satisfying Second Entry
Thunger and Ashes (The Morningstar Strain) is a very satisfying second book in the "Morningstar trilogy". It has action and suspense, a plot which flows well from the first book, and leads well into the third. The book is fast paced and hard to put down. It keeps the story line going from the first book and ends in a way which leaves you with just enough closure so you're not hanging off a cliff, but still creates a desire to get the third book in the trilogy to see how things come together. Well ... Read More
