Product Description

Product Description

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, not with a whimper, but a slaughter.

As a new plague related to the rabies virus infects millions, America recalls its military forces from around the world to safeguard hospitals and other vital buildings. Many of the victims become rabid and violent but are easily controlled--that is, until so many are infected that they
begin to run amok, spreading slaughter and disease.

Lieutenant Todd Bowman got his unit through the horrors of combat in Iraq. Now he must
lead his men across New York through a storm of violence to secure a research facility that may hold a cure. To succeed in this mission to help save what's left, the men of Charlie Company will face a terrifying battle of survival against the very people they have sworn to protect--people turned into a fearless, endless horde armed solely with tooth and nail.

For the boys of Charlie Company, the zombie apocalypse will give a whole new meaning to the proverb WAR IS HELL.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Apocalyptic Perspective 18 Jan 2011
By Ursula K. Raphael TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I know some Zombiephile purists might argue that Craig DiLouie's novel, Tooth and Nail, is not a zombie book, but if you think 28 Days Later can be counted as a zombie movie, then it's all good. Obviously, I am talking about the living infected in a story about an Army unit trying to navigate through New York City.

Hong Kong Lyssa is an airborne virus that kills most of the people who contract it, although some do recover. Unfortunately, it seems that some of the infected mutate into violent maniacs called Mad Dogs. Where Lyssa had an incubation period, Mad Dogs spread the infection through bites that change the victims almost immediately...that is, if the victim can survive the savage attacks by the hordes of Mad Dogs. This is happening all over the globe, but there might be a cure in a lab in New York City.

Lieutenant Todd Bowman needs to lead his men to the research facility, and secure the only chance the human race has against possible extinction. After the horrors in Iraq, his men just want to return to their homes, and make sure their families are alive and well. They are all torn between survival and the reality of having to gun down their fellow Americans - infected or not.

Tooth and Nail tells an apocalypse story from the soldiers' perspectives; instead of just being the guys who make things difficult for the survivors in other books, DiLouie's soldiers are the ones trying to fight their way out of a hell of epic proportions. We learn about their personal struggles with following orders they do not think are right, and maintaining their platoon long enough to complete the mission. The story is not told from any one character's POV (I imagined the story being voiced to me by Rod Sterling from Twilight Zone), which adds to the suspense - the readers doesn't know anything more than the soldiers...who knows what lies around the next city block?

4.0 out of 5 stars Tooth and Nail - Military plague/zombie novel 11 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
Lets cut to the chase. This is a good story. It reminds me in places of generation kill, with some of the eager young soldiers almost thirsting for violemnce, maybe it s the year in iraq which has made them so? I have just finished both books by JL Bourne which are more "human" and bigger picture. Tooth and nail is an "in your face" first person shooter of a book, racey, pacey and keeps you on your toes. Not for the faint of heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good job 1 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good story from the point of view of heavily armed veteran soldiers fighting massive zombie attacks in New York. This is a nice touch, there haven't been enough books from the viewpoint of survivors with a lot of military resources. It is a well written and edited zombie book, which is refreshing. it is a good read and I would recommend it.

There is a proverb that says the USA is always just three days from a revolution. Stop delivering food to the supermarkets and see what a country of three hundred million citizens, with a strong sense of entitlement and more than two hundred fifty million guns, has to say about it. &quote;

The thing is, if they will die, at least they won’t die alone. In the end, after all, that is all a soldier truly owns in combat—the possible comfort of dying among friends. That is why soldiers consider other soldiers their family. They look the tiger in the eye together, at the edge of oblivion. &quote;
