I love this story of Red so much. A man, a survivor of a plague must build a community and a home around the ruins of illness. It's a great science fiction book that has roots in issues that we face today. Once the rebuilding starts so do the questions- why did the world die? What were the forces? How can Red convince anyone of what he knows is truth.C.D Verhoff does such an outstanding job with Red. This is a man broken, everything he loved taken away.. It would be easy to dislike him for his rough ways and what seems like a coldness, but we are reminded of his loss and we understand the importance of his task of building a community. The people who picks up along the way are all well written and never feel just like extra pieces in the story.The plot and story line are really interesting and really make you think about what our worlds would be like if everything we knew was different. We are seeing a lot of exploring on this topic in new television shows and games but it's done so well in this book that I'm excited for the next installment.
