Summary

In New York, Walt Lawson is about to lose his girlfriend Vanessa. In Los Angeles, Raymond and Mia James are about to lose their house. Within days, none of it will matter. When Vanessa dies of the flu, Walt is devastated. But she isn't the last. The virus quickly kills billions, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. As Raymond and Mia hole up in an abandoned mansion, where they learn to function without electricity, running water, or neighbors, Walt begins an existential walk to LA, where Vanessa had planned to move when she left him. He expects to die along the way. Months later, a massive vessel appears above Santa Monica Bay. Walt is attacked by a crablike monstrosity in a mountain stream. The virus that ended humanity wasn't created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job - and Earth's survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.

Love this series, let down by a narrator

It’s a shame. The cadence of the narrator and his odd, untimely vocal inflections, make this series difficult to understand at times. I am so disappointed as I’ve read the Breakers books by Robinson and loved them. This is a case of hiring the wrong narrator, one that ruins the story completely. Read the books.

Gave up.

I pushed through a few stupid plot twists during the first half, but a ridiculous and pointless series of twists towards the end resulted in no interest in finishing the book.
