Publisher's Summary

Imagine being alone in the world, one of only a handful to survive a global pandemic. Not only do you struggle to find food, water, and shelter but you also deal with the sadness and losing everyone you know and everything you have.

Fourteen-year-old Greg Dixon is living that nightmare. Attending boarding school outside of Boston, he is separated from his family when a pandemic strikes. His classmates and teachers are dead, rotting in a dormitory-turned-morgue steps from his room. The nights are getting colder, and his food has run out. The last message from his father is to get away from the city and to meet at his grandparents' town in remote New Hampshire. Knowing the impending New England winter could be the final nail in his coffin, Greg packs what little food he can find and sets off on his 100-mile walk north with the unwavering belief that his family is alive and will join him.

As the fast-moving and deadly disease strips away family and friends, Greg's father, John, is trapped in South Carolina. Roadblocks, a panic-stricken population, and winter make it impossible for him to get to his son. John and his three brothers appear to be immune, but they are scattered across a locked-down United States, forced to wait for the end of humanity before travelling to the mountains of New Hampshire.

Spring arrives, and the Dixons make their way north to find young Greg. They meet others along the way, slowly forming the last tribe of humanity from the few people still alive in the Northeast.

NEXT CHAPTER??

I'm sorry the book ended. Does Peter find any more survivors on the return to San Diego? Wish the story continued.

Refreshing,Exciting,Riveting

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. The characters were very relatable.The storyline had very little iniquity which was refreshing for an apocalyptic book. There were many questions yet to be answered hopefully leading to a sequel !The companionship of The Tribe is what I would rather imagine if an apocalypse actually occured.Not to say that a lot in society wouldnt take the criminal way of life but I want to believe most would see the advantage of seeking out and helping others.

More authentic.

SPOILER ALERT...I go through dozens of books on this topic, and I want to say this book feels more authentic. I won't give away plot, but it was refreshing not to see the theme of evil dictator. It was really good on relaying what might actually happen. Other than the oversight that a vet can't make cows produce milk after being dry 9 months, everything was well-researched. (Cows produce milk after pregnancy, so a vet alone cannot "convince" a dry cow alone to give milk... A bull ended up in the story, thankfully, but too many people in the population already do not realize the milk-veal industry is immensely connected.) But again, other than that, awesome story. I paid a credit, it was worth it, and I would spend another for sequels! The writing and narration flowed very well.

Great listen

This book has turned into one of my favorites. I really loved the story and found it refreshing from the typical blood and guts end of the world type stories, not that I don't enjoy the gore also but this was nice change.

Good story...I guess.

I thought the reading was well done, but it is a long book that always feels like you are on the verge of some calamity then, it ends...Didn't like that at all after 22 hours of listening. Still, it's a well written story.

Really great listen

I wanted more!! it's 3 books but I would have taken in a 4th just to know if more survivors joined in. It is a really great boxset. Couldn't put it down. Rare are the dystopian series exempt of violence and army characters strategizing. I grew attached to these ordinary characters.

great and interesting plot

Good story. interesting characters- needs a follow-up to answer the questions left about the characters future. Do they find other people? Where do they end up how do they settle down?
