My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow where to start with this book. It was a gripping read from the first page. I couldn’t put it down. Especially in the current world reading this story gets you thinking about the situation we find ourselves in today. The book is aimed at young adults but it is a very enjoyable read for anyone. The author does an amazing job of building the characters and creating the scenes  that you feel right in the middle of the story with them.

Cam is studying the last year of his science degree at uni. He is going along with life, wondering what he plans will be when he finishes. That is until his sister shows him an interview. Doesnt say what for but she encourages him to go. Little do they realise it will change Cam’s life forever.

There is a pandemic going through the world infecting the water supply and killing people in the thousands. Cam interview is to join a select number of people on a remote island, protected from this disease and away from everything in the hope that they can save the human race.  Will Cam leave his family behind and join this group of people? Can they really be safe from this disease? Can they build a sustainable life in the middle of nowhere away from everything they know and love?

Along the way  Cam meets his love interest Freja. When she goes missing Cam then faces the hard decision to find her. Can he find her and bring her back?
