The plot explores one way the society could self-destruct through flu virus that results in more deaths per capita that the bubonic plague pandemic. It starts with one bird, one man, one family. As the death toll rises, government bodies and other seek people who are naturally immune to the virus for testing to see if they can use their blood to create vaccines. Another group called the ‘uncanny’ use magical powers for destroying or helping humans. The subplots revolve around small groups trying to survive and establish safe zones. The author described ugliness of a decaying society in graphic detail. This book set the background and main characters for the series. The horrific brutality seems realistic for the circumstances. There are consistencies between the groups’ abilities to move from place to place and some characters actions. Overall, it is a good story that would benefit from additional editing.
I received this book through a Publisher's promotional giveaway. Although encouraged as a courtesy to provide feedback, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
