Title: The Remaining: RefugeesPublisher: Orbit
Book Three of The Remaining
Blurb:
He has fought the fight, and run the race.
But the enemies never stop coming, and the race has no finish line.
It has been three months since Captain Lee Harden found the survivors at Camp Ryder. With winter looming, Lee is on the verge of establishing Camp Ryder as a hub of safety and stability in the region. But not everyone agrees with Lee’s mission…or his methods. Growing tensions between camp leadership are coming to a head, and as Lee struggles amid the dissention and controversy, new revelations about the infected threaten to destroy everything he has worked for.
Synopsis:
By the end of book two, Captain Lee Harden, one of 48 coordinators, has established he can be trusted. Book three picks up the story three months after the end of book two. Dissention is in Camp Ryder with two sub groups not wanting to accept the way the world is and challenging Captain Harden's mission.
Throughout the book, we learn more of what is happening in the United States through the arrival of various new refugees to Camp Ryder. One of these is a CDC scientist who was studying FURY, and was rescued by one of the coordinators. The coordinator dies and charges him with locating Captain Harden with vital information.
Later in the book another coordinator turns up with disturbing news of the new government, and the fact that Captain Lee Harden is now a "non-viable asset". Without wanting to give away the story, Lee's life is on the line....
Verdict:
At 375 pages, this book took me about 8 hours to finish. I am not sure I am completely happy where the story is going, (pregnant zombies being killed, hence a lower rating), but as the storytelling is great, I will see what book four brings.
Rating: 4/5
