Martin Lake was part of an isolation experiment. He went underground and when he came up fourteen+ months later, most of the people on Earth have died from the Mongolian Influenza Virus.What would you do in a similar situation? He heads to his childhood home, finds his almost starved dog Isha and starts planning his next steps.I liked that part of the story was told from Isha's POV.There are good guys, bad guys, women of both types, children, zoo animals, changing weather. I wish there could have been more on specifics of daily living rather than some of the political/religious rhetoric that was a fair amount of the book.But, all things considered, this was a good snapshot look at a portion of California and TEOTWAWKI genre.Oh, and I liked the cover art a lot.
