Stunning. Part science fiction, part thriller, part murder.

Fever

The title says it all and the resonance with what is happening with Covid-19 now is eerie. Written by probably SA’s best thriller writer it is an amazing story of a struggle to survive the world wide devastation caused by a mutated coronavirus. Set in South Africa, it is written as a retrospective diary / history concerning the life of a survivor, his family, and his community. It is quite violent in parts but I guess that comes with the territory when societal norms are shattered. I could not put it down and I am still trying to work out the implications of the end result of the book. No spoilers from me other than to encourage you all to get vaccinated against the current strain of the virus.
