The mystery virus struck down millions. Three days later, its victims awoke with a single violent purpose: spread the Infection. As the world lurched toward the apocalypse, some of the Infected continued to change, transforming into horrific monsters. America's far-flung military has returned home to wage a horrific war against its own country, engaged in a fierce battle to retake Washington, DC.
Two hundred miles away, Ray Young, survivor of a fight to save a refugee camp from hordes of Infected fleeing the burning ruins of Pittsburgh, awakes from a coma to learn he has also survived Infection. But this is no miracle. Ray is not immune. Instead, he has been transformed into a super-weapon that could end the world ... or save it.
In The Killing Floor, Craig DiLouie's chilling apocalyptic vision portrayed in The Infection continues, presenting a nightmarish struggle for survival like no other.

"MUCH better than the first book."
This one is much better. In "The Infection", book 1 of this series, he was absolutely dreadful. It's hard to believe this performance is by the same person, it's drastically better.
Still has plot holes. Gasoline should probably be degraded by now, car batteries shouldn't still be able to turn a car over on the first try. No mention of where all the ammo is coming from, especially the AT and HE rounds. Small arms firing tracer rounds makes no sense - They completely foul out a barrel in short order, unless that's all they could find, but that wasn't mentioned. 800 RPM machine guns under sustained fire for 30+ minutes would melt the barrels.. Little details that a little more research or an editor should have caught.
Still much better than the first book.
"Great Action! Great story!!!"
The sequel to The Infection is far better than the first in the series. The clicks of survivors, the military, the zombies, and monsters are now after ONE man. Some want to kill him, some want to follow him, and some want his blood to end the infection. It seems most everyone has lost their minds and irrational acts of survival seem to pop up in all groups. Gory, terrifying, and ACTION PACKED this was not a let down...I LOOK FORWARD TO BOOK THREE.
YES... I tried but life got in the way!!! LOL
"Book 2,another mediocre read/listen."
I've come to find out that when reading listeners reviews of zombie books,there are real reviews,and then there are reviews by zombie story fanatics. To the fanatics,every zombie story is the best they have ever read,everyone else has higher expectations.
The idea of where the story can go is what got me to buy the second book. In my opinion,the first two "books" should have been both chopped in half and made into a single book. It was OK,but rarely did I get sucked into listening because the author had hooked me on an intense moment or passage.
Honestly,I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you just like zombie story's simply because they have zombies in them.
"Another good one!"
Balanced gore fest
Really? It's a zombie book!
No
No, but I don't want to listen to any book in one sitting. I still enjoyed listening.
This was my third Craig Dilouie book and I have enjoyed all of them thoroughly. I may have to try a Dilouie no zombie book next.
"Not nearly as good as the 1st."
Yes
Yes, because the first book really sucked me in.
I don't know, it was the book. It didn't have the gravity of the first book.
Perhaps, but I'm not sure if I would give it my time.
I expect the book to return us to Sarge but instead almost right from the get go, introduced us to new characters. Ray in the first book seemed like a much more amiable guy.
