Product description

Review

"This tense and vivid novel excels at creating an atmosphere of claustrophobic dread." BookLife

"fresh, unique, and exhilarating... but must warn readers that once they've picked the book up, they'll be hard pressed to set it back down. I loved it. Really, really well done!" Readers Favorite

"This book is for those who enjoy an apocalyptic story with aspects of horror woven in. Immediately, we feel like we are placed in a story from the masterful Hitchcock; "The Birds". It has all the parts of a good tale while also sprinkling in pieces of humor along the way." Quella's Reviews

About the Author

Six of his ten books were #1 Amazon best-sellers in one or more genres. He's won two Readers Favorite Gold Medals: for MADNESS in 2018 in Horror & for Highway in 2016 in Thrillers. His work is both traditionally published and self-published. Often his thrillers are set in far-flung places, as Michael uses his experiences from visiting dozens of countries-some multiple times-over the years. His last two transatlantic cruises were the foreground of the MADNESS Chronicles. A serial entrepreneur, having formed multiple businesses over the years, he founded and still runs SmallBiZ.com, which helps small businesses create and maintain entities, forming almost 100,000 entities over 20 years of existence. When not running a business or writing his next book, you might find Michael hunting, traveling abroad, or reading a Kindle with his toes in the water (name of his publishing company) in the Sea of Cortez (Mexico). That's because he and his wife split time between the deserts of Arizona and the beaches of Mexico.

Great characters to follow through a very well written plot.
Horrible circumstances interspersed with some clever humour at times.
I think Horror not thriller would be a better description.
Looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

Loved the plot and the characters. This has litterally left me yearning to read more about how the people in the story carry on and make out. Recommend this story to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, good pace, interesting backstory to outbreak, characters shift in last third.
Reviewed in the United States on 16 June 2019

Author clearly spent a lot of time research toxoplasmosis to make a believable cause of the outbreak that ends civilization. Overall, well written. Has generally an even-keeled pace, but picks up when needed. There is a bit of cliche and “Hallmarky” writing at times, but I can’t ding him a star for that, maybe half-star. That, and the protagonist (Ted) really has less of role than I thought he should’ve in the last third of the story. And the main antagonist (Eloise) disappeared. A bit of SPOILER here: but being inside the pod from her and Agust view would’ve been interesting. So the story really turned into being about Ted’s wife (TJ) at that point and another character (Flavio) who was more minor in the first 2/3rds.

Overall, fun read, worth the price of admission. Would like to see more of this story as he suggested he may at the end. Plenty of interesting ways to go.

This is a compelling read but I found the setting , a cruise ship, was too large for keeping track of where everything is. An easy to enjoy thriller.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Different "Zombie" Apocalypse Book.
Reviewed in the United States on 6 September 2019
Verified Purchase
An interesting take on the sorta-Zombie Apocalypse story. The history and science presented explaining the "Madness" is a little different from the typical story in this genre. The mix of characters and settings in this book is pretty interesting. A cruise ship on the high seas is a cool setting to ride out an Apocalyptic event. Most of the story was within my limits of believability for this genre. SPOILER: The La Palma volcano/tsunami thing was over the top for me, having studied the real scientific "risk" of such an event. But it is a useful plot device to explain why the cruise ship had difficulty in finding a port or refueling place. Otherwise, I liked the action scenes. My biggest overall gripe is that the "combined" book is simply too long for the real content presented. Way too many pages are spent in analyzing the thoughts and feelings of the married couple at the center of the story, with little payoff. Also, I thought that the ending section after the last action climax was weak. SPOILER: the time-jump epilogue was unsatisfying. A lot more could have been done here, both to fill out this story more completely and better provide for a possible sequel.
