Spec Ops Z - (Special Purposes) by Gavin Smith (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Handsome re-issue of a high-octane military-SF, as Russian Spetsnaz commandos are turned into zombies in '80s New York.

When Vadim Scorlenski and his elite Spetznaz squad are sent to New York at the height of the Cold War, they're told it's a 'training exercise.' They discover, too late, that the 'practice' chemical weapon they're carrying is all too real. They go to their deaths...

...and awaken to a city overwhelmed by the walking dead, even now spreading across the globe. Somehow holding onto their identities amid the mindless monsters, Scorlenski and his squad of zombie commandos set out to return to Russia.

Someone's going to pay.

Spec ops Z is a handsome re-issue of the high-octane military-SF, Special Purposes: First Strike Weapon (2017).
