Omega Zero by Ryan Henry is a novel that will make an impact on you, no matter whether you love it or hate it. This book covers a timely subject without repeating previously written works about pandemics that kill most of the world's population.Omega Zero is not one of those novels who go on and on. Some may consider it short, but it's exactly the right length for the story it tells. And the way the author tells his story is truly captivating. You just want to keep reading.I haven't read the summary before I started reading the book, so every twist of the story was a surprise to me. It started like a crime story with Trent running away from the cops to avoid getting arrested for drug dealing. And then we find him in a forest, trying to survive far away from civilization. When I read about his two visitors, I thought: "One of them is going to be a vicious murderer". I was wrong, because Henry has a better idea - he came up with the deadly virus that ravaged the whole globe while Trent was busy hiding from the cops. The book is full of interesting twists that make it a great read. I especially loved that Trent and Emily turned out to be seemingly healthy for a reason different than being immune to the virus. That was cool.The story is very well-written, which was a pleasant surprise because a lot of kindle books are just not up to scratch. And it's well-edited, which just as important as good writing.I will recommend this book to everyone who is interested in captivating and controversial stories about different scenarios for the civilization to end.
