This Plague of Days, Episode 1 by Robert Chazz Chute
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m torn between GR asking for a review and the awkward fact that I wrote it. For what I think? This story is two books in one that gets off to a rollicking start. It’s pacing is odd because it juxtaposes two groups on a collision course that are far apart: a teen on the autism spectrum in America’s heartland dealing with a world flu pandemic and a terrorist releasing a new strain of that virus in London. In America, they’re dealing with civilization grinding to a halt. In London, chaos is unleashed when the rabies-like virus turns the infected into cannibals. The characters in the hero’s family and the boy’s obsession with English dictionaries and Latin phrases are a special treat.
According to the author.
Ahem. See? Awkward.
(It’s available in serial episodes or as a full season (like a TV show). Three seasons are planned so far. The second season releases this fall.)
