White Horse / Alex Adams / 306 pages

White Horse is the name of the plague that killed 90% of the world's population.  Thirty-one year old Zoe Marshall alternates between then - pre-apocalyptic times, and now - post-apocalyptic times.  Taxes are no longer certain - only death.  "The survivors do what they must.  Because if they don't, they'll topple into the remnants of their life where they'll languish and turn to dust."  It all started with a U. S. attempt to control weather.  When they are successful in stopping a cyclone, China demands the technology.  When they are denied, they retaliate with an electronic Pearl Harbor.  The Internet ceases to exist.  Global war ensues.  Zoe discovers that her employer, George P. Pope, owner of a pharmaceutical company, unleashed the plague knowingly.  Zoe, the lab cleaning lady, but  much, much more, strives to remain human - kind, merciful, and compassionate, amidst Armageddon.  She also traverses the world in search of Nick.  This is one of the best Apocalyptic Literature books I've read.  Thought-provoking, inspiring, horrifying....
