Dr. Taeya Sanchez doesn’t think much of Rick DeAngelo at first. In fact he disgusts her. She works her ass off to continue to provide treatment to the ill in the only hospital operating in NYC. Since the pandemic H10N1 has mutated and resisted treatment for so long, it’s also one of the last on the East Coast. She fights to save it. He thinks he’s above the rest. He doesn’t bother to wear his uniform and he gets away with it, too. He’s a professional scavenger in the throes of the worst virus America has ever seen.
The New York Public Library has burned. Firetrucks never come since then. People die waiting in the long line outside of the hospital. Mobs loot and kill, burn what is left, while the rich hoard food and lock themselves inside their apartments. And he has the audacity to stare at her tits and insinuate that she’s part of a massive conspiracy to allow the masses to die off.
She’s going to need him though. Her husband, now passed away, always said she had a big mouth. In her efforts to speak against the Hospital Director’s idea of “treating the sick,” she gets herself in bigg trouble and needs a way out of the city. Guess who helps? Landing in a van together is certainly not what either of them would have planned.
I was really amazed by the research that went into this book. I’m not a doctor but I was impressed by Taeya’s medical point of view. She treats patients along her journey and explains the biological virus Korea has spread around the world. Incredible also were survival skills residents displayed after the electricity, water, and reliable food supplies ended.
This book has action, adventure, guns, wounds, science, fiction, a journey around the states, homebrew that’ll knock your socks off, a sack full of weed for trade and even a Biodome. I gave this a 4.5 for being nearly perfect.
