Too much drama
Ok, so yeah I get it. It is a drama, sort of. But there were just too many unnecessary drama parts that didn't feel right, just forced, like the author thought "there has to be mor, what can I add that's typical for these scenarios" and then hastily just went through it. Everything was just a bit too fast for it to see likely and believable.
That aside, it's a good story. I really liked that there was a lot of science included, and that there was a lot explained. It needs more substance to the characters though, they were all really shallow.
Would recommend this for anyone looking for a more scientific and different, slower approach to an apocalyptic event. It's fairly fast paced, and an easy read.
Would not recommend to anyone looking for a quick apocalyptic read that has little depth and no real backstory of how everything went down.

Fun, easy read with creepy bugs. Look forward to reading #2.
I do have one issue, when two of the major female characters were introduced we learn a few things. Both are brilliant scientists and tops in their field. Yeah! But we also learn that one looks great in a pink bikini and the other is a little bigger, but no where near "thick". What a relief, I really dislike my lady-scientists too "thick". (JK-scientists can be any size).
Fair is fair, I really hope in the book #2 we get to learn how hot the male scientists are, if any of them are ripped or rock Boardshorts well. A girl has got to know!
