Třetí vlna records a pandemic-driven social collapse through diary entries. The loss of basic services and safety turns everyday life into a struggle to survive, combining disaster fiction with the protagonist's personal experience.
Třetí vlna by Tomáš Dušek is a post-disaster science fiction novel written as the protagonist's diary. Repeated waves of a flu pandemic claim lives and gradually undermine society. Electricity, heating, and water can no longer be taken for granted, stores have been looted, and criminal groups threaten what remains of order. In this environment, the protagonist tries to survive further waves of illness and daily dangers. This is fiction based on a catastrophic pandemic scenario, not a medical or emergency guide.

What is Třetí vlna about?
The world of Třetí vlna is struck by a pandemic that arrives in repeated waves. The death toll rises and society's infrastructure gradually disintegrates. Electricity and heating fail in the urban setting, water stops running, and supplies collapse. Public order also weakens, allowing criminal gangs to gain ground. The protagonist records his experiences in a diary while adapting to conditions in which the future remains uncertain. The supplier describes the book as post-disaster science fiction. External records confirm the author, genre, diary format, and the original electronic edition's 260 pages and 2013 publication date. A later print edition has a different length and publisher; these are differences between editions, not a conflict.
