The finale to the Ebola K trilogy
Half the population has died. Many countries have disintegrated and societies have collapsed. Still, Ebola kills.
Paul Cooper is imprisoned in an Ebola farm, a place where Ebola survivors are forced to donate antibody-rich plasma that will be used to treat the sick, but corruption is rampant and smugglers are everywhere.
Austin Cooper, having escaped from the rebels who’d been holding him for ransom, has been found by Mitch Peterson. Now the pair must trek together across Kenya and Ethiopia toward their separate goals, one to get home, one to finally kill Najid Almasi.
Ebola K 3 (Ebola K, #3) Reviews
-
That's the feeling when the third book in a trilogy hits a slam dunk. Everything that I wanted to happen, happened. There were some surprises but I got my way. Mr. Adair is a comeuppance machine! No loose ends here. Good job. -
Ending is too rushed
This series has been very exciting. E characters are very well written and I immediately started caring for them in book 1. I give this book 3 stars because of the ending. The ending seemed rather rushed to me. I would have preferred more in the ending. This book has left me feeling the story is not complete. I also feel the editing on this one was rushed as well. Many errors which is unusual for this author. Don't grey me wrong, this is still one of my favorite authors. I just wish he had spent more time on the ending of this book. -
I loved the first two books in this series. The characters and plot snagged me from the first pages and reeled me right in. The final book was "okay." I felt the second book was a bit rushed, but hoped the final installment would make up for it. Unfortunately, it didn't. The plot dragged in some places, rushed when it really counted, and the ending was unsatisfying. All in all, this is a good series. I just hate that it started out strong and ended with a soft thump instead of the loud bang it needed.
-
Far too many easy coincidences and Hollywood action movie nonsense crap. The previous two books had been well-researched and their strength was that they were fairly plausible. This one, however,... just... no.
-
Again, this was okay. I guess there wasn’t much else to expect from the final book. Even though technically a lot happened, I finished the book feeling like… nothing did happen. Everything got solved fairly easily and neatly, there was a lot of Paul being annoying, not enough Olivia, Austin and Mitch were Bond, James Bond, and the biggest threat that the villain had come up with just went nowhere.
Interesting idea, but I wonder if the author got afraid of writing more than three books, so he ended the story here in what felt like a lazy way. Either way, a bit disappointing, since the writing was good and the concept had me binge reading this. -
A clean sweep for the series
5 out of 5 stars
The final installation of the Ebola K series, Ebola K (Book 3) continues where books one and two left off. Find out what Austin will do to survive and what his dad will do to keep on living in this action packed conclusion.
Adam Verner narrates Book 3 and does a great job with it. He narrated the entire series and I was glad to see that Adair and Verner teamed up to do the final book. Verner has a really great voice for this type of fiction and really makes each second fly by.
Ebola K (Book 3) is the final book in this series and it felt like it. Not in a tired a worn down way, but Adair did a great job finishing up his story kind of way. I never know how much I am signing up for with some of these series, sometimes it’s 2 books and sometimes its many, many more. Thankfully, Ebola K had a nice 3 book cap on it and I don’t think the series could have warranted any more books. The series was incredibly well thought out and the disease was perfectly described.
The book opens with some “previously in Ebola K” scenes which were a nice way to jump back into the story. A lot of people get to read these books in a row, but many others skip around because they weren’t finished or had other books in their to-read piles. Adair allowed the readers to jump back in without feeling lost.
The action was there and there was a lot of it. Adair didn’t shy away from anything in this final installation. The whole series was a nice mixture of action and actual science. Not too much action to exhaust the readers and not too much science to lose people.
Overall, Ebola K (Book 3) felt like such a wonderful conclusion to everything that was going on in the other two books. Adair didn’t finish with a bang or a whimper. He finished in a way that was incredibly believable and really put the nail in the coffin of this story. -
As with the other two books, the writing and editing are good and it flows well. I still had some trouble engaging with most of the characters. Mitch and Austin ended up being a great team but the entire Middle Eastern terrorism thing ends with a sudden and strangely anemic conclusion. Olivia, while supposed to be a competent professional, is undercut with not much book time and the sophomoric flirtation with another scientist. I never liked Paul and still find his decision to become deliberately infected an odd one. A lot of time is spent with him in the prison/clinic which is an unpleasant scenario, as I'm sure it is meant to be. The callousness of the guards and staff and the casual brutality seem to be deliberately reminiscent of Nazi concentration camps, right down to the tattoo. The previously not-seen Colonel comes out and explains it all so we are supposed to feel better about it. (I didn't feel much better). His speech also lets us know that everyone thing was going to be ok...soon...someday...really. My biggest issue is that the ending is very abrupt, so much so that I would not have known this was the final book except for the author saying as such at the end. It felt very unfinished as a result.

All of the characters sounds the same. Everything has a rosy ending. The good guys live, the bad guys die. A family has a 0% mortality rate (except for a murder) from a virus with a 90% mortality rate. All deaths occur off-page and the reader gets informed of the death. All of the 60-70% deaths throughout the world sounded like statistics and not terror. The post apocalyptic billing of the book is never really addressed. Society doesn't break down, there are just some inconveniences and the supply chain gets impaired.
-
Brilliant.
A brilliant third book and a riveting series. So good and easy to read. The whole story along with the characters is so believable. I totally recommend reading the series. -
It is not part 3 of a series of books. It is the 3rd cut of a single book. It is a 770 page book that for some marketing reason was divided and sold a 3 books. So there is no point of ratting each book separately. I can say that the 2/3 of the book were just great and the last 1/3 was just good. The last part was too imaginable and too unbelievable. Things that do not make much sense are happening there.
-
The conclusion of this trilogy was actually a bit disappointing. Nothing really got resolved. Austin and Mitch still aren't back in the states, Paul is still forced to remove plasma, and Olivia is still doing her thing. I really liked the first book, and was really into the action in the second. This book, though... It fell flat for me.
-
Marked down a star because there were a few too many coincidences for my taste. But all in all, a fine example of dystopic fiction. And despite some lapses in editing (and proofreading) that were annoying, such a compelling ride that it was hard to put down.
-
Terrific trilogy from the master of disaster. Well worth the wait for the last enstallment, I recommend it highly.
-
I really enjoyed this series.
I would highly recommend this book. I really enjoyed this series. It was different in that it wasn't the zombie apocalypse \survival although I enjoy the Zombie Apocalypse thing. These books were events that could very well happen. Great series -
It certainly moves!
This series is a good read for apocalyptic fans. Fast passed, filled with interesting twists and turns. The characters were interesting, the end gives you hope for better things and the reality of such an event can not be dismissed. Good quick read. Enjoy! -
Well this series held my attention! It was truly unputdownable. A couple of times real life interfered, but I hurried back the minute I could and fired up the Kindle! Highly recommended!
-
Hmmmm.
Good series, but for some reason, I was slightly disappointed in the end. It felt like it needed to be one chapter longer. -
Got long and lost interest
