Description
Introducing Parric: an ordinary civil servant being ground up in a mill of paperwork, who is given a chance to work on an experimental government project — to live secretly in a town entirely populated by androids — whose very existence, if it were known, would disrupt society — something the repressive society does not want. But Parric is happy in his secret village, protected by a force-field from outsiders, in contact with only a few others in similar positions in other secret show more villages. Protected, until war breaks out and civilization outside calls in the horrifying Plaguewind. Then the experimental androids, affected by the plague in strange ways, become killers! Parric must escape his village, then trek across the desolated countryside, in danger from the surviving mobs of plague victims, to the control center of the secret android project, in an attempt to join other men in starting a new civilization. show lessTags

Maybe this book had potential, I don't know, but I didn't give it much of a chance. The book bored me, seemed stupid, seemed poorly written, and I quickly lost interest, all of which resulted in my giving up pretty quickly into the book and obviously not finishing it. I wanted to give it a chance, but honestly, I wasn't expecting much as this had by far the worst rating of any book I have ever seen on Goodreads (a 2.0!). There must be a reason for that. I didn't want to read long enough to find out. I was already not enjoying it and I have too many other good books stacked up waiting to be read to waste my time on a book I don't like. Didn't finish it, sorry. One star. Probably not recommended.
