Burn District: A Short Story: Prequel to Burn District the Series Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Laura and Mike Davis and their four children build an idyllic life with friends and family nearby in the beautiful Brandywine River Valley. Dreams and goals come to an abrupt end soon after Hurricane Sandy hits the east coast. Discovered in wood soaked by seawater, a virus thought to have the potential to decimate the population becomes the excuse to relocate thousands of citizens from beach towns. Fire is the only known way to eradicate the virus.
Rumors spread that napalm is used to burn without evacuating the people. A neighbor warns Laura and Mike that their town is next as the destruction moves inland. Is it a drastic way to halt the spread of disease, or is there another catalyst?

Laura and Mike and family leave Pennsylvania and almost everything they own to go west to avoid a "burn" that's supposedly done to residential areas to help wipe out a virus. That's what the government says but it's not the truth.

While I haven't read the series to which this is a prequel, I found this short story a definite hook. If you like dystopian reads about the bizarre and unthinkable happening to normal people - like a Stephen King story - combined with an evil American government spying on and killing off swathes of the population, give this book a try. The writing is good, the atmosphere is swift to build and full of tension.
I like that we get a female point of view, a mother responsible for family members and scared for her husband. Again, this normality makes the tale all the more disturbing.

I downloaded a free offer. This is an unbiased review.

Fast paced, heart pumping page turner. A great info to the "Burn District" series. You are sucked in from the first page and I can't wait to start book 1.

Hooked from the first page and still hanging on at the end. A terrifying solution to a new virus threat.
Would a government actually do this? My guess is a definite YES.
With my pulse pounding, I was enthralled and could not stop reading. Unfortunately, I find this a very believable story.
Another great story from the imagination of Suzanne Jenkins.

A strong start to what looks to be a promising series. With many events being seeded ahead of time. The premise is dark, disturbing and scarily possible. I can only hope that one day we don’t reach this. Well written and looking forward to seeing how the series grows.
