Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf. You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/
This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody.
Something terrible is breeding in the mountains of northwest China…a virus so infectious, its symptoms so overwhelming that its mortality rate is almost absolute. The “Su flu” as it eventually becomes known, quickly ravages the body of its host, killing it within just days, and worse yet, it’s gone airborne. Just weeks after making its appearance on the world stage – the earth’s population held as its captive audience – the virus has taken that stage and annihilated nearly all its spectators.
Writer and stay-at-home dad John Stevens never considered himself a “prepper” like the ones he’d seen on television. Just a regular guy, married to a regular girl, with a wonderful two-year-old son, life in the suburbs of Chicago is good, and John and his family are living the American dream…that is, until the Su flu strikes.
With mankind suddenly gripped by the worst pandemic in history, will the foresight that led John to prepare some emergency supplies and an evacuation plan be enough for him and his family to survive not just this deadly virus but the chaos that ensues? Or will they succumb to the renegade lawlessness that has turned much of humanity’s remnants into a vicious, scavenging, do-anything-to-survive populace?
As John and his family search for some semblance of the world they once knew, they’ll discover just what they’re willing to do to survive in a grueling post-pandemic world.
I read this first book in the series in September 2017 and really enjoyed it. I need to catch up with the other books in the series this year.
I love the cover of this and the premise definitely sounds gripping! This kind of plot makes me nervous but I can see it being a great read!
ReplyDeleteI get an adrenaline rush reading this kind of book! I liked this first one so I hope the series keeps up the standard.
DeleteThis does sound right up your alley. I'm curious to try the series after you mentioned enjoying the first book.

I certainly liked the first one. I liked the idea of a group living out in the woods of a campground during a crisis.
DeleteThis is another series I want to read. someday.
ReplyDeleteI still have a lot of series to catch up with in the genre and too many new ones keep coming out!
DeleteThis one is completely new to me. This sounds like a situation that could actually happen!
ReplyDeleteI just love the tension you get with these genres-I get all nervous reading them!
DeleteI have started some series and read a bunch of them and when I got to the end stopped reading. I need to finish some of these off and complete them.
