The professor, a supposed brilliant virologist, who set up The Retreat" , was nowhere to be found in the story until the end. We don't know what his plans are for the future?? Or he has a God-like complex and really only cares about himself? A Coach has careened off a slippery hillside. Trapped inside is HANNAH, the daughter of one of the World’s leading virologists. But, if it wasn’t an accident, and the bus was targeted-would that even matter? This book had it all. Action, suspense, and all the horror you can imagine.

This is my third book by her but it's the first one to WOW me and, trust me, I was WOWED!!! ALL. THE. STARS!!!

Tudor realistically captures the horrors of a deadly pandemic through depicting a fictional society that cleverly mimics our own.
