The V-Pox has struck and brought most of civilization to a screeching halt. Some survivors find that they are immune to the virus although they don’t know why. The story rotates through several sub-plots of survivors dealing with the apocalypse in different ways. Although we have no zombies to deal with we do have the ever present ruffians who always surface in a crisis. Several of the sub-groups wound up meeting and consolidating into one larger community by Lake Oconee headed up by Sheriff Rollins. The gang from Knoxville had their eyes set on this larger group and made plans to take what they had. Groups were shuffled around due to irreconcilable differences and reformed. This is an excellent start to a new series. I look forward to more from Mike Sheridan. Kevin Pierce is wonderful as usual, one of my most favorite narrators.
