At some point, I may get tired of pandemic based end of the world stories. Until then, I just keep clicking and reading and enjoying. As a big fan of indie fiction, I haunt the lists on an almost daily basis for anything that tickles my fancy. This one was a recommendation that showed up when I finished another piece of indie fiction on my Kindle Fired HD. I grabbed it up and thoroughly enjoyed the story.To be fair, there are some grammar mistakes and a misspelling or two in there. Nothing egregious, but they are there.The story revolves around a couple, Mike and Liz, who are awfully lucky to miss the first pass on a new disease. Mike is also a prepper of sorts and saves the day with his forward thinking and preps. I do love a good prepper story. As far as the story, it is pretty hard to get unique when it is a pandemic. Sickness starts, people die, civilization breaks down, bad guys start to show up and so on. But the way the people interact within the story is what makes it good and this one has all that it needs to continue on into a fully realized story.This is just the first episode so it does cut off without a significant resolution in anticipation of the next volume. If you don't like those kind of cliff-hangers, then give a wait until more of them come out. I sure hope the next chapters live up to the promise of the first!
