Noemi recommends Plague Land by Alex Scarrow

The outbreaks of a new virus start slowly in Africa, "a headline at the bottom of a news website". Until a week later, the virus is worldwide and attacks fast. The infected die within hours. And it's in the air so how could there be an escape? But there is something different about this virus, the way it moves, almost like it's adapting, getting to know it's prey and their weaknesses. And if the remaining humans want to survive, they need a plan, and fast. But the question is, who can they really trust? When this virus seems to have the skill to create life itself, and to reconstruct already existing life. Looking for a new dystopian read? Then this is for you. This book immediately throws the reader into action, which I love because then you never get bored of it. Happy reading!
