I liked the premise of this book and I found the world building haunting and illuminating. I thought the last third of the book devolved into a sort of movie chase sequence which I didn't need, though I suppose others may have. This has some intriguing ideas about change and how quickly we adapt, and then what do those adaptations mean... And then there is the thriller aspect of the book which I found unconvincing (the villain was so obvious to me, it was cringing that the other supposed smart folk in the book couldn't see it)
So I give it three stars.
It's the start of a series and I'm not sure I'll read the rest, because they seem to grow the chase/thriller aspect of the book. But I do think, one innocent soul against the world as we know it - who would you chose? and I have to say, I'd absolutely quarantine the innocent plague carrier and maybe even be on the side of killing her - I'm always on the side of let one day to save thousands (or in this case billions) ( )

The Last Mortal Man by Syne Mitchell (8/10)
SF. A bit slow to start because she needed to build up her future before she could start tearing it down, but a good story and a good start to a trilogy. ( )

I'll go ahead and list one major complaint right here, which isn't a spoiler and not the author's fault. According to Mitchell's blog, the publisher has declined the rest of the series due to the sales of this title. I don't know if Mitchell will find another publisher for it or not (it'll be a shame if she doesn't), but I have to say, talk about disappointing. I think the title stands enough on its own, meaning it doesn't leave you with a major cliff-hanger, but knowing the series won't continue? Beyond annoying.

It deserves to continue.

I feel bad recommending this since I know it's book one in a series that's been axed, but you know what? It's a good book. Good action, solid characters, and a kick-ass female heroine who's believable and complex in a very positive way. Once I got started, I found myself wanting to track down Mitchell's other titles, because her prose is a smooth read, her characters are believable, and premises good. And I'll do that too, look for Mitchell's other titles. I just hope another publisher picks up this series and gives it the run it deserves. Book one is a lot of fun, and I can only imagine how fascinating the rest of the series would be, should Mitchell ever get to publish it.

Fairly descent story but at times reads like airport or beach reading material. ( )
