A review by travlnbard
Aftermath by LeVar Burton
3.0
I would give this book 3 1/2 stars. It is not a book I would normally read. It is the story of what happens after the economy tanks in the U.S. and the majority of the population is homeless. There are no public schools and police are only concerned with the most major of crimes. Walls have been erected around neighborhoods and private security keeps those with homes safe. So far so good.
It is also about a woman who has discovered the cure for cancer, diabetes, and pretty much everything else. I should be loving this book. However, it is more about a handful of people trying to help the woman after she is kidnapped than it is about the world and its survival. It is a story of these people and how they got here, not about how the technology is used to help mankind.
I guess I wanted more action and less about the individuals.
