Unlike other reviews that I have read about this book, this book is a fantastic, imaginative story from start to finish. The sequel to come "The Twelve" is definitely on my future list of books to acquire. No doubt. For those that love a good future world thriller do not miss this one! The author keeps just enough of everything going to make you want to read in every spare moment. Have fun with this one. :) I did.

A+ Excellent book and well worth your time. At one time in the beginning, I stopped reading it for a while because I thought it would be more horrific than it actually was. I started it again and was happy that I did continue because it turned out to be a great book about people who were left from a secret experiment gone very wrong and the world paid for it by changing everyone's way of life. I was happy that the pace was quick and things were interesting. This is the best book I have read in quite a while.

This is my new favorite book! The closest comparison I can make is "The Stand" by Stephen King, but this was better. Great characters, intense paranormal plot, thought provoking messages. It is going to be a trilogy so just beware- the other books are not out yet:( That is my ONLY complaint. If you like the TV show, "The Walking Dead", you will love this book. I know I do.

This was an excellent read. The story is original and really draws you in. I also really enjoyed the presentation and the way the chapters were broken up. I was a little disappointed when I reached the end, but was happy to learn there is another book to continue the story in the future.

SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT - SPOILER ALERT -What's sad about this book is it was so well written and then ended so badly. And now a movie of it is in the planning? Hope it ends better than the book did. And the author is writing 2 more books to make it a series? Are you *kidding* me?! Who's left to write about?!
