Summary

Apocalypse unleashed. Swift and deadly. Merciless.

Seven billion people inhabit this planet in blissful ignorance of imminent annihilation. Destruction comes, not from meteors or nuclear holocaust, but from a source no one even knows exists.

The architects of doom have long moved among us, hidden in plain sight, waiting for the signal to trigger our extinction. 

A handful of survivors - traumatized, bewildered - must come to terms with the new reality. Quickly. For the Cleansing is only the beginning....

Really enjoyed

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the book. Great story line. Looking forward to listening to the next book. Great twists and turns. Never headed where I thought it was going.
Off to hunt for more from Sam Kates.

did I read the same book as everyone else?

I just couldn't finish this book, so many good reviews and got three quarters of the way through and still nothing really happened. yes there was a play, but that's it? I just can't make it to the end to find out. Sorry this one just wasn't for me.
