Everfree (2006)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: May 18, 2006; Writer: Nick Sagan; Genres: Fiction, Sci-fi and Fantasy; Publisher: Putnam

A clan of genetically tweaked ''Post Humans'' is raised in virtual reality, awakened, and charged with rebuilding a world wiped out by the ''Black Ep'' plague. In this trilogy ender, the wealthy and powerful — who froze themselves hoping for an antivirus — are revived, and the Post Humans discover that humanity is deeply flawed.

Genre Mash
28 Days Later meets The Matrix.

Lowdown
Everfree is smart and fast-moving but, like its protagonists, emotionally computerized.
