Can A Shocking Resurrection From Extinction Save Mankind?While the world succumbs to the horrors of a great flu epidemic, a woman vows to protect the perilous fate of a bird whose existence manipulates the destiny of man. In this suspenseful tale, part Michael Crichton, part Rachel Carson, a global virus sets the tone, but it's a one-pound bird that determines who lives. . . and who doesn't. Science collides head-on with the untamed in this powerful novel of redemption."A wonderful reading experience... I think anyone who picks up this book will be changed by it." Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, Ph.D., Author of When Elephants Weep and Dogs Never Lie About Love"Quick Fall of Light shares Rachel Carson's fears for our planet and exhibits Woodley's own "sense of wonder," as well as her sure instincts for mystery and suspense."

Brenda Peterson, Author of Animal Heart"This book has everything! Great characters, vivid language, a shocking resurrection, and birds. I loved it!" Sy Montgomery, Author of Birdology.

The story line is an interesting one - can a supposedly extinct bird species provide a cure for a deadly flu? Told through three characters and their struggle to survive while presenting several philosophical questions.

The book struggles in continuity and transitions - better editing is needed to help with flow of story. The antagonist's sections tend to be the most distracting due to the choppy tangents but I think as a whole, this book is worth reading because of the discussion that can ensue afterwards.

Keep reading the book- just skim through that which gets bogged down from tangents. There are some beautifully written passages that evoke the wonder of nature and of conflict(man v. man, man v. nature, man v. self).

I look forward to reading more from Sherrida Woodley. ( )
