REBOOT - Featherstone, Phill

. .

Résumé :
A deadly virus strikes humanity. There is no vaccine and no cure, and everyone succumbs apart from a few exceptional individuals. The REBOOT trilogy tells their story and is now presented in this single volume. Book 1: Paradise Girl. Kerryl is a lively teenager who finds herself alone when everyone around her falls victim to a fatal virus. Somehow she must survive the scourge, but how? Her isolation begins to affect the balance of her mind and she imagines someone else is there - Adam, an attractive boy who she thinks is watching her. He becomes increasingly real to her, until she convinces herself that she is receiving messages from him. She arranges a rendez-vous at a local beauty spot popular with lovers. Will he be there to meet her? Book 2: After Shocks Lander leaves Kerryl and his home and sets out on a journey to discover what's left after the pandemic. He also thinks that by going he's protecting Kerryl. He travels the land, and comes across both the best and the worst of humanity. Some people are lawless, some are hopeless, some are greedy, some are cruel, and a few are trying to create a new world. He gets news of Kerryl and his family, and receives an offer which looks tempting but needs him to deny what he believes to be right. Book 3: Jericho Rose The plague is over and it's time to rebuild. However, there are some who are trying to turn the pandemic to their own advantage. An authoritarian government uses a pod system to keep the population imprisoned in permanent lockdown, and seeks to overcome mass infertility, an emerging effect of the virus, by creating hybrid human/animal foetuses. Can life ever return to normal? Lander leads a group of like-minded idealists to challenge the powerful and corrupt, and on the way finds romance. Books in the REBOOT series have won major awards and recognition, inlcuding Wishing Shelf awards, Indie B.R.A.G. Medallions, and Chill Readers Awards. Paradise Girl was a finalist for the Page Turner Book Award.
