This book absolutely requires that you continue to the next two in the series in order to make it a coherent story. The narrative is a bit plodding, and it is all background detail, nothing about the virus except hints, and nothing about that creature depicted on the cover. I realize that the author is trying to set the stage, but that's all this section has: background, although the scenery is amazing and the descriptions are great. It tells of William's life and feelings; if you can ignore the frequent typos and grammar errors, it's not bad in itself. I did expect more doomsday scenarios, though. Probably they will show up in the next book. There are a few hints of crises to come, but no details. The style here is to make a mysterious statement, then proceed to explain it. Hmmm........I'm going to read the second installment now.
