Body Count

JAMES. ROUCH

IN THE WAR OF TOMORROW, THERE'LL BE NO SURVIVORS

The Zone-a contaminated strip of Western Europe that is the battleground for mankind's final war. Ravaged by defoliants, experimental chemical weapons and deadly radioactive waste, the hyper-toxic wasteland promises certain death for those foolish enough to cross its boundaries. Only well-equipped combatants enter the battle-seared tract, and they do so for the sole purpose of adding enemy bodies to the piles of already-rotting corpses.

As NATO Command struggles to thwart a devastating WARPAC bombing raid, a giant Russian transport barrels through The Zone, disgorging two hundred elite commandos on the outskirts of Frankfurt. Suddenly, and without warning, communication facilities are seized, industrial centers destroyed, and blood soaks the streets of what was once a NATO stronghold.

With no one left to turn to, NATO Command points to Major Revell and his Special Combat Company, battle-hardened grunts hungry for action, to reclaim the city. They race from one hot spot to the next, often fighting amid masses of civilians. Mistakes are made, innocents die, and Revell's men find themselves seriously out-gunned by an insidious new breed of enemy from... The Zone.
