Disclosure:I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Now that is out of the way I will say that this is a book that has some unsuitable material for children. In terms of comparable television rating I would have to say TV-14 as it has adult situations, language, and violence.This book is one of those you can't put it down, absolutely have to keep reading type of books. My favorite genre of book would be thrillers but this book satisfied my taste for mystery,action, and romance. The story starts with Trent who finds himself on the wrong side of the law and escapes from society to avoid arrest. He happened to pick his excursion around the same time that a devastating pandemic decided to hit the world. Trent returns from his forced isolation in the woodlands of the Appalachian Trails to find that the world that he left no longer exists. There is no longer any radio, news broadcasting, even power. As the death count of the virus rose the world deteriorated into chaos. Trent journeys to fill in the pieces of what happened to the world in his isolation and to survive in this new world of unknowns. Along his journey he meets the young, fiery Emily.Ryan Henry has excellent character development throughout the story, really making the most of dialogue and details to develop these people. The plot, is as I said, captivating and hard to put down. Had I not been required to work I probably would have finished this book in one sitting. Henry creates a world, breathing life into it with vivid detail and likable, realistic characters.I was able to easily envision the characters in my mind as I read through the story.This is an excellent download on your kindle if you are looking for a thrilling experience as you lounge in the sun or enjoy the air conditioning. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends that enjoy apocalyptic literature. This content of this book is worth more than .99 cents and if you enjoy a thrill you will not regret buying this book.
