This novel continues the story of Howard Bell after escaping his imprisonment in an experimental prison camp off the coast of Antarctica.  Now in a tropical environment, he finds it no easier to survive.  I like how the story goes back and forth to tell the story about how he got where he is now and what he is planning to do next. It felt like Howard was talking directly to me, and that made me feel his isolation, confusion, and fear which actually made him a more likable character.  I enjoyed his bond with Emily and the other survivors he traveled with.  I am curious about why the ones that survive the exposure do and want to find out more about the alien creature that started it all.  I paged forward and back at the abrupt ending wanting the story to continue right away.  I am looking forward to the next installment.
