Publisher's summary

Can anything or anyone stop the evil?

Lost. Trapped. Chased by monsters and sent on a crazy mission. Not exactly what Jack Gee had in mind when he used to daydream about the apocalypse.

Seven months after the Hemorrhage virus swept across the world, Jack, his wife, Dee, his friend Boss, and the Renegades, a ragtag collection of civilian and military personnel, have been sent on two missions. Jack likes the first: recon. The second is insane: reenter the laboratory they barely escaped from a few months back and retrieve a logbook, a logbook that could provide the cure to end the madness.

Through the chaos, old friendships are tested and new alliances are formed, but new and dangerous enemies emerge in the fight for the future of New Zealand.

I was hesitant, but it's a good trilogy.

a good visit to a universe with a different point of view. I enjoyed it more than I thought.

Good story -- but ---

I like SF, but have a hard time with SF that is really fantasy. A human being morphing into a monster - really :-(

Great End to a great Trilogy

The action is non-stop yet again! Our heros and new characters we've come to love fight to their last breath to beat off and kill the monsters threatening our society.

Jack and Dee pick up a few more kids along the way as well as their dog who saves them all more than once.

You must read this book. Again, if you are looking at this book, please find the first one, "Rules of Three." The series is great. I wish Amazon would reopen the series and have Smith write more.

My second time.

I guess I forgot to drop a review my first time around. I love the New Zealand setting. These characters are not ones you will forget. Nor the story. I bought this a while back. YOU. LISTENER. CHECK THIS TRILOGY OUT WHILE IT IS FREE.

Then do the author a solid and buy the anthology. This is definitely worth owning.

Hello New Zealand Again!

Read the series. Fast paced. The series always talks about the country, ocean, cliffs and it is so well written you can see it clearly. Sign of a good writer. Live to see more from this writer!!
