The Girl With All The Gifts

I enjoyed The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey which is set in England some time in the future.  A mysterious virus has infected the human race which kills millions of people and turns many in to "living dead" whose prey is any living human being.  It's a post apocalyptic story.  A small girl, Melanie, is one of several children who live in an army base and are receiving an education.  Later Melanie learns why this base was established.  She doesn't remember the world outside the building.  Every day is regimented by the soldiers at the base.  One day everything changes and Melanie discovers a wondrous and dangerous new world.  This is a gripping horror science-fiction thriller. 4/5
