An Overall Good Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020

Okay, I really liked the character development, the characters felt fleshed out and like complete people.

I didnt like the quick jump into sex and harem, maybe add a disclaimer at the bottom of the book description.

Dont treat the female characters like they are there to just have babies and do women duties; the character development for Jackie jumped too many extremes, if you're going to have her shift like that, maybe add a scene where she is burying her mother and then reminisces over future baby plans and how her parents always wanted grandchildren. There was no exposition into Jackie's thought process for the drastic shift from "Im a badass survivor, to Yeah! Babies!"

The church egotistical church leader as the big bad was an awesome touch! I like it. I hope Henry slaughters them all in the future books.

Pacing, I understand the first book is world building, so you will have a lot of text about exploration, maybe try and incorporate some difficulties instead of just have the main character experience a series of perpetual, "lucky days."

Four out of five; I like the book, but some things about the characters were hard to believe and the story dragged in places. I will still buy the next in the series and see where this author takes the story.

Overall, I gave this four stars because

Review - take 2

My first review got rejected, I suspect for language because I was scathing about one element of this story.

So, here is my honest thought about this story. it starts basically, with a slight twist to the "everyone gets sick" tale used to remove any scenes of people actually getting sick. This allows it to jump into the "let's rebuild" part of the tale quickly. And that part is solid. The hero is thoughtful and resourceful. His early companions are interesting and while the relationships build fast, they aren't at the stupid horny level so many of these harem tales insist on using.

I did see issues with the travel, not that it was too hard/ too easy. More that people run into people who make me wonder how they could survive any kind of apocalypses. One thing that The Stand by Steven King did right was include the fact that many survivors of the plague died quickly due to bad decisions they made. That doesn't happen here, and some characters who show a lack of common sense manage to survive quite a while.

And then we had the major villain, both for this book and the one hinted/revealed for the future. Sorry, I've had enough of that type. They are cliche to a level I dislike. There just isn't anything new in those plotlines. And while the story is well written and has some engaging characters, those less than interesting plot twists make me downgrade this book so barely above 2 stars.

Its not really a bad book, but I rate on how/if I'd recommend this one. I know that I'd be hesitant to recommend it to many people. It just rubbed me the wrong way by using overused cliche villains in another apocalypse tale.

Surviving

This is an awesome foray into a Post apocalyptic version of earth, the characters and mechanism of apocalypse in the Virus are all fascinating. it allows for a escape from the turbulent times we are in, while still feeling very relevant! My only critique would be of the effect of Dilaudid described in the book, running a mission while dosed on it would be more than a struggle haha

A pretty good read

From what I could tell it was a pretty good read. I dont know why some tech would work after the end and some wouldn't, because there's redundant systems in place to prevent this, but still an entertaining read.

this is a writer that can really write

normally books with end of the world scenarios are not well written and some are Boring. This author demonstrated his ability to describe with actions and the characters dialogue how to make the story believable and full of action. if you like reading this is an excellent read. i hope he writes a series with this theme.

Very Good

I thoroughly enjoyed this book,not just the same old indestructible hero.The characters are certainly interesting and different also very relatable. The emerging villain is interesting if done correctly or it could come off as just playing the PC game. I am very interested in seeing where this series goes!

I recently started several books, but nothing seemed to grab me. Then I found this in my kindle library and started it. I am so happy I did. Outstanding and highly entertaining story. A real grab you by the hair story, I couldn't put it down.

My sort of book. Practical solutions to problems after a disaster.

Good content and fun to read. (with a side order of sex!)

It concentrates on the problems that could be encountered AFTER a pandemic.

Makes you want to get the second book in the series.
