Toward the Brink — Craig A. McDonough

"Those French fries will kill you, man " Elliot Goodwin was a smart, solid teenager with a great girlfriend and a strong opinion for the safety of the country's food supply. Unfortunately, his fears were only half-right: there was something wrong with the food. It was just far, far worse than even he had imagined. The Chamber, a secret multinational cadre bent on global depopulation and domination, had expected their horribly altered potatoes - the ones used in virtually all fast food -- to kill literally billions of the poor and middle class. That was the plan. What they didn't expect was that those poisoned masses would rise again- a hideous after-effect of the Chamber's deep-fried pathogen. Suddenly the world was on the brink of annihilation, and only a precious few were still alive. Now Elliot, Cindy, and a tough cop named Mulhaven have to fight to survive against the zombies, the looters, rogue military units... and the Chamber itself. It's a bloody, violent, apocalyptic war of the living against the dead, the sane against the crazy, where only the brave will survive... or will they?
