However I will be giving the second book a try.

A realistic insight into human nature and our will to survive and overcome anything. Slow to develop without a real climax, but overall good plague apocalypse adventure. I found nothing ground breaking for terribly unique to the story. I think it was strange that there were several distracting sex scenes that added nothing to plot. I would even say there were too many characters to keep track of. Full of interesting characters that are developed very well. It isn’t until the second part of the book that I was able to understand why the town of Lodi, Ohio is even relevant. I found it very strange as to why we were concerned with the population of such a small and unassuming town. Then we are introduced to a cast of characters in Lodi, Ohio of all places. As so often happens when a story stars off this way, the virus gets out and infects the entire continent faster than anyone thought possible. Away from populations so it can be studied without worry of infecting the masses. What I think is a man made virus, kept in cold storage in Alaska.

It becomes a fight against what is morally right or wrong in an increasingly difficult battle to stay healthy and alive until the flu has run its course.Ī realistic insight into human nature and our will are 'flu-free' In the wake of the reality that they are spared, the spirit and strength of Lodi is tested. In a world blackened with plague, a glimmer of light exists in the small town of Lodi, Ohio. Mutated and with a vengeance, the Spanish Flu returns. Though mankind has anticipated its resurfacing for some time, mankind is ill prepared. It appeared out of nowhere, and just as quickly as it surfaced, the Spanish Flu vanished. In 1918 forty-million people succumbed to a particular strain of swine flu. Without a second thought, you'll take a double dose of green liquid, go to bed, and swear you'll feel better in the morning. You will cough, sneeze, and your body will ache. Chances are, this year, you will catch one of those strains. Throughout history there have been several thousand different strains of influenza.
