About this listen
As a deadly Ebola outbreak tears through Africa, a new, horrifying strain emerges—one with nightmarish side effects. When containment efforts crumble, the virus spreads like wildfire across the globe, plunging humanity into chaos. But the true horror isn’t just the sickness—it’s what comes after. The dead aren’t staying dead.
In the heart of Charlotte, NC, a small group of survivors is left behind as the city collapses into an undead nightmare. Abandoned by the authorities and surrounded by flesh-hungry hordes, they embark on a desperate journey toward a rumored refugee camp on the outskirts. But as they fight to stay alive, they quickly realize that the walking dead aren’t their only threat—the very forces sworn to protect them have become just as ruthless, just as deadly.
In a world where the rules of civilization have been erased overnight, survival means trusting no one—and fearing everything.

But when civilization collapses overnight, he finds himself back in the fight of his life. Teaming up with a band of...

A handful of survivors with natural immunity to the virus are alone in a world that now belongs to the infected. Hunter Ashcroft, a wounded vet of the ...

When the black rain began to fall, it was a worldwide phenomenon that mystified everyone. There was little time to ponder the cause. Most animals died at the onset. While some humans were unaffected, others experienced a half-death of sorts, morphing into blood and flesh-crazed creatures with a desire to hunt the living. Climbing Fox Wattana of the Henomawi Nation claims responsibility for the black rain; he says it will will ensure the ultimate extinction of the United States government as revenge for robbing his people of their land. Cole "CB" Baxter isn't taking this lying down.

Great story wack AI Voice.
I can respect the starving artist and using any means of getting your book on Audible, but the AI voice over makes the story mundane and slow. Author should’ve spent a little extra hiring a narrator or narrating himself. Won’t recommend due to AI narration and mispronunciation of simple words.

This novel built everything up to the completely anticlimactic ending, & then just stopped. No resolution, just humming along & then it was abruptly over.

storyline stayed in line, didn't stray with a lot of side stories.
The ai reading stinks, words misspoke or changed some, having different voices for different characters would be nice instead of the one man. Overall good book, 4.5 hours, good fast moving story that started with an origin, not in the middle of the apocalypse.

It's a Decent Short Story
The AI narration is ok for AI, but a person could have done a better job. The constant use of the 3 letter title in front of one if the main character's name was irritating and served no purpose. Otherwise, the characters are well developed and the story is good. Typical zombie take with no surprises, but it was a good listen.
