I thought the premise and the overall story was very interesting and original. I'm a sucker for end of the world/post-apocalyptic stories and I don't think I've read one that's alternate history.

Pros:
- Interesting premise about germ warfare coming in the final days of WWII and changing the world.
- A scrappy dog is probably the best person in the story.

Cons:
- I hated the protagonist/teller of the story. He's a jackass and having to be told the story from his wretched point of view sucked.
- There was a lot of action sequences that were described, the story in fact opens in a long drawn out action sequence where people you don't know for reasons you don't understand are chasing someone telling you a story from their point of view. Imagine reading “Fury Road” instead of watching it.
