I still wish to know if this was written during this coronavirus pandemic, would be great if before. However, it's a good one to read to get some sci-fi related experience. Congrats on BOTD.

The author of this book seems a gifted one. The theme of the story is about a virus that correspond in the world's number one threat today. It is also good to know the futuristic viewpoints of the author. This book looks interesting.

The review is well written and speaks of an interesting book for sci-fi readers. However, I am not one of those fans.

Although, I am not a fan of sci-fic books, but after reading your review it has given me a different reason to love sci-fic thriller. Great review.

It's a sad truth that power-hungry individuals cause chaos in the world. However, we will always survive their deadly ploys, just like some people did.

It looks like the author has drawn inspiration from what is already happening to earth.

This is a lovely review.

Sometimes, sci-fic books might seem unrelatable and far fetched because of its jargons. Anyway, I should start WTF this, hopefully it doesn't get tiring half way.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by Sonja Jacobs »

I am not sure this is really a sci-fi novel, as being in a similar pandemic at the moment, it may not be that far-fetched. It the plot seems intriguing and the well-placed humour provides a positive spin and lightened the seriousness.

The book is timely, but I agree that the title is not fitting into the whole gist. The book is still worth reading. Thank you.

I was sad to see that you felt it lacked an adequate cliffhanger and that could prove to be a downer for my read. Regardless, I have added it to my shelf; I'd love to to see what the dialogue between all the characters you've mentioned would look like.

Thank you for an insightful review.

I don't know if it's just me, but the idea of a coronavirus seventy years from now gives the impression that this virus never goes away. I know it's fiction, but it's still worrying.

For a sci-fi novel, the topic isn't too appealing for me in the light of what's happening in the world right now with the pandemic. I think I'm going to pass on this one.

This book brings the world close to home. My mom died from COVID-19 and the turmoil caused by the terrible Trump administration has killed over 200,000 Americans. While this story takes place in 2090 there are many similarities to today. Good official review.
