About this listen

What starts as an emergence of a new virus quickly turns into Mother Nature’s ultimate population control.

While attending a seminar at the Ambassador Hotel, Ava Mason is unknowingly exposed to a carrier of a highly contagious virus. The next morning, she wakes to a steady pounding on her door. Within minutes, her home is stormed and she and her three children are apprehended, placed in a van and taken away.

Quarantined.

They are told nothing. No one is. Ava, her children, and others are brought to the Ambassador and sealed in. It is one of many locations quarantined in an attempt to contain the virus . The outbreak rapidly spirals out of control and the world is thrown into chaos and economic collapse.

What was once their prison becomes their safe haven from a world besieged with violence, illness and a world that desperately stops at nothing to end the virus.

While quarantined, Ava and the others form a bond and they watch as not only the world, but those around them fall victim to the virus.

To Ava, what happens outside the hotel is minuscule compared to what happens inside. Everything she loves and cares about is in the Ambassador. She wants only to protect her children. But can she against such an invincible foe such as the virus that pushed the world to the brink of extinction.

Very good sketch of a pandemic without zombies for once. This book was released 9 years before COVID and as it turns out it's a pretty accurate picture of how people react.
I enjoyed this very much.

I'm glad I didn't read this in 2020

I loved this story . The characters were believable and I got to know them all. I love apocalyptic type fiction , I prefer the “during” phase rather than the aftermath. This was really good .
The narrator was brilliant.
