This book is set in the future... a future not too different from now. Just some different gadgets.Martin and his girlfriend, Julie... are getting ready for breakfast. They live in NY and enjoy the parks and all the restaurants and activities there.A world-wide epidemic is announced on the TV and Martin flips it off because he thinks it just about another variety of flu. Just another flu scare.Except for a few people who are immune to the epidemic, everyone exposed will be dead of a form of lung cancer within days to months. There is no cure. Julie gets a call from her parents and Martin gets a call from his parents.An extremely well-written book, this story addresses many different issues as the story keeps moving right along. Smoking, relationships, gangs, doomsday weapons, humanity.If books two and three continue the story and the quality remains the same... they will be well worth reading.This is literature! Not a simple easy read... but a great read! In a slightly futuristic setting. I can't wait to see where the story will take me!I highly recommend this read. It's not cozy... not a quick read... and is very short... but I can't stress enough how excellent the writing is. The author has crafted this story well.
