The Immune Box Set: The Complete Post Apocalyptic Survival Series Reviews
-
I changed my review to a one star because the more I think about, the more depressing and awful this series was. It started out promising enough, but as it drug on it just became awful. There is no hope throughout the series and even at the end, the hope is so infinitesimal that I couldn't even enjoy that. It felt like it was the end of human beings on earth. I think this is the last of the dystopian, end of the world books that I can handle...at least the others offered hope.

The premise is frighteningly possible. A billionaire, multi conglomerate owner, hires a group of scientists to develop a super virus. He wants to kill off most humans and give the earth a chance to heal itself of all the damage caused by civilization. Of course, there is a secret vaccine for his chosen few who will live to make a better world.
The virus is extremely contagious and kills within 24-48 hours. Unraveling follows the life of some of the few, immune to the virus, who watch helplessly as all their loved ones sicken and die and the world descends into chaos around them.
Very well written with compelling characters and realistic action, especially in the first two books. Kazzie expertly shows the mental and physical anguish experienced by Adam, a successful doctor, Sarah, a career soldier, and Freddie, a professional football player. He makes you care about these people.
I never stopped reading, or caring, but the story seemed less plausible after the action moved to the Midwest, mostly to Nebraska. Adam and his group take over a huge warehouse complex, a food distribution center, where they count canned food, ration out just enough to keep people from starving, and fight to the death to protect the cans (their only food supply) from roving "bandits".
This scenario might work in an east coast city, but in the Midwest, most people know their food doesn't just appear magically on grocery store shelves. Right now, Nebraska has 6,800,000 head of cattle. Plus almost two billion bushels of corn, and even more soybeans and wheat.
Kazzie tries to get around this by mentioning catastrophic crop failures caused by a nuclear explosions in Russia and China. We get brief glimpses of dried up fields. But at the same time the highways are taken over by weeds, grass, and brush. And little towns are disappearing under mountains of green vines.
You can't have it both ways. If green stuff is growing on the highway, it's also growing in the fields and the cattle would be breaking through fences, eating and multiplying the way animals do. American grasslands are growing enough beef to feed all of the United States and much of the rest of the world. With only a tiny population, there should be steak for anybody with a gun and a knife. And it seems like every single person in Kazzie's world had a gun and a knife. -
TEOTWAWKI
I was fortunate to be able these books straight through. What an adventure. I was some what disappointed in the ending. There should have been a prologue after all that. They did not have to live happily ever after, but it would have been nice to know that they headed in the right direction and start over. -
Probably not the best time to read this series but very entertaining and engaging
Kept me engaged through all five books. I disliked several "wrap ups" of character lines but enjoyed his way of weaving the stories together. Particularly enjoyed Rachel in the last book. Strong relentless character. -
Very engrossing
This was a great book. The characters are well fleshed out so I became engaged with their struggles. There were a few editing errors but not enough to distract from the stories. The subject was pretty believable. The very end was too predictable. But still ok -
Humanity in the brink of extinctiin
Really good story line. A virus takes out almost all of mankind. Those left face near insurmountable odds of survival. So many villans. A very engrossing story.
Only thing that annoyed me is the author constantly had an 11 year old boy " toddling". 11 is not a toddler, he knew how to walk. Choose another word. -
This epic was worth a second reading
Humanity is just about to be extinct by mad scientists. Murder, betrayal, trial by fire. Good people and evil ones battle for the right to exist. You will cry for some you come to like and other you may want to end if you could. This would make great mini series I'd watch.😁 -
Enjoyed this apocalyptic story.
This series is a different apocalyptic spin on the end of life as we know it. It's a page turner with a believable story line and great character development. Although heartbreaking, the unfolding of this story was riviting. -
Gripping!
Excellent story which I would thoroughly recommended. Well written and exciting enough to keep you up reading until way too late. I am looking forward to reading more by this author. -
Loved this series!
This author was new to me and didn't disappoint! I have read a lot of apocalyptic fiction but this was not your typical apocalyptic series. Lots of twists and turns. Very entertaining. -
This was a bit difficult to get through considering the times. But it was a great read, from the beginning of book one to the end of book five. The characters came alive, the story flowed. I couldn't wait to see how it ended.

great read
This series was absolutely amazing. It was action packed from the beginning to the end. It also made me think about how easy this could happen right now with everything that is going on in the world today. It’s definitely a great read. -
Very good story.
I loved how it came full circle and told the whole story.
Great writing. Extremely talented author.
Would love to hear more.
