What was once frozen is now melted. The rising sea levels had to go somewhere. In past civilizations, man persevered because after these floods, the waters always receded. Until they didn't.

Very near reality, a good preparation for today
The Jakarta Pandemic is thought-provoking. Not your run of the mill thriller formula, it keeps you at the edge of your seat. The pacing feels a little off because it isn't a standard formulaic thriller, but the aspects of reality regarding the situation in which we find ourselves today can be fruitful as well as harrowing.

Good but
I disliked how the wife was treated by the author. For a husband who we are supposed to believe is always prepared, keeping his key partner in the dark the way Alex did was a recipe for disaster. In that sort of situation allowing your spouse to remain woefully ignorant of potential danger would be horrible.
And her use of the walkie talkie just to "check up on him" would have been stopped by anyone in real fear of their lives. She was one misplaced "I love you be careful" from getting him shot while he was hiding. Overall, even with those things considered it was a good book.

Great read, the Fletcher story begins
I really enjoyed most of book. The characters are well done and the situations and reactions seem very human.
I feel the pacing isn't as good as some of the other books by Konkoly, and there were times where I felt like I was spending minutes on non-value added fluff.
Overall it is a great addition to the post-Apoc genre. I am generally sad to say I am up to date on following Alex Fletcher's story, and look forward to any other offerings from Konkoly in this genre.
