Publisher Description
Chad Huntley can’t get sick. When an influenza pandemic kills almost everyone around him, he finds himself on the run, hunted by soldiers and mercenaries, chased across a wasteland of empty houses and dying suburbs as he tries to escape Fort Worth.
Mankind’s only hope is for him to partner with a brilliant virologist to find a cure—but not everyone wants a cure for the greater good.
The Source, the first prequel to Apache Dawn, opens a terrifying window on the early days of The Great Pandemic and sets in motion the events of the Wildfire Saga.
Customer Reviews
Really good read.
I found the main character very believable as well as the impersonal responses from the government and deep state. Keep up the good work can’t wait to buy and read the rest of your works. I gave it only four stars as I’m a prior 82nd combat vet (Cold Steel) and from the perspectives of the soldiers in the book would expect them to recognize and refer to individual weapons
By their names. For example an m4 for the soldiers rifles is common not machine guns. The grenade launcher the mercenary used might be a m203. Tanks would be M1 Abrams. What sort of helos? Most 17 year olds have played enough call of duty and shooter video games to know a what a MH-60 Blackhawk is.
Shallow narrative that trips on cliches and stereotypes.
Parts of the book are interesting; however, if the story is about a pandemic and a cure to a virus, nothing in the book gets into any of the important details. The writer introduces implausible characters like a “Lord” and “King” and other uninteresting people that take away from the potential of the story.
