I saw this book mentioned on a few websites comparing it to The Stand and Swan's Song. Since I enjoyed those post apocalyptic books, I was looking forward to this one. The writer does a nice job with creating characters and with his descriptions. However,there were some credibility issues with the plot for me so it didn't pick up momentum.
#7 The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore Fourth book in the series. My kids got me into this one about aliens on Earth trying to prevent another race from invading.
