About this listen
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 animal-like state with the sole impulse to find and kill the small handful of survivors immune to the virus.
Hunter served proudly in the Iraqi war until a sniper’s bullet cut his career short. Now back in the civilian world, he is working hard to make the adjustment from soldier to a private citizen.
Life in rural Kentucky is boring and monotonous after serving many years in the Army and traveling the world. However, overnight the world had changed and he wanted nothing more than to return to that quiet boring life.
Teaming up with a small group of survivors they flee the dangerous population centers in search of refuge in the countryside. He soon finds that the infected are not the only thing he must fear as disillusioned survivors start to see an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and turmoil for their own selfish needs and desires. Hunter must now lead a band of civilian and military survivors to safety against impossible odds.

This was an invasion; the complete and utter recolonization of planet earth had begun. As Armies fall and governments collapse, a small pocket of humanity manages to eke out a desperate existence in the Florida ...

Or do they find the will to fight, to try and hang on to the last shreds of humanity?

Didn’t really hold my attention
I don’t know if it was the AI narration, or the story itself. But this book didn’t hold my attention. The AI use of nine hundred eleven in place of 911 really irked me! Another glaring issue with AI voice narration is their failure to convey proper emotion. Stating that a character yelled, or screamed, or any type of emotion is lost.

Virtual voice was awful
I tried to hang with this story but just couldn’t. The virtual voice has zero inflection and mispronounced so many words that I had to go back multiple times to figure out what was being said.
The story had promise but the narration killed it so I stopped mid book.
No more virtual voice narrators for me, it horrid.

Could of been different
Overall, the story was good. Where the story fell short was with the narrator. I think they should’ve spent a little extra money and had an actual real-life breathing human narrate. The story was too robotic and lacked motion. When it came down to crucial inflections of voice or scenes in the book was very mechanical, not realistic on how people would actually talk. That would have made it a 5 start bold for me.

excellent story, very enjoyable
I was surprised that a virtual reader sounded so good. if I hadn't been told I wouldn't have known. Only telltale was when reader said 9 hundred and eleven for 911.
As for the story, I enjoyed it very much and have already started Book 2 and have been enjoying this too. I've started looking for next in series when I finish Book 2.

hard to follow
I hate when they use the virtual voice AI that is heartless and has no soul because you can't tell when it's an important part of the story line because the voice is so flat you don't know who's talking at a certain point the characters are hard to distinguish and follow along with the storyline

Starts Off Strong
So the narration is what caused me to stop a few hours in. This is my first virtual narration book. The book is written in such a way that only one person is talking, acting, thinking, or focusing at a time. Good for setting up a story and character development. When having to interact with others is where the narration lacks. There is no change in pitch or cues to differentiate between characters. I think the story would be solid with a person or multiple virtual narration.

Stereotypical Zombie Fantasy That Unintentionally Satirizes Itself
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.
