About this listen
Man is no longer at the top of the food chain.
The Purge has devastated the globe, turning much of humanity into night-dwelling, bloodthirsty creatures (dubbed "ghouls" by the survivors), while small pockets of remaining humans have managed to carry on.
With the loss of their sanctuary, Will and his small band of survivors are forced to seek shelter. Following the call of a mysterious radio broadcast, they make the treacherous journey to Louisiana, where an island might hold the key to survival.
Along the way they meet new survivors, clash with new enemies, and renew old acquaintances that have been forever altered. Collaborators - humans working with the ghouls - are more dangerous than ever, and the ghouls have begun a new phase of their domination.
Will learns that a larger war between survivors and ghouls is raging in the rest of the country, but before he can join the fight, he must first ensure the continued survival of his group at all costs.
Where the Purge ends, the Gates beckon...

It's been six years since a terrifying breed of seemingly unkillable creatures emerged from the darkness to topple the unprepared governments of the world, in the process knocking mankind down the food chain. Survivors called it The Purge. A few brave souls rose from the ashes of the old world to fight back, often against overwhelming odds. Led by indomitable heroes, they risked everything to achieve a final, stunning victory over the supernatural "ghouls" in The Battle of Houston. Five years later, what remains of the ghouls have fled back into the shadows.

Story
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

Story
In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

The exciting continuation to the Babylon series
What did you love best about The Gates of Byzantium?
The first book in this series started a strong endeavor in world building, while never deviating from the importance of character development. Gates of Byzantium continued on the path of creating a complex, in-depth exploration into a brilliant conceptualization of a post-apocolypic zombie world.
What other book might you compare The Gates of Byzantium to and why?
I would hesitate to compare this book to others. Sam Sisavath has done a phenomenal job of creating an original story, and I believe he has succeeded to the degree of crafting a unique saga that, while comparable to elements of other books, is best considered in its own context.
Which character – as performed by Adam Danoff – was your favorite?
I was pleased with Adam's performance with all of the characters, and really could not single one out as a favorite.
Who was the most memorable character of The Gates of Byzantium and why?
As with character performance, I did not feel one character was more memorable than the rest-- each character contributes a unique facet to the overall story.
Any additional comments?
While there are a number of "zombie books" out there, I would highly recommend this series for its novel take upon the genre. You will find that the plot never dulls as you progress through the story arc, and while some events are predictable, each book will surprise you with a new twist.

An enjoyable book
Where does The Gates of Byzantium rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
While Gates of Byzantium is the first audiobook from audible that I listened too I would rank it fairly high.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Gates of Byzantium?
I dont find any particular moment in itself memorable but several moments and those being the banthering between our two spec-ops boys...specialy Danny's Bad humor :D.
Have you listened to any of Adam Danoff’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first whole Adam Danoff Book I listened to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Giving this book only 4 out of 5 storywise as I found the first book in the series better then this one. But do not get me wrong, its a good book and Im looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Every bit as good as the first book!
Worried it wouldn't be as good as the first book. But I was definitely not letdown. I really enjoyed the fact that this author does not mind killing off a main character. I could do without all the love stories though.

Another great novel from Sam.!
The first novel Purge of Babylon really captured my imagination. All the res of the following series is just as captivating. I can see and feel the scenes. Sometimes you get a great story in the first book of the series and then it loses momentum. This isn't the case with the Purge of Babylon series. They are all equally exciting. Doesn't feel like some of the cookie cutter series I've seen. If you haven't yet read any of his novels download the preview and you'll be hooked like I was.

Good but not great
I really enjoyed the first book. This one wasn't as good in my opinion. Not much really happened. I always like hearing what Will and Danny are up to, but the other characters weren't as interesting and the ghouls were almost absent. I need more "blue eyed ghoul" back story. Next book I guess.
