    As others before me, I wasn't sure what to expect. I know the author personally and when he asked me to read & review I agreed, because I like to read and was interested to see what this was all about. It took me a little bit to get into the story, but once I did I couldn't stop reading. The action was almost non-stop and although it wasn't too clear as for what had caused the onslaught of the Sickness (as it is called) the story line was pretty interesting. Until about halfway I got a little hung up in the repetition of the different 'adventures' of David Perkins & his Clan. Not until the moment they get in touch with the 'outside' world again did I start picking up the pace reading again. I'm interested in learning what happens to DP in part two, but am not sure whether to buy the book or not (I probably will), since the abundance of sex was a little too much for me (no matter what the circumstances, I can't imagine someone having this much sexual relations in such a short span of his life...). All in all I will say this is a great effort for a first novel and have to take my hat off for the effort that has been put into it.
