A deadly strain of flu has mysteriously mutated, causing the deaths of millions throughout Ireland and beyond. But the infected don't stay dead for long, rising up to become flesh-eating monsters. In a quarantined lab just outside Belfast, lab worker Ellis and security guard Abe fight their way through corridors of the living dead, determined to expose a gruesome truth.

I enjoyed the first book and wanted to finish the series. I liked it. First half is a lab outbreak infected dungeon crawl, second half is the virus spreading in the community, then it's a bunch of conspiracy theory talk

Story
After receiving a distress call from a drill team on a distant planet, a skeleton crew is sent into deep space to perform a standard search-and-rescue mission. When they arrive, they find the planet littered with the remains of the project - including its members’ dead bodies. As they try to piece together what could have possibly decimated an entire project, they discover that some things are best left buried - and some monsters are only too ready to awaken.

This book is about teenagers piloting ships in space. Tropes galore. Story meh and silly. Grating lead characters.

It is entertaining so far, but the predictability, bad decision making, and stereotypical characters are making it hard to continue on. Hopefully I'll really get into it. On bad decision making whenever I say to myself "these are terrible decisions" I feel like that's a sign of not a great plot. However, there are characters in the story voicing the same concerns about the decision making, and while that character is being setup as a "bad guy", I'm fairly certain he'll turn out to be the biggest advocate for the childish main characters when the time comes. Guess we'll see

Cheesy story where the main character always knows best. Which is not a compliment. Awful story.

Yet another apocalypse story where the main character seems to have the answers for everything. Narrator sounds like a tax accountant. The "bad guy" neighbors are cartoonish and the main character is a fool. I want to return this so badly. Don't buy it

Story
They call it Pandoravirus. It attacks the brain. Anyone infected may explode in uncontrollable rage. Blind to pain, empty of emotion, the infected hunt and are hunted. They attack without warning and without mercy. Their numbers spread unchecked. There is no known cure. Emma Miller studies diseases for a living - until she catches the virus. Now she's the one being studied by the US government and by her twin sister, neuroscientist Isabel Miller. Rival factions debate whether to treat the infected like rabid animals to be put down, or victims deserving compassion.

This is a very intelligent take on the "infected zombie" trope. I really loved the detailed discussion of government functionaries, a smart guy getting prepared, and the philosophical questions raised by the main character. Really well done

Like the title says. I was laying in the dark listening and I was so disturbed that I had to take a break. This is a good thing. Haven't been creeped out by a horror audiobook in ages. The infected are genuinely scary.

It began as a terrorist attack against the United States and Europe. Middle Eastern terrorist squads infected with a virus engineered to strike at the heart of the Western world in the name of Islam. When the virus mutated without warning, the infection took on a dimension and scale beyond any rational explanation. Spreading across the globe like wildfire, it left millions dead in its wake. Worse than the initial body counts are those that suffered catastrophic and irreversible brain damage. The infected retain nothing of their former selves and instead they are reborn in an aggressive ...

Stereotypical Zombie Fantasy That Unintentionally Satirizes Itself
Reviewed: 07-05-24
The stereotypes in this novel are so overbearing that it's almost unintentional satire. We have the alpha-male former soldier/cop who is constantly thinking about honor who treats his female sidekick as mentally challenged, the Arab terrorists willing to kill the entire world in furtherance of their Jihad, the Black man with a unusual name which is commented on about 4 times, the female who is concerned with hooking up during the apocalypse after she reads "50 shades of gray", the team member who doesn't take orders and will be the foil to the main character because he wants to be team leader, the stereotypical pilot, and on and on. It's just non-stop basic. I did enjoy the detail that went into describing how the plague is released and the military brass' discussion regarding their plans to deal with it. The AI narration is awful, even mispronouncing the main characters names, but I got used to it.

Story
What started as a flu outbreak on a military base proves deadlier than Ebola. Sympatico Syndrome is unlike anything the world has ever seen. Victims' behavior is changing to accommodate the rapid spread of the virus. Former Navy epidemiologist Cole Evans is well aware of the rare, infectious diseases the military studies. He also knows the government's stance on sharing information with the public, so if the media has already learned about the disease, then it's too late to contain the outbreak.

Procedural Style Infection Story - Well Done
Reviewed: 06-29-24
I'm a fan of what I call "procedural infection/zombie" stories, where the plot is more concerned with the process of the outbreak, the process of things falling apart, the process of survival rather than the typical alpha-male fantasy type story, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with. This story provides a unique and "novel" take on an apocalyptic infection, with a central premise which makes sense. The novel also details a realistic series of events in regards to how the main characters survive. I really liked it. There were parts where some of the characters behaviors were stereotypical but for the most part that's kept to a minimum.

In 1968 the world experienced a brand-new kind of terror with the debut of George A. Romero's landmark film Night of the Living Dead. This was something new...and terrifying. Since then, zombies have invaded every aspect of popular culture. But it all started on that dreadful night in a remote farmhouse.

Not a single interesting story
Reviewed: 08-05-23
Lots of long-winded stereotyping and "boring" stories. Not scary at all. I feel bad saying this but I had to skip most of them because they just weren't interesting to me. Might appeal to others who are more into the literary fiction tradition rather than the pulp thriller zombie tradition like I am. At least this isn't full of "bad boy military operator that's good at everything and kills zombies" tradition. Those are even worse.

Story
These 31 stories are fiction. Short and scary. Delivered to you in small, terrifying bursts, much the way you’d experience each individual room in a haunted-house attraction. They were specifically written to be enjoyed by both the not-too-young and old alike. Inside, you’ll find horror, drama, even a few laughs - and zombies. Zombies by the ton. Gnawing, gnashing, stumbling, and staring... Right. At. You. Waiting…for a bite-sized offering.

Series of stories about kids during the zombie apocalypse

I didn't realize that these stories would be all about kids, but a good portion of the stories were engaging and fun. A bunch were duds as well, but not enough to not finish the entire book. Pretty good for a free offering
