It's been a long, long time since the movie "Outbreak" and the viral-apocalypse genre has been sorely lacking. Thank you, Keith Soares, for writing such a classic, tense outbreak plotline! The story is fast paced and absorbing from the get-go, with just enough scientific explanation to suggest plausibility. Bear in mind that this story focuses on the post-outbreak world instead of the initial discovery. It's an interesting, realistic take on the possible warping of human society after a devastating event; showing how humanity's natural protective instincts can have an unintended side effect of cultural stasis. The violence and the exciting fight-or-flight segments are well-balanced with the more reflective and character-developing passages. Keep up the good work, Mr. Soares!
