sohare1981's review against another edition
4.0
I read this a while ago, I think when it first came out, or at least around the time I bought my first paperwhite kindle. I did remember a lot of the main details in the story. It was well written, even with the insta-romance trope playing strong throughout. I'm not used to military type stories, but this one kept my interest. Though some of the "technical" information about like weapons and things went over my head I liked the overall story.
Daniel Markis is a former military ops man dealing with PTSD from his time fighting terrorist and gets infected with a virus known formally as The Eden plague...he then finds it his responsibility to help humanity end it's pain and suffering by spreading the virus across the globe. But there are people (mostly rich politician type men) that find the "plague" a disaster and want to stop him. It's a race to see if Daniel and his assembled team can successfully spread this amazing cure to those who need it most, before the government tries to stop them.
If you like Military Fantasy, this is a great story for you. I haven't read any of the other books in the series yet. Though I do own them, I just have a lot on my reading lists. I don't know when I'll open Reaper's Run.

Very similar to my review for The Awakening. Heavy on the military jargon and written/read like a list. The writing style is forgettable but the idea of the EP is intriguing. Interesting to see where this goes but not sure if I'll ever read more.

Amazing!!! I found this book to be inspiring, full of characters you suddenly feel like you know, and full of a room easy to visualize. I can't wait to see how this story continues.

This book was not quite what I was expecting. I did enjoy reading it mostly. The suspense was good, but the epilogue was a deciding factor as to why I will not be continuing the series.

Interesting premise but found the characterisation and writing style lacking. A bunch of the male military-type characters seemed interchangeable and I had a hard time remembering which was which, and the supposed 'chemistry' between the love interests was non existent. I liked the premise and the general idea for the story, but it was let down by how the characters were written and interacted with each other.

Read the trilogy compilation. Didn’t enjoy. Super lackluster romance, non-consensual body modification (for the entire world!!) that not one character has an issue with (wth someone needs to call the FDA or CDC on this guy, whoever deals with dubious virus-based genetic modification). CONSENT and BODILY AUTONOMY are concepts that SOMEONE should speak up about. But no, the main character knows all and so everyone should just sit and listen to him preach.
