The Consuming Fire

I like these short, abrasive books (in a good way, mind you!)

I also think this series is not about the adventures of a "construct", but rather about us humans, and how weird and strange and terrible and fantastic we could be.

Positively, going to read the rest of the series!

Really cool premise, and a somewhat unexpected plot twist at the end. Enjoyed it a lot.

Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches.
