[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Over 600 years after the Pandemic

This is the third novel of the continuing saga that started with a much reduced population picking up the pieces following a world wide pandemic. I found the first two books quite excellent in every way from character development to p!a usability and creativity. Written in 2014, well ahead of Covid 19, the story line involves bacteria that are no longer controllable. The story unfolds from there. Sadly though, I found this 3rd book to be long drawn out & somewhat boring & not like the two previous books. Hence I gave it 3 stars.
