Naomi sees her first corpse in a Colorado Springs grocery store, but it won’t be her last. With devastating speed, a plague sweeps first the city, then the state, then the world, leaving less than 1% of the population to go on. Naomi, a gentle and sheltered housewife, finds herself fighting for survival in a world populated by desperate people, where might-makes-right, and mercy and compassion are in short supply. Fellow survivors Jack, a youth minister from Woodland Park; Grace, a 17-year-old high school student from Limon; and Naomi’s daughter Piper, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, all find themselves searching for a safe path forward…because it’s not just the world that has changed.
The plague that decimates the human race also pushes mankind into evolutionary change. Those who survive are different, profoundly so, in ways they are just beginning to comprehend. As Naomi struggles to protect and reunite what’s left of her family, she must also learn to understand and accept the changes in herself. In this strange new world, her survival, and the survival of those she loves, depends on it.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read a lot of “doomsday” fiction and this is one of the best! Looking forward to the next one
Awesome!
This book is just the beginning of my journey with this author. She really makes you feel the characters as in, their love, pain, and tribulations. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
The Stand wannabe
Decent for a first novel. Supernatural phenomenon start occurring after a plague that leaves only 1 percent of the population alive — same as The Stand — but not nearly as terrifying, because there is no evil antagonist “devil,” and the primary protagonists are all into using their new, seemingly plague-induced supernatural abilities to grow spiritually OR to help their family members who have been damaged by other 1 percenters (the bad guys).
I predict that novel no 2 will probably focus on fighting the bad guys to rescue the family members.
