As fan of the survivalist, post-apocalyptic world genre this book got me hook, line and sinker!
This is an exciting adventure with true emotions and realistic abilities. This book is action packed while giving you an in depth view to this new world, trust me, it will leave you dying for the next book! Once you get into Jack Walker's world, you don't want to leave!
The story is based in a post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest. The enemy is now fellow Americans who are no longer completely human. A flu epidemic with casualties out of control,similar to the black plague but worse, only this time a vaccine is developed on the fly to combat the virus, it is quickly distributed to the population after being fast tracked through the FDA. Turns out... although the vaccine does keep some odd 30% alive it changes their DNA and they become...Night Runners. At the end of first wave of death due to the flu and subsequent vaccines, as society collapses and millions die, a mere 1% of humans survive.
The group of survivors this book follows is led by Jack Walker, former Captain in the Air Force and father of three. Initially I was hesitate about the children but they became one of my favorite parts of the story as this is the first book that I have read that followed the adaptation of different aged kids to this new world. Jack is a complex man who is both loving father, gentle lover, respected leader and skilled killer. He has many tools in his arsenal from past experience when he was in the military.
You follow Jack and his children through day to day life in this new world. Every adventure is well written, and I would like to say thank you to the author for his time in the military, it is obvious from the level of detail that he has been in many "sporty", as Jack would say, situations! You really feel like you are there watching these Night Runners get shot up, he takes you through the entire flight of the bullet. I really enjoyed his no BS attitude too. He is a great leader who is intelligent, caring, and strong, the best you could ask for in this situation.
I recommend starting at the first book, once you do you won't stop until you finish Dissension. I think it took my about 2 weeks to read all 6 of them.
This is a great series, I have loved all of them....
NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOK 7!!
