When Kate awakens from a plague-induced coma her nightmares have just begun. Barely clinging to life, she must wait for the snow to melt to find out if humanity has been completely wiped out.
Then the pings arrive—desperate messages that won’t leave her mind. Are they a figment of her imagination, or a spark of hope? They feel more believable than the frozen corpses she encounters everywhere.
Meanwhile, time is running out for six-year-old Travis. Stranded in the blazing heat of post-apocalyptic Texas, he pleads for help—communicating in the one way he can.

Ping—From the Apocalypse Book One eBook Susan Lowry
Well, the series and issues which are mentioned concerning the previous incarnation of this novel I believe are no longer a problem. I loved the flow of the story, the concentration on the characters, their personal trials and triumphs, and spacing of their personal details in a natural manner draws you closer to each of them individually. This style, versus the usual focus on the virus or event which caused the apocalyptic end of the world, made the work stand out in a sea of formulaic drivel.I enjoyed it, I recommend reading it and I will now go despite the next installment.

Ping—From the Apocalypse Book One eBook Susan Lowry Reviews
I really enjoyed this read. I think it's probably a bit realistic of what some one is like when they have the flu, especially one that has killed 99.9% of the population. I didn't think that the beginning was 'overkill'.
The book wasn't really gory, but definitely an Apocalypse read.
I felt really connected to the characters and am looking forward to reading more of them and their world.
First off, I understand that this was re-edited but it could use some polish. For me, there was too much use of endearing terms and a little too accepting of the circumstances and ability of the characters.
Now the important part, the story was really unique and not run of the mill apocalyptic. The cause was not nearly as important (and perfect for the story!!) which allowed for more to be said about post apocalypse events. With a bit more smoothing off, this would have gotten five stars. Well worth reading and I will for certain pick up the next part!
One of my first kindle singles back in the day, and one of my first PA Fiction reads. This is an amazing tale that has stuck with me even after reading another 400 books. Could posibly have been the first fix in my budding Addiction. Almost a blend of J. Druga and A. White, this read mixes the reality of the apocolypse with the magic of the human spirit. I recommend this book to EVERYONE at any age. Would love to read a sequel or any other fiction this author may share! Just letting you know I not only loved this book but I still REMEMBER reading it years later!!!
This story was well written and engaging, just....lonely. Which I guess was the point.
The story starts out in the middle of both a blizzard and an unexplained illness (flu-like, but with skin sores). The main character, Kate, watches her husband and neighbors get sick, even as she succumbs to the illness herself, as the blizzard continues to rage outside.
Lots of inner discourse and hallucinations, until she begins telepathically communicating with two people, one a little boy in Texas, and another that she calls Ping, who turns out to be someone very unexpected. Eventually, she hooks up with Jack, a doctor who had survived, who has a horrible story of his own.
There are very few survivors to this illness, and no outward threats as there are in other PA stories. This story is more about inner demons, and the surivors attempting to navigate their new reality.
Months pass in the blink of an eye and the turn of a page, and conflicts emerge.
The only explanation of the sickness and resulting death of nearly the entire world population is sketchy at best, but I think that's more because this book is not about the end of the world, it's about this particular group of people.
Not a bad read at all, but I wish there was more about the actual illness and other survivors....if there were any, which it doesn't seem there were. This book is a lot different than most PA books, in that there is not some rogue bad guy group out to rape, murder and pillage just because they can, which is a nice change from the norm.
"From the Apocalypse" sets itself apart from the zombie hordes of many futuristic stories. The author proves that it is possible to tell a really good, exciting tale without the zombie chases and without nasty people eating decent people such as in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" - my own preference for zombies are comedies like Simon Pegg's "Shaun of the Dead".
Ping, book one, is heart-breaking (Kate loses someone she loves); scary (especially the beginning chapters), sexy (but not "50 shades of gray"-ish) and romantic.
When gazillions of people perish, Ping gives us a view of what a world without out more than a few survivors might become.
Both versions pose interesting ways for us to question ourselves. One example, if there were only a handful of people left, would they chose to procreate or would they decide it's better to let the now endangered human race species die out naturally?
The 2011 version of this book was an unforgettable read but seemed to have some missing chapters. The revised version has been very much improved in many ways. The original was a great story that made me want a sequel and the 2013 revision is even better than the original.
"From the Apocalypse" is worth reading more than once, for example, at the end of chapter 20, where Sarah says "Trust me, you wouldn't want inside a mind like that." her words become extra scary if you've read the rest of the book.
Cool fact. People who have already bought the original can exchange it for free because it is an e-book. support can help buyers of the original version get the update. Thank you, .
