Patient 3

By Chris Chau and Jane Wong

In the near future, a mysterious neurological disorder infects one in fifty thousand people and spreads when the host is conscious and active. Cerebral Nervorum quickly leads to the degradation of the individual's motor functions and memory until an inevitable death finds them days later. Unable to afford gene editing therapy to tame this disease, Michael elects to take the route of being placed into a medically induced coma with the support of his fianc e Eve. This is the common treatment option for the lower and middle class of society to cope until a cure is developed and viable for the general population. Several years later, Michael and five other patients awaken to a world where an alien force has nearly wiped out the inhabitants of Earth and flattened its cities. The group faces a deadly game of cat and mouse from these beings and simultaneously a race against the clock from the fatal disease that is eating away at their minds and bodies. Michael and the patients learn that there is an underground sanctuary where survivors are gathering a few miles away. What keeps Michael going is an audio journal Eve left for him during his hospital stay. It allows him to hear his love's voice and gives glimpses of the past and events leading up to the invasion as he traverses the wasteland of the city in search of the human encampment.

Customer Reviews

Not as described, Greatly disappointed!

1 star, not as described, greatly disappointed Patient 3 by Chris Chau The blurb on the book described this as a dystopian novel, complete with aliens and life and death situations, But, upon reading 75 % of the book, come to find out, the entire book is a dystopian novel, but it's about a reality show in the future. I didn't sign up for a reality show. Quite disappointing that the book is all fake and a company/studio went out of their way to hurt people. There was no conclusion to the story of Michael and Eve, who the studio even tried to break up their marriage with their lies. I respect the sanctity of marriage and don't care where this book was going. If it had stayed on track before the reality show aspect was revealed, it would have easily made it onto my FAVORITES book list, but because of the twist into reality showbiz, I can barely give it a 1-star rating. I've deleted this book from my library. Highly recommend you stay as far away as possible from this book.
