Forgotten is the sequel to Lockdown. "The Lockdown has failed. The AM13 virus is spreading out of control and there doesn’t seem to be any way of stopping it. The Government announces its new plan—a sanctuary in an area completely untouched by the infected—as long as you can get there unscathed of course..." The book centers around 3 main characters; Ethan - an OCD sufferer who's obsession with cleanliness might just kill him, Alyssa - an overly confident daydreamer who knows she has all the necessary skills to survive and Dr. Jones - the scientist who is absolutely going to cure the AM13 virus...isn't he?
<p>"<span style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;">After completing Ms. Sand's first book on the zombie apocalypse, I had to read the second. This also is a great read. The virus has spread, people are dying, and zombies are real. Even an older person like me, who once did not understand the attraction, does now. The characters, Leah, Ethan, and many others come to life on the pages. I found myself pulling for them. AM13 was spreading out of control. Death surrounded them and those they love. Samie Sands has tremendous talent which is skillfully demonstrated in both Lockdown and Forgotten. Can't wait for the next."</span></p> <p>"<span style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;">I loved Lockdown, so I was looking forward to the sequel and it did not disappoint! Forgotten is filled with great characters that drive the plot along in a fast paced exciting way. I read a lot of zombie apocalyptic books, and this series is one of my favourites - I can't wait for the next installment! 5*, highly recommended!"</span></p>
