Rise: The Complete Trilogy
It starts as a fever.
A debilitating virus emerges in India and quickly burns its way through the densely populated areas of Asia. The victims suffer for days even weeks on end until finally succumbing. Streets are empty and major cities are mere graveyards
Because of the slow killing nature of the virus, attempts to contain it to one continent seemingly work at first, but human smuggling into infection-free areas cause the virus to break borders globally.
Darren Reynolds is a foot doctor and survival enthusiast. For years he has made it a hobby to collect all things survival, knowledge and goods. Despite the fact that the United States is fortress America, he knows the virus won’t stay out forever. However, Darren and the others learn, the threat of man’s extinction will not come from the virus. It will come from what rises in the aftermath.
The trilogy is the story of their struggles and battles to save mankind.

What the heck did I just try to read?
I'm usually a fan of Druga's books, but this one is so terrible I almost want to believe that someone stole her name. Usually her books are a little messy, but they're never confusing and they usually make sense one way or another. This one however made no sense, and I will not finish reading it sadly.

New dangers.
I have very mixed emotions reading this book. From sadness when people died from the fever. To more people dying from a new threat. I was so happy when people survived the fever only to be killed. The end left me in tears.

Anne Rice on steroids, but with poor proofing and editing.

I didn’t like the shift of the book from people to the various creatures that were trying to enslave or kill humans. Too far fetched 4 me & has put me off reading other books by this author.

The Walking Dead meets The Strain: Interesting take on post-apocalypse vampirism. I enjoyed the action sequences, and references to Egyptian history and popular TV shows; however, it dragged in places and creature classification was a little confusing. It would also benefit from more thorough editing. I am now considering whether or not to read the sequel trilogy.
