It was an interesting take on an apocalyptic type event happening.  I felt the characters were drawn well and it kept me interested.  I would read a sequel if there is one.  I actually thought about this book way after I was done reading and found myself telling someone about the premise.

I didn't call it Post-apocalyptic fiction because the apocalypse is happening during this book.  There is even a little Prepper fiction thrown in when people start stockpiling and bartering goods.  I look forward to reading more of the story.  Government caused disaster, crazy weather, natural disasters all abound in this story.  A good read.

I really enjoyed this read.  I think it's probably a bit realistic of what some one is like when they have the flu, especially one that has killed 99.9% of the population.  I didn't think that the beginning was 'overkill'.

The book wasn't really gory, but definitely an Apocalypse read.

I felt really connected to the characters and am looking forward to reading more of them and their world.

I've been reading books about survival, end-times and this looked like a good story.  It was, and I was happy I read the book.

To make this short and sweet, the story is written very well with good character development.  The book needs better editing, but I will definitely follow this author as long as she keeps writing.  If you are into apocalyptic novels then this is definitely one of the more entertaining reads.

This is a good story for those that like post-apocalyptic themes.  The characters and plot kept me interested and even the ending was okay!  Not everything was probable, but everything was possible...which for me, makes it a really good story.

Easy to read, moved at a good pace. Not sure if this "could" really happen after an apocolyptical event, but made for good reading. Look forward to reading the second book.

I enjoyed this story very much. It was much more believable than most apocalypse stories out there. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Enjoyed the book.  MIXED post apocalyptic logistics with coping in a new world or situation.  Great story development.  A LITTLE predictable towards end but fun nonetheless.

I seem to be on a run of post-apocalyptic novels in my queue of late.  Most of them have been of the zombie variety.  In this novel, the culprit that leads to the demise of the human race is a series of solar flares, which wipes out most of humanity.  Of the survivors, there are those who remain normal although of seriously questionable characterand the zapheads, who have little humanity left and are basically mindless, violent people, whose sole purpose seems to be to injure and kill.  The story follows several different groups of survivors, who are interlinked in various ways.  These are the early days of the apocalypse and the people are still trying to figure things out and seek out safety.

Because there is so much post-apocalyptic fiction, movies, and television shows out there, one of the biggest challenges for an author is to distinguish their series from all of the other ones out there.  On the plus side, the idea behind the apocalypse is pretty good.  Although solar flares ending humanity is not that uncommon, I like what the author did in terms of having zapheads along with regular humans.  The other interesting thing happening is that the zapheads seem to be evolving, getting some level of communication and coordination among them, while at times, it seems like the humans are devolving.  The writing is professional and has a good flow to it.  The only trouble spot is that there are too many unlikeable characters in the mix.  Pete and Campbell are two college kids who are more into drinking and drugs than surviving.  In addition, the characters of Arnoff and Donnie are idiots.  Fortunately, there were good characters in this novel to balance those ones out.  All in all, this was a good start to a series and I will look forward to reading more.

Good installment in the series! Looking forward to next installment! I like post apocalyptic novels,  but do not care much for "prepper" novels. However, I did like this series of novels very much. Not so much of a "prepper" book,  how to guide, but a very good story line instead,  without all of the liberal bashing that seems to be a part of so many "prepper" stories. ( I will not read those at all. Once I get to that stuff I just stop reading the book.)  The protagonist in this book is a "prepper", and a lot of the information along those lines is good, useful information,  if you are thinking of preparing for dooms day you might find some new ideas here. The storyline in all four of these books though has been very interesting and entertaining.  In this last book, I did find it hard to believe that he got through all of this with so little, well, don't want to give away anything, let's just say, he made it all sound pretty easy with some good luck mixed in. But, like I said, entertaining and good enough to not want to put it down. How much more can you expect out of an inexpensive book? I will continue reading these books as long as he keeps writing them!

I enjoy occasionally reading "end of the world" type books.  I thought this was very fast paced and am looking forward to book #2.

Great action mixed with some humor. Very good story telling with developing characters. Given its an apocalyptic scene, for the most part the problems and solutions are believable, not everything is over the top or miraculous.

Other than a few POV shifts and some awkward phrasing now and then this is a well plotted and paced book. A definite add to the shelf of the post apocalyptic reader.

I love the non zombie, post apocalyptic setting, I enjoy zombie books quite a bit but this was a nice change of pace to see an end of the world scenario were not every survivor is a homicidal maniac and there is a little hope that the characters might actually survive.  This is an excellent look at survival after the end of civilization.
