About this listen
Awareness grows... The gathering commences.... The world has changed. Jack Walker and the other survivors must adjust with it if they are to have a chance. They've managed to stay one step ahead so far but the gap is narrowing. The night runners are growing and adapting. The rules are changing. Winter is coming and the survivors must ready themselves for the long season. With Robert and Bri rescued from captivity, Jack focuses on the days ahead. His mind weighs on ensuring their supplies will see them through and clearing the night runners away from their sanctuary. There are changes in the air that threaten not only the safety of the small band of survivors, but perhaps the entire remnants of mankind. The deadliest threats Are those that build unseen...Book I - A New World:Chaos, Book II - A New World: Return, Book III - A New World: Sanctuary, Book IV - A New World: Taken, Book V - A New World: Awakening, Book VI - A New World: Dissension, Book VII - A New World: Takedown, Book VIII - A New World: Conspiracy Book IX - A New World: Reckoning

Jack, a sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical ex-special operations pilot and soldier is one of the few left to struggle through the desolation left in the aftermath; seeking to survive as a new ferocious species emerges from the rubble, hungry and unrelenting. Will his special forces training be enough? Will he be able to keep his children safe and guide the few survivors through perils that now roam the world they once knew? Or will the hordes that now own the night prevail, forever removing the last of mankind from existence?

Story
The world of man was brought to its knees with the zombie apocalypse. A hundred and fifty years have passed since man clawed and climbed his way back from the brink of extinction. Civilization has rebooted, man has begun to rebuild, creating new communities and society. It is on this fragile new shaky ground that a threat worse than the scourge of the dead has sprung... Once again, one man finds himself once thrust into the forefront of a war he wants nothing to do with and seemingly cannot win.

What would happen if a viral agent was released on American soil? How would local agencies react? How would the military respond? What if it was one of their own? Would they own it or attempt to cover it up? If a major operation was jeopardized because of the release, would that alter any of the decisions? A potent viral agent, created to destabilize a region for forces to move in and clean up, is accidentally spilled in a metropolis. Those infected serve only to afflict others through any means.

Humanity is plunging down a slippery slope of morality. Righteous attitudes abound with malice, hatred, and discontent prevailing in the currents riding through humankind. In the spiritual planes, battles between the light and darkness are being fought over souls for their very existence. Assailed on all sides, heaven is left with no choice but to open the seven seals. The horsemen are summoned and ride forth. Conquest, the drums of war, hunger, and death are felt by all. Humanity is left standing on the brink where the slightest tremor will send it plunging into the abyss.

Story
Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

As the first waves of injured bystanders, guardsmen, and rioters arrived at hospitals, it became apparent that a deadly new disease had been unleashed on the population. Whether the virus was naturally occurring or an escaped lab experiment, Cade hadn't a clue and wasn't especially concerned until he learned of its unprecedented virulence, unusual method of transference, and the fact that, according to the news, it brought the newly dead back to life, semi-mindless, and with an insatiable desire to feed on the flesh of the living.

Jack is Back!
What did you love best about Awakening: A New World, Book 5?
Jack''s growing ability to sense the NIght Runners
Have you listened to any of Mark Gagliardi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
In this new reality, there is no such thing as safe
Any additional comments?
Loved the continuation of the series, with Jack doing everything he can to help the men and women that also helped him. This is his new family and taking risk are a part of him. For his family, Lynn and his team, Jack will always make the choice to help. He can't walk away because he knows to do so would allow the Night Runners to win becase there is no where he can go, no safe zone as the Night Runners continue to hunt and feed on humans and all living creatures decimating everything in their path. It is literally an US or THEM situation.

My Book 3 Review was meant for this Book.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Hearing the Night Runners side of the story, It takes away from the Survival Horror element.
Would you recommend Awakening: A New World, Book 5 to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, overall good story and character building just some things make you shake your head
What three words best describe Mark Gagliardi’s performance?
To Cartoonish
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes, if the director took away the Night runners Mental ability and turn them back to the scary mindless predators they started out as
Any additional comments?
The Author needs to know when he has a good story and work this that but adding mental abilities to the Night Runners (talking and sending pictures with their mind) stocking up on Supermarket supplies, and two night runners all of a sudden becoming more intelligent and aware and controlling other night runners is plain silly. and is taking away from the good story he built. Night Runners coming with no thought no reason but just to devour you is way scarier.

Absolutely one of the best series on audible. Well narrated and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time. You'll laugh out loud often and you feel as if you are right there with the characters. Every detail is explained and described in great detail. . you can imagine everything so clearly. Which is the mark of a good book in my eyes. Thank You John O'Brein for countless great hours of entertainment!
