Young adults at a private boarding school become victims of an attack by a rogue military bioweapons experiment that turns normal people into zombie-Borg mash-up creatures.  This is a rollicking good horror/sci-fi tale.  The author ramps up the story slowly, with some foreshadowing of what is to come with the earliest “silver” creatures.  As time passes, and more animals and eventually people are infected, survival becomes difficult, and those who remain human try to not only survive but to determine what is happening.  The author ties up most of the tails of the story, but leaves enough hanging to develop a series.              

Summary: In this rollicking good horror story, young adults at a private boarding school become victims of an attack by a rogue military bio-weapons experiment that turns normal people into zombie-Borg mash-up creatures.
