THE END

by Josef Peeters

A new threat challenges the human race years after Covid-19 ravaged the globe. Far worse, infinitely more infectious, it strikes swiftly and definitively, devastating the population. A select few in Melbourne, Australia who survive, follow an urge to make their way out of the city toward an unknown destination, an unsure future. What they find, what they become, wasn't anything they could ever have imagined. Truly the end.

Reviews

Pretty darned good! Spoiler alert included.

This book reminded me a tad bit of the old movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but with less benevolent intent and a lot more apocalyptic happenings. Having a love for all dystopian books, I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced story.

This is a really good post apocalyptic story that really highlights the differences in how people may react. Well written and entertaining.

Absolute mind blowing.

I struggle to find words to describe how amazing this book is...so apt in this current atmosphere.

If only the hope was real? Is it? I struggle to believe and yet...that's our greatest strength isn't it...hope?

I feel like the book could have stood on its own without Covid…like the book had been started before 2019 and the author kinda threw it in because it was an easy grab and changed the dates in the book to take place a little farther in the future or something. Just didn’t sit right with me when we’re still dealing with it and friends and families have died so recently. Other than that is was a pretty solid apocalyptic sci-fi book. Would like to see a sequel.
