An interesting take on the end of the world.  The premise reminded me a bit of the movie Contagion.  What made this fresh and interesting was the point of view the story is told from.  It felt like I was inside the head of a teenage Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory).  This poor kid is a genius and physicist who is also trying to figure out how to interact and relate to other people, which in itself would make a compelling story.  Add to that, almost everyone on Earth has gotten sick and died. This is also a great look at family in the crucible for all families, a road trip.  Yet this trip has more at stake than finding a roadside hotel.  This family is trying to reunite itself, during the world's darkest hours.  A compelling and enjoyable read.Land of the Unaltered (Confederation Chronicles)
