Okay, so I was bored and downloaded four samples of books that I didn't think I would be interested in just to pass the time.  Three out of four convinced me by the end of the sample that I would be wasting my money on purchasing them.  The fourth sample, this book, had me hooked by the first third of the sample.  There was no doubt in my mind that I would be purchasing it and following Mac, "Peanuts" and gang through the rest of the novel.So I have now finished the novel and am truly impressed.  You can tell the book is fiction (an Independent for President who doesn't truly care if he gets impeached????!!!!) but it is truly a good overview about the damage that a pandemic can do to our society without focusing on the blood/guts, shoot outs, political rally.  Patient Zero is a just a poor schmuck working on his dad's farm.  The other characters are very life-like, complete with strengths and weaknesses.  The "official" responses are very likely.The writing style is very fluid and definitely keeps you reading.  It even has a couple of huge twists at the end (no I won't spoil them).Read it - you'll enjoy it!
