Review: A Different Spin And Viewpoint The Series
Rating: 5 out of 5

I really enjoyed reading about how the pandemic event affected different people that were not part of Jack's group.  It was also pretty cool that the author included stories from his fans/readers of this series.  It was almost like reading a whole different book, but there were a few tie ins with people that had been either near Jack or had brief contact with him.  It made for a nice view of what had happened to other survivors in the same area.My only complaint would be that I now want to know what happens with these new clusters of survivors!  It could be either a whole spin off of the New World Series or the author could bring the new survivors into the series.  Either way would be good reading.  My personal preference would be to see some interaction between these outside civilian survivors and Jack's group.I recommend this book either as a stand alone book or as a companion book to the series.  I hope that John O'Brien has a new book in the series coming out really soon.  Amazingly enough, even after the first nine books in the "A New World" series, the storyline has not gone stale or become boring.  There is always new and fresh occurrences that have made me want to know what is going to happen next.  There is enough realism along with scary things out of nightmares, that have kept me captivated and a little freaked out when things go bump in the night.
