This sounds like a neat read, but I am personally not ready to read books about a deadly virus. Maybe at some point, just not right now. (I know there are others who want ALL the books about deadly viruses right now. I find it fascinating to see the different ways we all manage the world around us in our fiction picks.)

I'm curious about this possibly being a series. From what you say, it doesn't seem to have been "announced" as one. Do you get the impression that it will be a series because this one had an open-ended finish without much of a resolution? I've always felt that "first books" that end that way should very clearly announce that they are a series very clearly right up front. Otherwise, I tend to get frustrated with the author and the surprise-series.

You know I like fun end-of-the-world reads, too. But there seem to be a lot out there that start off great, but then fall short in the end. I'm getting a little tired of those.

I feel like I've seen a movie with a similar premise but don't remember the name. One of the zombie ones. This sounds interesting but not sure it's for me. Especially since it didn't really pull you in.

This feels like it might feel a bit close to home these days!
