Description
The apocalypse kills billions—numbers so large that most survivors’ minds snap shut. Foes of the U.S. have attacked with a bio-engineered contagion that spreads around the world. One of only a few survivors, Penny Castro, ex-USN diver and L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy, reacts differently. She fights back and creates a life for herself where death is the common denominator. On a forensic dive, she is interrupted. When she surfaces, she finds all her colleagues dead, so she has to battle starvation, thirst, and gangs of feral humans until she ends up in a USAF refugee camp. A post-apocalyptic thriller for our times, Penny’s adventures will entertain and shock you into asking, “Could this really happen?”

Really enjoyed this book and would like to read more about the characters. Feel the book needs some polishing begore it is published, quite a few text errors.

I received a free copy to read/review from the awesome NET GALLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, lets' get to it, could this be true in some way?
Steven Moore has created a believable world gone strange after a bio-weapon is unleashed on us mere humans,. He has some good character driven stuff here but then of course to "new" old thing we have super warrior Penny Castro and she becomes the "all in one" as she staves off danger. I kinda of liked it but it is written at a slow pace for me personally. You may enjoy it.

It's the apocalypse in a virus sent by an unknown country to America. It wipes out the majority of the population. The story follows an American Mexican woman as she navigates throughout the US. She picks up a teenage boy, and a man with a disability from a head injury. They both come to depend on her for food and shelter. She provides a snarky narrative of their journey through the years. It tells how the citizens and the government cope with the challenges they face. I usually don't care for snarky narratives, but the author tells the story with a good deal of humor and truth.
