Future Eden

"Post-disaster Earth" can be a varied genre. Actually part of a series, this book details the loves and lives of the people left over when a deadly virus sweeps the planet. Read it before, you say? The difference with this one is how closely it follows the actual thoughts and lives of the characters. The characters themselves cover many ages and ethnic origins, all coming together at some point to help rebuild. There are the people in the biodome, safely tucked away from the virus. Then, there are the "outsiders", the ones that were either immune or lived through the virus. Enter the conflict- one wife works inside the biodome- her husband lives through the virus outside. They can never meet again, for fear of contamination of the others in the biodome. How will they deal with having new children when there are only 12 people trapped inside? How will the outsiders stay alive in a planet in enivronmental upheaval? And how will they find out if there are survivors on the rest of the world?It may not be as "heavy" as many similar books you could read, but Future Eden is a thought-provoking, entertaining read.
