Nice little read. Good, clean writing, engaging even.
Our old man ends up being the narrator of the story, as he is talking most of the time and telling his grandchildren what happened during and after the pandemic that wiped out most of the human population. And he does so in a way that keept me engaged in the story.
The author nailed some things about the story, such as how a disease might spread and the number of the population in the future! Other things were not accurate, such as the use of telegraph, but hey, he did mention wireless, so he wasn't so far off.
I quite enjoyed this little read and it was my first from this author.
