Official Synopsis:
What’s left of the British population, now hunkered down in Birmingham, tries to find a cure from a single, intriguing anomaly: a group of children who have developed into a hybridised half-human, half-zombie state. The cold-eyed Dr. Caldwell experiments on them to find a cure for the pathogen.

One of the better zombie books. Should adapt pretty seamlessly into a movie. Glenn Close playing the doctor, gives me chills just thinking about it.
