Matt Voorhees awakes surrounded by a pile of VHS tapes in his cryopod, on the outskirts of an abandoned summer camp, along with eight other seventeen-year-olds. A scientist, who was tasked to watch over them while they were cryogenically frozen is dead. They have no idea where they are, or more importantly, where the rest of the frozen people are. When they were put into cryosleep, they were with their five thousand closest friends and families—but now they’re all alone. Their personalities clash while they try to formulate a plan. Some want to live it up, while others want to find their parents and the others. Left with only the tapes as a touchstone to the past, Matt is forced to survive the new world filled with intense floods and frigid blizzards.
Camp New Beginnings wasn’t the safe haven they were expecting.
This is a quick, fast paced book. Partly because of that speed, some things are skimmed over - I'm still a little confused about the apocalypse and why these people were chosen for cryosleep. It can't have been a lottery, because whole families went together, so I'm nt sure.
However, not knowing that small detail didn't mean I didn't enjoy this story. Weather apocalypses are rare, and arguably scarier than zombies. I got a basic sense of most of the characters, and I'm intrigued by the mystery surrounding the scientist and his assistant. I have a few theories about them, but I'll have to wait for the next book to see how well I did.
A great quick adventure read.
