About this ebook

In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter.

When Vanessa dies of the flu, Walt is devastated. But she isn't the last. The virus quickly kills billions, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. As Raymond and Mia hole up in an abandoned mansion, where they learn to function without electricity, running water, or neighbors, Walt begins an existential walk to LA, where Vanessa had planned to move when she left him. He expects to die along the way.

Months later, a massive vessel appears above Santa Monica Bay. Walt is attacked by a crablike monstrosity in a mountain stream. The virus that ended humanity wasn't created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job--and Earth's survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.

Another freebie to try and entice you into a new author? Well, yes! Of course - only this one was really quite enjoyable. I found the story quite pacey and whilst being fairly standard fare in terms of storyline there was enough to make this interesting and to create overly late nights due to the need to read a "few more pages". I thought the writing was good and in difference to a number of previous freebies I have read had no noticeable grammatical or spelling errors - this really matters. It also worked - I'm off to pay Mr Robertson for more now.

I loved the book. I didn't know what is was about when I started reading but loved the twists and plot changes. Also loved the two stories from different ends of America. Only criticism would be the writing drags on a bit in places and feels a little forced. The action and dialogue made up for it though. All in all, a great sci-fi novel with a lot of comedy.

I've just got into reading so my experience would be different to others. I Jusy chose the first book on play books I could find and it happened to be this. Perfect for a starter, didn't read what I was getting into so it was a surprise all the way through. It had me interested enough to read all the way through and I will be reading the other books in the series so yes it was a good read in my opinion
