Synopsis

In 2014, the cure for the common cold also cured cancer -- and inadvertently created the living dead. In 2039, Georgia and Shaun Mason are bloggers who make their living reporting the news and hunting zombies in the quiet, abandoned spaces of the world. When Senator Peter Ryman recruits them to cover his presidential campaign, it's the break of a lifetime. But when an outbreak of the zombie virus strikes the campaign trail, apparently as a terrorist attack, Georgia and Shaun uncover a conspiracy far bigger, and far more terrifying, than anything they had ever imagined.

Feed is the first novel in Mira Grant's (Seanan McGuire's) Newsflesh trilogy, narrated largely through Georgia's own blog posts as she and her team chase the story that gets them killed for it.
