Lethal Seasons

This is the first book I've read in a long time that I just couldn't put down. I've always liked post-apocalyptic fiction, but most of what I've read lately has been formulaic, far fetched, and/or poorly written. This book really delivers with a fresh story, relatable characters, and good writing. I went ahead and purchased the three remaining books in the series to make sure they would be available for me to read.

An extremely well-written book that makes you care, truly care, about the characters and their on-going struggles. Sabo's tale is not your normal apocalyptic, zombies attacking, kill or be killed type of tale but instead takes a much more organic approach to how humans will survive if our climate and the ever-growing threat of incurable disease comes to pass. Yes, you can argue that this book only reinforces the realisation that if things do get this bad that our biggest worry will be in surviving the monsters that are man but there is a genuine sense of community developed in this story that comes as a relief after so many other books have focused on only that aspect. There are so many mysteries left to solve that I'm really looking forward to the second book.

Good characters and a well thought out milieu. The hidden government providing trains and train food is an interesting twist.
