A review by mjfmjfmjf
The Dire Earth by Jason M. Hough

3.0

Confused. World-wide blindingly fast epidemic somehow caused or protected by an alien space elevator in Australia. Zombies. Limited number of random immune people setup to be stars presumably in the actual series. Yeah whatever. The intro stories to the characters are pretty good, but that is offset by uninteresting world building. Not worth going out of my way to read the rest of the series without strong recommendations.
