Amazing series! I had 3 sleepless nights because I just could not put this, or the other books in the series, down until they were read from the title page to references!????? This was so brilliant! If I mix a bit of The Hunger Games, Helix, and The Walking Dead (minus the zombies) together I can only approximate how amazing this book is.????? WOW!! Incredible!! Visceral!! One of the best books I've read in the genre.????? The strong female character is extremely rare and fresh.????? Probably the best tale I have read in months.????? Hands down, one of the best post-apocalyptic books I have ever read.
