Intended Extinction
An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here.
In the year 2041, Earth has fallen to a vessel-deteriorating virus called Edge. New York City remains salvageable from the last operating corporation on the planet, GenoTec, but life within the city proves stagnant. It isn't until a mysterious unveiling of a new GenoTec product that Mark Wenton, one of New York's degenerates, finds the energy to live again.
When Mark receives a call regarding his involvement as a new GenoTec Volunteer, his life as an Edge victim quickly turns into a life as a fugitive. Together with a new companion, the resourceful and headstrong Tara, he discovers something much more disturbing at GenoTec’s roots.
On the run from masked soldiers, Mark and Tara encounter an eleven-year-old boy on the verge of insanity, and a group of unruly, veteran mercenaries hell-bent on discovering the truth. But Mark must realize that it might not be Edge that kills him, it might be the truth.

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.
