The USA acts as if it is immune to the world's problems, but here it is, struggling with post apocalyptic disease. Pandemics and catastrophes can attack anywhere, whether from antibiotic resistance, chemical warfare, or something natural, like the imminent great volcanic eruption, or rising seas... Just when we thought that all the warnings of post apocalyptic literature had been written, here's another gripping version. I'm curious to read the first volume now! Book cover is serious and sinister enough to warrant closer inspection too.
