What makes this a decent post-apocalyptic story are the characters (which are many, some nonchalant in attitude) and the narration. I enjoyed the hospital scenes and has humor at times and as the H1N2 virus spreads and military action for state to state .It may not be the best book but still enjoyable and as with all series ending is abrupt. Recommend if you like post-apocalyptic. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you
