A review by klieber
Survivors by Z.A. Recht, Thom Brannan
3.0
This book was very poor compared to the other two. This is most likely due to the author passing away before it was finished and someone else completing his work. Poorly.
You can definitely tell many of the sections where the new author took over. They're written in a more clinical manner, with less emphasis placed on the characters and more emphasis placed on the actions.
My biggest beef with this book is the crappy ending. It's rushed and very poorly written. The author uses what I call "magic pixie dust" to complete the book. The right group (brand new to the plot line), showing up at the right time, purely by chance to save the day.
Furthermore, there are plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. The whole series describes in great detail the transmission and infection vectors for the disease. Yet there's at least two people that get the disease in this final book that do not appear to be infected in any of these ways, one of whom is critical to the climax of the book. (more magic pixie dust)
