Summary
Matt Kearns and the remnants of the scientific team return to a ravaged America. Modern medicine has failed to halt the spread of the flesh-consuming parasite, and humans have been forced to hide, even from one another.
The infected roam the cities and suburbs of a ruined nation. But the devastating effects on human physiology are only the beginning. Something has been let loose, something that the team were not prepared for - human nature itself.
Matt and Carla must make it back to the CDC headquarters, crossing the apocalyptic countryside that proves every bit as dangerous and deadly as the South American jungle. The race is on to test their eradication cure, before their world suffers the same fate as that of the giant saurians of prehistory.
But there is something they don't count on - the solution has a high price. If they don't use the cure it means the end of mankind, but what if the remedy is worse than the disease?

plot doesnt mesh with Alex hunter series that preceded Matt's own series
i like both the Matt Kearns series as the Alex Hunter series but the events in The first bird do not integrate with the timeline set forth in the 10 alex hunter books. the dramatic global events described in this story dont add up to events and storyline in the Hunter series that preceded the Kearns series.
Otherwise the story on it self was enjoyable enough to begin the second book in the series in the hopes that that book will shed some light as to why the events in this book are not visible in the Hunter stories.

Misleading description
More of a zombie plague type story with graphic imagery that is not pleasant. Not what I was expecting. Made myself listen so I could review its misleading description.
