From New York Times bestseller Mira Grant comes Countdown, a novella prequel set in the thrilling and treacherous world of Feed.

The year is 2014, the year everything changed. We cured cancer. We cured the common cold. We died.

This is the story of how we rose.

When will you rise?

Review of 'Countdown' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Did you ever wonder about the lead up to Feed? Want more details about the mutated virus that ended the world as we knew it? Welcome to Countdown.

It's just a tease of the details. You get a tiny bit of how the Masons came to be who they are, but not really. You get a tiny bit of how the two mutations came to become one, but not enough. Like I said, just a tease. Plus the cuteness of Marigold. Be ready to get just a tiny bit upset once you read it.

I recommend not reading this until you've read the main trilogy, but that's just my opinion. 3 stars.
