The ambition of this book (and the series that it paves the way for) is astonishing, and it delivers impressively on the promise of the premise. There's definitely some nerdery here, both of the science and history varieties, and it is brought to life with a lively spirit of passion and curiosity. More importantly, we are treated to a heroine who is brilliant and sensitive and unforgettable; even as the narrative careens through time and explores big ideas, it keeps us firmly grounded in Mia's emotional arc. The book is a big swing, and it connects powerfully.

I can only imagine that watching 2020 unfold must be a particularly strange experience for Chuck Wendig, since it feels like he predicted so much of it, with such clarity and precision, in this incredibly prescient, epic novel that came out in 2019. While the book is speculative fiction, it is incredibly grounded and believable; the fact that it was written pre-pandemic is simply astonishing. Wendig has written so credibly about the dangers of a global pandemic, particularly in his anticipation of the way people interact with it on an emotional level. The panic and fear, the blaming of marginalized groups, the denial and conspiracy-mongering- all have been borne out by the experience of Covid in 2020. Most troublingly, the book points toward how white supremacist-fueled hatred and violence can emerge from such a fraught situation. 5 years ago, I would've thought the book's villain and his army were overblown caricatures; this year, I can only say that they feel all too real. I can't in good conscience suggest this book for anyone whose anxiety about everything 2020 is feeling unmanageable, but if you're the type of person who could handle watching Outbreak or reading The Stand this year, I really can't recommend it highly enough. It's exciting, disturbing, frightening, sometimes funny, deeply heartbreaking, and a damn fine read.
