Extinction Point by Paul Antony Jones

I'm a big fan of apocalyptic fiction. This one was a fast read and a little different twist on the premise with the red rain. It did feel more like part one of a book and not a stand alone book but all in all it's an easy read and generally an enjoyable read.
That said, like others I struggled with the Emily's adamant insistence that she would be traveling to safety in Alaska by bicycle. From NYC to Alaska!! On a bike! As a Midwesterner born and bred I struggle to believe that our Iowa-born heroine never learned how to drive, especially considering her desire to abandon small town America ASAP. But ok, some people don't learn to drive, whatever. Also I was a little perplexed that a reporter had so little common sense at times, about leaving the city and being prepared and scavenging and wondering what happened and did I mention the bike??
