Creeper Town — Steven L. Hawk

When their unit gets overrun, Army Rangers Cody Wilkins and Jim Swanson narrowly escape the growing horde of undead. Driving an armored Humvee with the delicacy of a battering ram, they strike out for Cody's boyhood home in Boise, Idaho. Unfortunately, the peaceful neighborhood where Cody grew up hasn't been spared from the global scourge, and the two Rangers are faced with that age-old decision: Fight... or flight? Refusing to run any further, the soldiers fortify the subdivision, take charge of their still-living neighbors, and go on the offensive. The growing mass of shambling, hungry creepers is like no enemy they've ever faced, but that doesn't matter to the small, besieged community. Their struggle to reestablish the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is about to begin.
