Jason
Brandon's debut novel, "Argosy," is a Sci-Fi thriller about an
apocalyptic virus from Asia and how a determined Cleveland, Ohio family
adapts to the chaos in order to survive.
The
protagonist and father of the family, Jack, is a university historian
who witnesses the sights and stench of death on the last day of the
school semester, which is foreshadowed by a "death by plague" dream in
the prologue.
Quickly,
Jack gathers the necessary resources such as food, water, and medicines
before rushing to ensure the safety of his wife, Emily, and their two
children, Vic and Lucy.
With
the government and authorities disbanded by the killer virus, the
family must fend for themselves in their 1,500 square-foot basement with
no power and limited supplies.
Nevertheless,
Jack demonstrates his creativity and resourcefulness to keep his family
safe often using keys from the historical past like the Black Death in
1348 to inform his decisions.
The
first-person narrative is captivating because it conveys a sense of
immediacy and presence with the characters as they navigate the world as
isolated survivors.
Overall, "Argosy" is a perfect read for fans of the post-apocalyptic genre and dystopian literature.
