– It's 1948 and three years ago Hitler unleashed a chemical weapon that freed a killer disease into the atmosphere called Blood Death. Three years later and the majority of the world are dead, either dying where they stood from the Blood Death or slowly and painfully as they tried to help others around them. Either way, only a handful of people survived this devastating disease, and you had to be AB negative blood type in order to do this. Hoke, an American pilot, has spent the last three years living in London, trying to survive on his own and avoid the lingering effects of the Blood Death amidst a group of people who are after his blood to transfuse and cure them. Hoke knows it won't work but is caught and nearly killed until a small group of passersby, also AB negative, save him and attempt to make sense of their lives. This is a very thrilling and original novel, the pace is high and intense, the plot itself very entertaining and heart pumping and the writing style of such that makes this a novel you can read from beginning to end without a break! A brilliant read!
