Review: A very exciting, suspenseful and well-constructed page-turner!

This is essentially a character-study of a drug dealer who manages to avoid a global viral outbreak as he happens to be in hiding in the woods at the time it occurs, after which he emerges to find civilization in tatters. The characters are relatable, complex and engaging, and the plot very intriguing with plenty of twists to keep you guessing. Very intelligently written and professionally presented (minus the typos that are so often present! The length I think is very decent too, not to long and not too short - it's pretty much perfect).The strong language and violent scenes are necessary, and befitting this type of genre. In my opinion it does need this to be realistic, and, let's face it - entertaining and enjoyable! I love the Stephen King-style of using italics for emphasis. This breaks up the text and adds an exciting element, similar to a S.K. book.I think that it overlaps and transcends genres, such as crime thriller and sci-fi, giving it many different and intriguing elements. If you like crime thrillers/drug dealers and/or sci-fi, then you are in for a treat! However I would also recommend as a worthwhile read in general. I believe this new author has huge potential and I hope he will continue to write more books, which I will be keeping an eye out for!
