A Changed World Box Set: The Complete 5 Book Series
Meet the good-hearted folks of High Meadow as they struggle through sickness, raiders, wildfires and food shortages in an effort to establish a sustainable community in a world brutally changed.
Book 1 - Lethal Seasons - In the near future, a virus has whittled down the human race. Cities are empty, farms deserted, factories abandoned. The world is running on a skeleton crew in a land ravaged by extreme weather. Nick lives at High Meadow med center. The people there stay hopeful as they work toward self-sufficiency. He counts survivors for Angus's research. He wants his life to stay as normal as possible in a world he barely understands. Wisp is a fugitive biobot. He lives off the land, moving from town to town, hiding his extrasensory skills. Silence and subterfuge keep him alive. Lily is a young girl with long brown hair and eyes the color of ripe cherries. She is searching for her brother. She is part of something that started before her birth. When these three lives intersect, a chain reaction of death and violence will change the course of the future and impact the very survival of the human race.
Book 2 - Scattered Seeds - As High Meadow deals with troublemakers, Wisp sets out to rescue Nick. In the search for answers, Nick discovers the country's infrastructure is teetering on the brink of collapse. Angus predicts that the high mortality rate from flu could cause disruptions causing people to flee. Tillie scrambles to plan for winter without train food. They once more have to learn how to live in a changed world.
Book 3 - Gleanings - As starving people overrun High Meadow, Tillie and Angus must do a delicate dance to keep the doors open. Angus has set the new boundaries. Martin works to keep it safe. Tillie struggles to get everyone fed while keeping an eye on the stores for winter. Within the flood of people, not all are who they seem to be. The people of High Meadow need to prepare for war or lose what they cherish most.
Book 4 - Lessons Learned - The president arrives at High Meadow with his entourage of bureaucrats and faux-military. Tillie and Angus don't have time for any distractions as a massive wildfire bears down on their settlement. At a time when they most need to work together, the outsiders are creating divisiveness. It will take more than hard work and good intentions to get them through this catastrophe.
Book 5 - Desperate Measures - The stability of the Survivor's Alliance is still fragile. They made it through the winter, but now it's flu season. Tillie and Angus try to prepare for every scenario, even the possibility that they will be the first to go. Nick works to bridge the gap until the spring crops come in. But there are changes coming that no one expected.

Fantastic Series
Must read for fans of post apocalyptic books. Upbeat and great characters. Some typos, but not enough to seriously annoy. Different concept, could not put it down.
