About the book:
Dr. Deanna Nichols is
a geneticist searching for a cure to save the world. After the war nearly
destroyed it by releasing an aggressive virus, it was the vaccine that killed
the humanity’s chances for progress and survival. Deanna feels guilty because
she has participated in creating the vaccine, and General Mackenzie never lets
her forget that.
Their luck changes
when they are contacted by the convicts held in a secret military prison hidden
in the arctic desert. The C deviance criminals are willing to negotiate and
provide unaffected DNA samples in exchange for supplies and a visit paid by the
doctor herself. Suddenly there’s hope, so Deanna embarks on a dangerous journey
to a grittier reality than she had expected.
Could a woman alone
save the world?

The review --
This book is a post
apocalyptic story where the main character is trying to save the human race. I
really enjoyed the morals that were in the story. One of them is how even in
rough/ horrible times, some people still try to be human. Another one is how even
though one makes a mistake, they can come back from it.
This book, for me,
wasn't slow at all, and just kept me on the edge of my seat till I finished the
book. I really don't recall any slow parts in the book at all. The are some
parts where people get hurt, but the author did not go into much description about
what happened to them. I really like that it was up to the readers imagination
to fill in those parts.
The was a twist at the
end that really caught me off guard the first time through, but when I reread
the story, I was able to see foreshadowing for the twist. Loved
it!!
