How far would you go to save the human race?
In 2017 a virus sweeps across the world and infects every living person. It lies dormant until a woman gives birth. Then she dies.
Fifteen years later, nobody has survived childbirth since the outbreak began. Teenage wheelchair athlete, Antimone Lessing, discovers she is pregnant. She has no recollection of events leading up to the conception. When she unexpectedly gives birth and lives, she becomes a vital clue in the race to develop a cure before the global population declines beyond the point of no return.
But survival comes at a price. As her doctors try to understand why she is still alive, she must choose between preserving humanity's future and protecting the life of her newborn child.

Reading the storyline intrigued me. However, sometimes that's as good as a book or movie gets. Decimation had a great storyline but the actually story was billion times better! The author did a great job describing the events that took place around this virus, how it came to be, how to cure, et cetera, with twists and turns along the way. Parts of the explanations actually encouraged me to research some things and science can sure be interesting!One mark of a good book is that it can provoke feelings. This one brought out some strong feelings for sure, mostly anger. I think the corruption you see within the biotechnology company is reminiscent of what we have going on in our pharmaceutical community, and it's truly sickening. They do what they want when they want and how they want. People don't seem to matter.
Anyway, the book itself is very well written, and is something I would recommend. I was hooked on the first page, and each chapter ended just the right way that made me want to keep going. Towards the end I really struggled to put it down.

Decimation The Girl Who Survived edition by Richard T Burke Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Amazing book! Antimone is your average teenager with the normal angst you'd see, with one exception -- she's in a wheelchair due to an auto accident. There's also this nasty virus out there, one that only attacks pregnant women. Once she gives birth, the mother dies. Through a very nasty teenage "prank", Antimone finds out she's pregnant. What happens next . . . . but I won't give it away.
Suffice it to say, this book kept me on the edge of my seat in the second half -- and it ended in a particularly gruesome, yet totally satisfying way. I have no doubt, if Richard writes a sequel, it will be the same.
I loved the concept of this story. In the future, a disease causes pregnancy to kill. Populations are decimated and billions are poured into research. Some are willing to go to the most ruthless measures to find a cure.
Then a girl lives after giving birth.
Should she sacrifice herself to save the human race?
I also really liked that the main character was in a wheelchair and raced competitively. So awesome. There's much to love about this book.
Decimation the Girl Who Survived by Richard T. Burke
As an avid reader of all book genres, sometimes I feel my own reluctance as I approach the end of a book. A good ending seems to be quite an art of the pen and paper. When I realized Decimation was coming to a close, I braced. As I read the last paragraphs, I felt this author nailed the perfect ending. I would add the word satisfying except due to the nature of the ending, that would be a bit cruel on this readers part. He also was able to end the book, but leave it open enough for a sequel. I do hope there is a sequel Richard T. Burke.
The story
It is the year 2032 and our main character is a teenaged female named Antimone she had been looking forward to competing in the Paralympics, but instead she is 9 months pregnant and has THE virus. This mutated virus caused women to die in childbirth. No mother has yet to survive childbirth. But there is always an exception. Can the exception be the key to finding the cure and save the human race? For this reason, the cure is a billion dollar race for ruthless drug companies to find the panacea so to speak.
I found this novel, unique, fast paced and somewhat disturbing with all the betrayal involved.
My only complaint about the book is that, it seems that technology would be a bit more advanced 15 years into the future than this novel portrayed.
I'll be waiting for the sequel.
What a heck of a ride! Mr. Burke has given us a hopeless scenario and shown us that it is the result of megalomania.
Antimone is a paraplegic and confined to a wheel chair as a result of a traffic accident. She is pregnant by a rape that occurs at a party under the influence of drugs. No woman on Earth has survived pregnancy and child-birth in nearly twenty years…the future of the human race is threatened by a virus that remains dormant until childbirth and then kills the mother.
Rosalind Baxter is CEO of Ilithia Biotechnology Corporation. She and a colleague, Dr. Perrin are allegedly seeking a cure of the dread virus. However, Baxter has another agenda…and Jason, her son, together with Antimone and her baby, hold the key to the future…a future that Perrin’s son, Max, inadvertently and out of anger has simultaneously threatened and assured.
Decimation is a novel of wheels within wheels, plots within sub-plots and subversion at the highest level. The characters are fascinating. Antimone and Jason are very likable and it is easy to cheer for them. The reader will stay on the edge of their chairs with fear for Antimone and Jason. Rosalind is a madwoman and total narcissist by any definition. She is really easy to hate as is her security chief…until even he begins to question her judgement. Dr. Perrin is clueless and pathetic, blinded by his work. Max is an idiot who winds up playing a key role.
Decimation is a great thriller that is generally well-written and edited. It would be a great read for anyone who loves suspenseful books!
Decimation The Girl Who Survived is disturbing. It had me hooked from the first page and kept my interest until the last. It’s the year 2032 (not that far in the future), and a virus will destroy the human race if a cure is not found. Mr. Burke does an excellent job of creating flawed characters who ignited my emotions, causing me to feel anger, hate, pity, compassion. The story is intriguing, the plot compelling, and the author writes about the scientific aspects of the virus in a way that is “disturbingly” believable. I would recommend this book not only for sci-fi thriller enthusiasts but also for anyone who wants a darn good book to read.
