I initially bought the first two episodes as they were available free.  I was instantly hooked and bought the entire season which I read over the course of a few days.  I almost wish I had bought these as they came out because I wouldn't be able to rush through the episodes like this.  I compare this book (the feeling not the plot) to the show Lost (at least the first two seasons when it was good)... at the end of every episode you are screaming "What is going on??? I have to know!"  Large cast of characters which initially is a little confusing.  The story is told by each person and goes back and forth each chapter and until you get into the 3rd or 4th episode you find yourself having to remind yourself who they are talking about.  Excellent character development done very slowly.  I still have no idea what is going on but seems to be like something out of Stephen King's the stand.... the various people are coming together in groups.  Some good... some bad.The Plot: imagine you wake up..... the powers out.  You reach over for your wife but she isn't in bed.  You check on your kids but they aren't in their rooms.  No note left for you.  You look out the window at the city that never sleeps..... and there is NO one.  Not a soul out there.  You knock on every door in your building.... no one.  This happens to a small number of people across the country.  Each left to guess at what has happened.  The rapture?  Aliens?....Then there are these...... "things".....  what are they?  I won't give away anymore of the story but it is well worth the read.  Very imaginative.  Can't wait to start on the next episode.
