Review: Great post-apocalyptic novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book grabbed me right from the first page.  You knew that something awful was going to happen as history professor Jack goes about his day with a modern-day plague raging in the background.  His suspicions that the illness would be the worst the world had ever seen turn out to be true, as most of the population is wiped out.  I enjoy reading post-apocalyptic novels, and this one, with all of its twists and turns, was great.  The author keeps you guessing as Jack and his family deal with what is left of the world.  The characters are likeable, as are the family dynamics.  The writing is fast-paced with thrills around every corner.  Recommended!
