One Shot is by Tom Conyers.  It is a post-apocalyptic novel.  I generally do not like novels like this; but this one caught my attention at least for a little while.  About halfway through, I lost interest as things just kept repeating themselves.  By the end of the book, I wasn’t sure what was real and what was not.  It was an interesting twist.Kerrie and Rex live in the Australian outback near an American base.  Kerrie works there in the research department.  She is helping to research viruses.  The virus they are working on makes pests cannibalistic.  So, theoretically, one could give a cancer cell a virus and it would eat all other cancer cells.  Something happens and the virus contaminates the water supply and as people drink the water, they become cannibals and kill each other.  Boiling the water does not kill the virus. After Kerrie drinks the water, Rex chains her in the backyard and eventually kills her.  He and his dog Soldier set out to find lifesaving water.  What he finds is chaos.Will he find water?  What else will he find?  Is it all a dream or is it real?  What is reality?
