At first when I realized the setting for this story was predominantly Great Britain, I thought I wouldn't like it. After all, they speak English instead of American. I was expecting a lot of car-Boots and Bonnets, Mates and Blokes, etc. Instead, here was a very realistic story about the experiences of a number of different clusters of survivors following a near "ELE" (Extinction

Level Event).

I found it refreshing to read a story of this sort that didn't depend on Aliens or some form of Fantasy. Instead, Earth is struck by three massive Meteorites that fall short of total extinction and carry with them some highly contagious lingering disease.

There are characters from several diverse areas but most of the action is in and around England. While we don't have Zombies to be concerned with, we do have The Afflicted who are referred to as Meteorwraifs most of whom seem bent on killing and/or spreading their disease.

This book has the potential to be given a five star rating if only there were more extremes to some of the characters. I would have liked some "Good-guys" who were more heroic and some Bad-guys who were more sinister and evil.
