Intended Extinction
Alternate cover edition of ASIN B007X55TY2
In the year 2041, Earth is held hostage by a sinister virus called Edge. Wrecked and drained of life, Mark Wenton, one of New York City's remaining degenerates, pines for nothing more than death. It isn’t until a strange-yet-thrilling unveiling by GenoTec, the last corporation sustaining what life remains, that happiness becomes something obtainable.
When Mark receives a call regarding his involvement as a new GenoTec Volunteer, he quickly finds himself wrapped up in a deadly conspiracy. With his new companion, the beautiful and headstrong Tara, he discovers something much more disturbing at GenoTec’s roots.
Now time is against the two as they encounter ruthless, armored soldiers bent on extinguishing their lives and an eleven-year-old boy who is on the verge of insanity. The only hope they have is a group of unruly, veteran mercenaries, hell-bent on discovering the truth. But the truth will come at a costly price.

I had a hard time reviewing this book because I helped edit it. This is also why I gave it a five, because I helped edit and therefore it must be amazing :D
In all seriousness, I loved the book. Mark and Tara are interesting characters who have lived with "Edge," a worldwide epidemic, nearly their whole lives and we get to see how it has affected and changed them and how they have dealt with it. Each character gets a backstory that make them more real and interesting. Each has had personal tragedy and each respond in different ways. If you like fast paced action and/or post apocalyptic stories you should like Intended Extinction.
