The Lockdown has failed. The AM13 virus is spreading out of control and there doesn’t seem to be any way of stopping it. The Government announces its new plan—a sanctuary in an area completely untouched by the infected—as long as you can get there unscathed of course…

Review:

England is ravaged by a man-made virus, turning everyone who is infected into a mindless, walking zombie bent on infecting others. To contain the pandemic, authorities evacuate the British islands, but it is too little, too late. Dr. Jones is a scientist working to uncover what is driving the virus and develop a vaccine, but he is a tortured soul, not knowing the fate of his family, and when he finds out, plans to exact a terrible revenge.

Ethan finds himself in a city devoid of life, occupied by wandering zombies. He is surviving each day by outwitting the roaming mindless hordes, hoping to meet someone not infected. Alyssa finds herself in a similar predicament, but manages to get achieve some comfort when she finds several normal people in an abandoned church, but her travails have only begun. Her past is gone and there is no future or hope for anyone.

Forgotten is an intriguing twist on a familiar theme—a plague unleashed by man, survivors struggling to see the light of a new day—which has been handled by many books and films. Against this background that might turn some readers off, Samie Sands launches into a probing examination of her characters, their emotions, psychological turmoil, loss of hope, a struggle to survive in a world gone mad. The writing is fluid and the narrative easy to read, demonstrating Samie Sands’ skill. Although well written, I was troubled by the book’s many plot flaws, diminishing my enjoyment. However, devotees of this genre will find familiar ground in Forgotten.
