The plot seems to be very similar with the current Covid -19 situation. This makes it fascinating. And experimenting with babies? How gruesome! I would love to read this novel as the author seems to have a very good imagination.

This sounds like just the right book for me. Only one thing though, seems more like 2021 than 2090!

"Even in darkness, one can be the light that shines”. I agree with this statement even though the book touched on viruses, a trending topic at the moment.

I find sci-fi books like this highly interesting. The idea of a pandemic turning the world into social chaos is intriguing and relevant given the current state of the world. I found some of the summary in this review a bit confusing, but overall it was well-written.

This surviving life after a world cataclysm may be quite a thrilling read. But I think that I've had and read enough about pandemics, so I'll pass on this one. Thanks for the great review!

Thank you for your honest review. While sci/fi isn't my favorite genre, I do like how the author writes. I'm just not sure if this hits too close to home right now though. From the sample, I do think I like Lily. She seems to have a good heart and mind. I will have to consider putting this on my list of books to read.

Tayma Tameem never fails to deliver fascinating stories. Like the others, this one got me curious too. I'm kind of hesitant on it involving coronavirus but we shall see.

The book title got my interest, just not sure on what you mean on the title not fitting. With it being in a series I wonder if the author will go for a peaceful world after everything is said and done.

I'm not into this storyline. The post-apocalyptic setting is almost overused in recent times, and I know better what a post-pandemic world is like.
Nice review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel about seven individuals that must survive in a futuristic world that has been struck by a deadly pandemic. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

A deadly virus sure can cause violence, deception, and an Extinction of compassion. But I'm glad that a ray of friendship is shining in the dark times. I guess it's time to be propelled into 2090. Congrats on this one!!!

Good review. I agree that the title doesn’t do it justice but I’m intrigued to read it. I like sci-if and this sounds right up my alley.

I don't particularly like the fact that the book is based in Covid, so I don't think I'll be reading this because its really not appealing to me. But great review

I do like this one but it's much horrified me with most extreme virus. Actually I didn't want to live like this anymore. If you want exclusive situation, come to Myanmar and you will see. Living in this situation couldn't move anywhere. Every day was in jail much worsening than pandemic.
