Gab\'s vor kurzem gratis bei Amazon.
Allerdings bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich\'s wirklich zu Ende lesen will. Irgendwie bleiben die Figuren eher blass und der Schreibstil kann mich auch nicht so richtig begeistern.
Während ich von dem oben genannten Buch aus weitergestöbert habe, bin ich dann aber auf dieses gestoßen:
Kathy Miner - What Survives of Us

Dieses Buch konnte mich wesentlich mehr begeistern - hab\'s in 2 Tagen (Nächten) durchgelesen ☺
Obwohl es ein Erstlingswerk ist, finde ich die Sprache (und den Storyaufbau) hier deutlich besser.
Ich warte gespannt auf den zweiten Teil ☺

Edinburgh, 1645:
The bubonic plague rages. In a desperate attempt to quarantine the infected, the city leaders seal the residents of Mary King\'s Close in their underground homes.
2015:
Mary King\'s Close is reopened, unleashing a mutated plague upon the city residents.
The UK government seals the entire city. Declaring it a dead zone they seal the survivors inside alongside the infected. dEaDINBURGH is declared a no man\'s land, its residents left for dead and to the dead.
2050:
Joseph MacLeod, born onto the cobbles of the Royal Mile and stolen from the clutches of the infected is determined to escape the quarantined city. Under the guidance of former –marine Padre Jock, he leaves the confines of the city centre and learns how to survive the dead city.
Alys Shephard, born into an all-women farming community, believes a cure lies in the south of the quarantined zone. The finest combatant in the dead city, Alys burns with anger. The anger of an abandoned child.
Something much worse than the infected waits for them in the south, in the form of a religious cult led by a madman named Somna who collects gruesome trophies and worships the dead body of a former celebrity. Added to this, the enigmatic Bracha, a supreme survivalist and sadistic former-Royal with his own agenda stalks the teenagers.
A self-contained story, dEaDINBURGH is a character-driven Dystopian/Horror novel, exploring the human capacity for good, evil and for survival. Inspired by George A Romero\'s \'Dawn of the Dead\', the works of Robert Kirkman and Jonahan Maberry\'s \'Rot and Ruin\' series.

Auch mit Pest und Postapokalypse, aber ohne Zombies. Vom Thema relativ ähnlich zu Stephen Kings The Stand (inklusive leichtem übernatürlichen Einschlag).Naomi sees her first corpse in a Colorado Springs grocery store, but it won’t be her last. With devastating speed, a plague sweeps first the city, then the state, then the world, leaving less than 1% of the population to go on. Naomi, a gentle and sheltered housewife, finds herself fighting for survival in a world populated by desperate people, where might-makes-right, and mercy and compassion are in short supply. Fellow survivors Jack, a youth minister from Woodland Park; Grace, a 17-year-old high school student from Limon; and Naomi’s daughter Piper, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, all find themselves searching for a safe path forward…because it’s not just the world that has changed.
The plague that decimates the human race also pushes mankind into evolutionary change. Those who survive are different, profoundly so, in ways they are just beginning to comprehend. As Naomi struggles to protect and reunite what’s left of her family, she must also learn to understand and accept the changes in herself. In this strange new world, her survival, and the survival of those she loves, depends on it.
