Product Description

By day it's cats and dogs, by night it's mice and rats, and if the birds don't get you then the insects will. But hey, that's life at the bottom of the food chain.

One normal summer day, every mammal, reptile and avian on the entire planet unite with a single goal: The extermination of mankind. Three days later the insects join in, and it doesn't stop. It never stops.

Ten years later, scattered pockets of humanity fight to keep flesh and sanity intact as they strive to unravel the mystery of what made the animals change, and more importantly, how to change them back.

Excellent Read!
I found the book to be an easy read. I found myself being pulled into the book and identifing with the characters. All of the characters are likable and interesting. I also found myself wanting to get to know the people in the book on a more personal level. I could not put the book down. I am looking forward to the following books from this author.

I loved this book!
I really enjoyed this book! It's been a long time since a book has kept my interest long enough to read it through in one sitting and this was the one! It's a great story, fast paced with no lulls and the style of writing makes you think you're really there. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Read It!
I found New Wilderness to be an easy read. The author leads your imagination with true character development along an unique story line. The twists and turns leave you anxious to turn the next page and a little bit sad when you've turned the last. I'm already watching for more novels from this new author.
