![]() Georgia's struggle with her own identity - she's not actually Georgia Mason just a very close copy - was perfect. And all the chapters recounting her captivity at the CDC facility are beyond chilling. We see Georgia again! She's narrating chapters! Man, it was great to have her back. ![]() Eventually, we have a winner and a loser.Īnd I thought the first half of the book was pretty awesome. The After the End Times crew makes progress. ![]() The CDC is strongly motivated to prevent that from happening. They want to end the conspiracy by making it public, making it news. And in a general sense, the plot here hangs together pretty well: the After the End Times crew has discovered that the CDC is at the center of a massive, evil conspiracy. And it makes sense that once an organization has chosen a direction that requires a lot of lying and secrecy, it will foster a pretty toxic environment where the wrong sort of people will thrive. I can see a "cold calculation" (to use Mira Grant's phrase) there, where the CDC believes their way will save more lives in the long run. They see the inevitable result - "Maybe this person can recover from amplification, maybe I shouldn't shoot them in the head, oops, now I'm a zombie too!" - and it is awful. ![]() They can't afford a partial cure of Kellis-Amberlee. Now, I actually follow the logic that led the CDC to their state of villainy pretty well. Show More was the villain of the series, insofar as a government agency can function as a villain. ![]()
