Thomas McCarthy edited the summary of Autumn Thursday, September 8, 2011.

• In less than twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys almost all of the population. Billions are killed. Thousands die every second. There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonizing death. Only a handful of survivors remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead. A small group of desperate people take shelter together in a village hall on the outskirts of a large city. Too afraid to venture out into the infected world, their shelter becomes a prison and the frightened group begins to splinter and crack under the emotional and physical pressure of the inexplicable situation. Terrified and trapped without electricity, water or supplies, the survivors exist from hour to hour. Then the disease strikes again. And all hell breaks loose.

• The book evolved from the popular AUTUMN: ECHOES series (still available free from www.theinfected.co.uk). These 'snapshots of shattered lives' were used by the author to back-fill the stories of many of the characters from the original three AUTUMN novels. By giving each of them a background and history, Moody added an enhanced level of believability and increased the overall depth of the stories. For AUTUMN: THE HUMAN CONDITION Moody has re-written and expanded the original ECHOES series and has taken the opportunity to add several new characters.
