About this listen

Texas? Toast. Battered by five cataclysmic hurricanes in three weeks, the Texas Gulf Coast and half of the Lone Star State is reeling from the worst devastation in history. Thousands are dead or dying - but the worst is only beginning. Amid the wreckage, something unimaginable is happening: a deadly virus has broken out, returning the dead to life - with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. The nightmare begins....

Within hours, the plague has spread all over Texas. San Antonio police officer Eddie Hudson finds his city overrun by a voracious army of the living dead. Along with a small group of survivors, Eddie must fight off the savage horde in a race to save his family.

Hell on Earth. There's no place to run. No place to hide. The zombie horde is growing as the virus runs more rampant. Eddie knows he has to find a way to destroy these walking horrors... but he doesn't know the price he will have to pay.

A thoroughly enjoyable and well written book from beginning to end, looking forward to reading more from Joe McKinney.

Funny, gripping and thought provoking.

I liked the tense nature of some of the scenes described. You believed in the main characters and shared in the emotional state of affairs. An enjoyable listen on the zombie apocalypse storyline.

Great characters

Although part of an over arching story, it's nice to have a stand alone from a different perspective. Good narration and script make it an easy 8hr listen

Worth a listen

Story is compelling and makes you want to continue. SPOILER It was nice to have a story where the military win and gain control. Enjoyable book.
Down side was certain words and phrases were repeated excessively but not enough to make me stop listening. Completed in two days.

Great.

Not bad for a free download but the main character is annoying and does some very silly things. It’s also a bit repetitive. The narrator’s voice is somewhat grating and he doesn’t always distinguish between characters.

I probably wouldn’t pay for another by this author, but might listen if it was free.

description of the scene

I gave this book multiple chances. The narrator doesn’t have range. And when breaking into different characters there is no difference in the voice just in the tone. The way he speaks makes me want to go to sleep. It’s very boring and droning. This is a story that could easily have been told In half the time that it was. The story itself definitely had promise but it gets lost in the narrators dulcet tone.
I love apocalypse books and zombie books. If this book was a person in the zombie apocalypse it would be put out its misery in the opening moments of the apocalypse.

Hard to get through.
