Well... Laura's trapped down in Antarctica, and she's literally the last survivor on Earth after the virus called ''The Blinks'' goes pandemic and wipes out the entire population of the earth. What she doesn't know is how deeply involved the company she works for was in the initial distribution of the virus. The City of The Dead empties out slowly as more and more people on earth die, and eventually it's down to a few hundred souls. The city is disappearing...
This is a good book, which makes me happy because I wasn't initally impressed by the cover desciptions.

Looking forward to reading it!! Thanks for suggesting it!!!
Received this book from paperbackswap.com.
I gave up on this one. Just could not get into the story. Seems it had great potential but fell flat. The concept was intriguing but turned out just plain boring.
Sending off to a fellow BC reader who had it on her wishlist. Perhaps she will enjoy it more than I did.

Ooh, I love getting wishlist books. Thanks, Martie!!!!
Unfortunately, I still have my backlog, so it may take me a bit to get to this. I'm really curious to see what I'll think of it, though!

This was an interesting read that ultimately couldn't really support its own story, and even had a flaw, albeit a minor one.
The premise is cool. The writing is lyrical. (The chapter with Christian philosophy, however, I could have lived without and I'll own skimming it, at most.) And to read this now, in the middle of covid and a pandemic that's got a lot of similarities and yet a lot of differences, was also a pretty cool experience, especially as we got to the end. That's when the book was both strongest and weakest.
At first, I wasn't going to stick with it. Overall, I'm glad I did.
