This book was definitely a product of it's time concerning the treatment of women but was also prescient when considering the focus on a crop virus. I am not generally a fan of darker books, I prefer hopeful endings and this ending left me feeling a bit sad about the turns that humanity might take in the future. That being said, the author did a great job with the character development of John as he took on a leadership position in his group. Overall, I give this book 3.5/5 stars.
