Living after the apocalypse really isn’t that
hard for most of the survivors. The virus killed all but 1 in 10,000. The few
remaining people are left in a world of virtually unlimited resources. Grocery
stores overflowing with food and drink. Thousands of empty houses to pick from.
But one survivor, a nineteen year-old girl, requires more than simple food,
water and shelter. As a type 1 diabetic her body desperately needs insulin to
stay alive. With civilization gone, no one manufactures it anymore. She hoards
all the insulin she can find, but every day marches toward the end of her stash
of vials. She has a choice. Accept her fate and death, or tackle the almost
insurmountable task of extracting and refining the insulin herself. Brilliant
scientists struggled to make the first insulin. What hope does a high school
dropout have?

I predict a best seller and a potential movie!
:) The book appeals to all; there is a wonderful message about Faith in your
life and the depth of true love set in a post-apocalypse period. The book
contains an interesting mix of medicine, science, mathematics. The author did
an excellent job with his research for the novel, and as a physician I feel the
medical details were spot-on! I had no urge jump to the end of the book, as I
found the body of the book addictive. There are lots of twists and turns, the method of getting there
was fascinating and truly unique. I got a free copy in exchange for the review;
however, I am purchasing the book as well. Thanks to Travis Norwood for helping
me get through a trying week with a wonderful read.

This was a fabulous book - much better than expected! I was forced to lose nearly an entire night's sleep to finish it. :) It's not your typical apocalypse book, and I love how it brings a sense of hopefulness. Great for high school and above - mostly because of some sexual content.

Exactly my kind of book with a believable storyline so I could get lost imaging how I would do things to survive in such a scenario and good characters generally behaving how you would expect the survivors of an apocalypse would behave. I almost chose 4 stars but only because the lack of a couple of obvious problems that I think would have been an added problem ( I won't say what though as you can make your own minds up) Great read that I hope may have a sequel.
