The Darwin Elevator by Jason M. Hough

4.0

I liked it. An interesting end-of-the-world scenario featuring first contact (sort of) and a disease that turns you into a sub-human if it doesn't kill you.

The only "safe" zone is around a space elevator left by extraterrestrials that anchors in their ship at one end, and in Darwin, Australia on the other.

Good pacing, good plot, plenty of innovation and intrigue. Will , at some point, pick up the other two in the series.
