A passenger dies on the Barcelona-Cincinnati flight. When EMTs and Customs officials suspect biological terrorism, the Cincinnati Airport is locked down. Some passengers have already cleared and exited, but the remaining ones as well as TSA and other airport employees, Customs officers, and one airport policeman are flown to an abandoned Army post for quarantine. Just before they take his phone, the policeman, Luke Davies, calls his wife Maggie and tells her to take their son to his parents' home in rural Appalachia. Luke, isolated with strangers waiting to die, and Maggie, isolated in a world she hardly understands, hunker down to wait out the terrifying crisis.

The novel concerns a bio-terror attack against the US. Primarily it follows how a couple, Luke and Maggie Davies, he a policeman and she, a nurse, are affected by and deal with the crisis.
Watching as they adapt to the terrifying results of the attack, I truly felt the emotional tugs and jerks. It is a spell-binding tale and quite difficult to put down.
J.T. once again displays her magic with characterization. (For those who've read RUNNING) It is amazing how, by the end of the book, I got to know all the players, both main and peripheral.

Really good enjoyed the book good character development and plot. Now ant to read her other book. The end was somewhat predictable o e I was 7/8 done, but the actual end surprised me, in that it was left to the reader’s imagination

Great Story
I loved the characters in this book. It’s nice to read a disaster/apocalypse storyline that focuses on ordinary people. I loved Maggie especially. Kinda sad that there is no second book, but it ended nicely:)

A good book, worth the read
But I am not in love with the ending. The characters felt real, and now with the world in the post-Corona virus, it feels like real life...

Good story
A doomsday book with a slightly different take on virus. Characters are interesting and there is some action. And the dog we meet lives
