Earth Abides, 1949 by George R. Stewart [View all]
Re-reading .... classic fiction novel about a virus outbreak. First read it years ago. Was brought back to mind by my cousin who reminded me of my dad digging a bomb shelter during the Cuban missile crisis. The guy in this book had a "hammer" that he carried around. I still have my dad's 'shovel' (which I still cherish as sacred) that he dug the bomb shelter out with.
