25 to 1. Those are the odds of being struck down—and resurrected—by the savage plague that's sweeping the country, forcing survivors to band together against the dead.
Even among the living, there is dissension. A new leader known as the Red Man has risen up and taken charge—and he's nearly as dangerous as the hungry dead. Some, like Ben Richardson and his friends, strike out on their own. Because if the men with guns don't get them, the zombies will.
Fleeing the cities, Richardson and his crew find sanctuary in an abandoned farm. But their stronghold may not be strong enough. Something strange and terrifying is happening to the undead. They're banding together. Working as a group. Hungering for a common goal: human flesh. And lots of it.

— Bobby, 10/31/2013" Solid continuation of the two previous books. Zombie action works and the river setting adds a fresh backdrop to the battles. Not so sure an electronic tablet would weather the zombie apocalypse. I found that to be a stretch. "
— Brian, 9/19/2013" Despite the popularity of zombies, most zombie books are not very good. Neither is this one "
— Wonderlandkat, 8/11/2013" MUTATED delivers pulse-pounding action with precision, intelligence, and most importantly, heart. McKinney proves once again that he understands the power of the zombie subgenre better than any other writer. Highly recommended. "

— Edna, 3/22/2013" The book is well written. Joe McKinney is a very talented writer. Unfortunately, and this is no reflection on Joe, I didn't like the plot. That's just my taste though and shouldn't prevent anyone from reading this book. "
