5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this story: sci-fi in the "real world." I also enjoyed the first-person narration. The story was revealed to the reader as it was to the main character — Jamie Gray. The pandemic was a plot device to get Jamie in the right place at the right time. (note that it does not go in-depth about the pandemic, a minor part of the story if you're worried about that).
