Eve of Extinction #3
Outlast
Nate's journey home is nearly sidetracked, though he finds an inner strength to carry on and right injustices along the way. Meanwhile, in Asheville, Lucas's paranoia worsens as Victor continues to tighten his hold, though the reappearance of Sarah lightens the mood, though disaster stalks just behind her in book 3 of Eve of Extinction.
The 3-million-book bestselling author Mike Kraus, working with Stephanie Mylchreest, brings you a thriller that's sure to hit close to home and leave you wondering "what if" long after you finish reading.
As of 2021, an estimated 97% of the world's financial transactions are digital. What would happen if that digital money - those 1's and 0's - vanished overnight?
The world's major banks are in chaos as a disastrous software upgrade has wiped out their customer's records, resulting in the loss of dozens of trillions of dollars in the blink of an eye. Chaos quickly spreads as the general populace panics, resorting first to theft to obtain what they need to survive before turning to more violent measures.
Caught in downtown New York at the reading of the will for her late mother, Sarah - an ER nurse - finds herself stranded in a burning Manhattan with her daughter Mia hundreds of miles away in North Carolina.
Halfway across the globe, Mia's estranged father learns of the disaster while working as a wildlife photographer in the Amazon rain forest, and resolves to do whatever it takes to make it home.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, a group of Sarah's closest friends does their best to not only watch over Mia, but help guide the survivors of their community as they navigate the treacherous waters of their new reality, discovering along the way who their real friends - and enemies - truly are.

This continues a good series, though I don't understand the persistence in characterizing Asheville as a small town (too small for a large convoy of scavengers to hit). It is has almost 95000 people, is classed as a city and is the largest in NC west of Charlotte. There are some nice reunions in this one but also a lot of agonizing over feelings which bogs down a story that is in the middle of crisis. I'm not sure what to think about either Victor or Lucas, but it is ironic that Victor loudly insists that Lucas give all of Eddie's stashes to help the community, when he was only willing to donate 10% of his own supplies. I had really liked Tony and Jeremy and their interaction with Sarah, but with joining the group at Asheville, they seem to have retreated to the shadows somewhat. On to book 4.

This is a fantastic continuation that sucks you back into this dystopian world. These authors do an incredible job with the world building and have you on the edge of your seat with the intensity and devastation and once started I could not put this down. Our characters continue to face many trials along their journey that pushes them to the brink and I’m anxious to see what happens next.

Another great read. Such an interesting storyline. I know it’s fiction but I would never want to live that way.
