Dan is going about his normal life, when a biblical style apocalypse descends and he wakes up to find his family are among the few that still remain alive. The lead up to the apocalypse was cleverly conceived and it really got me interested in the story and what was happening to Dan and his family. I wasn't very impressed with any of the women in this story; they appeared very whiny, weak and dependent. And it wasn't so much the fact that Dan, a married man, became involved in a ménage à trois relationship, but the way in which it happened that was disturbing to me. Laura was manipulative, forceful and selfish, and I really didn't like her. And I didn't think much of Dan for giving in so easily to the situation that Laura put him in. Aside from that, the Daimones and their interaction with Dan was fascinating, giving the story a bit of a paranormal twist, and I found the descriptions of their day-to-day existence and attempts at self-sufficiency very interesting. This book is followed by Once Humans.
