This book opens shortly after a genetically engineered virus has been accidentally released killing all but 2 percent of the world's population. The remaining survivors realize that they will need to get out of the cities if they are to escape the devastation that has been left behind.Written in multiple POV’s. The post-apocalyptic world of this book is explored through the story of each survivor’s journey as they battle the environment, wild life and dangerous survivors. They slowly group together as their paths intertwine.More so than many of the post-apocalyptic stories that I have read lately, this book examines the human side of the survivors lives as they form new relationships and accept new positions/roles (guardian, leader, and mentor).I enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to book two of the series.I recommend this book to readers/lovers of post-apocalyptic stories.
