She shuddered in spite of herself. Maybe she was a little scared. He pulled her roughly to her feet, still in the sled, and thrust his hands under her bulging parka and squeezed her tender breasts. He pushed the parka up until the cool air made her nipples hard, as his squeezing had. She yelped in pain, her face reflecting guilt at her body's arousal, but didn't resist. He was so much larger than her, and she knew he would hit her again if she tried. She was concerned that he would hurt the baby somehow, and even though it was George's, it was part of her too.

Visions: Book One, by K.C. Miller
Jo Rogers of www.MYShelf.com, writes the following about Visions: Book One.

What would we do if the world as we no it was struck simultaneously by two incurable plagues - a computer virus that crashed every known system in the world, and a mutated smallpox virus that killed everyone but those between the ages of fifiteen and twenty-two? That is the premis of K.C. Miller's VISIONS: BOOK ONE.

Daniel is half white and half Native American from a small Indian village in Alaska. Daniel's mother died when he was born, and, since his father has been banished from the village, Daniel was adopted by the childless village shaman, Uppa, and his wife. Uppa taught Daniel all the old ways of survival in the wilderness, and how to interpret the visions he would have when he became Shaman.

At first, the elders rejected Daniel as Shaman because he was half white. They were as bigoted toward him as any of the whites were toward them. But when the twin plagues are unleashed on the entire world by the Middel East, Daniel is made Shaman. George Spark, his rival, runs him and his supporters out of the village, leaving Daniel and his small band to survive on their own.

VISIONS is not for the weak stomached, as hardships of disease, deprivation and depravity are graphically described here. The reader will face the same fear, the same horror when they encounter cannibalism and insanity that Daniel and his band of survivors go through. It is also unnerving in that the events described are all too possible. But it is still a gripping story, with lessons to survive such a catastrophe. And its cliffhanger ending left me begging for Book Two. Mr. MIller, when may we expect the rest of the story?

I thought that this book was a very easy read. It was a book that I could not put down because of the surprises that took place during the book. This book was one of those on what if this would happen if there was a computer viruses and a biological viruses out to kill the human race of people off the face of the Earth. I loved the Native Alaskan element of survival on going back to the old way of survival of surviving off the land for our needs. Instead of depending on modern day resources.
