Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan

Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan --- 348 pages

Michael Logan, a Scottish journalist currently based in Kenya, drew on his experience covering riots, refugee camps and other such events in writing this, his first novel.

A top secret biological weapons project goes haywire when the bovine virus goes rogue and begins infecting animals all over Great Britain, beginning with cows in Scotland that turn into ravening flesh-eating zombie killers. Now the fate of the nation rests on four unwilling heroes: a reluctant teenage vegan, his perpetually stoned father; a lovelorn slaughterhouse worker, and the world's possibly most inept reporter. The author is the co-winner (along with David C. Logan) of the first ever Terry Pratchett "Any Where But Here, Any When But Now" Prize for debut novelists.
