About this listen
Erebus A science fiction, apocalyptic thrill-ride like no other
***WINNER of the 2018 audiobookreviewer.com Thriller of the Year!***
After lying in wait for millions of years, deep within the Earth beneath Mount Erebus on the frozen continent of Antarctica, an unforeseen threat emerges, leaving a scientific research team to face the horrors that await them at the bottom of the world, alone.
Steven Bird is also the author of The New Homefront Series, as well as the Society Lost Series. His work can also be found in several Kindle Worlds novellas, including The Edge of Civility and Jet: Dangerous Prey.

Decent enough narration without any real charm or effort, just a man with a pleasant sounding voice reading aloud what it says on the pages.

This is my first time with anything by Steven C. Bird, and genuinely I've been impressed by it. Take a team of scientists, stick them in a remote cut off location, and unleash horror upon them (in this case, a deadly rage virus). Take elements from 28 Days later, The Thing and 30 Days of Night, and stick them in a blender.
Main reasons to read this book:
Good, Descriptive world building - Antarctica is vividly described, and you can feel the isolation
Likeable characters - some don't stick around long enough to get to know
Well paced, and well written story - Slick, and never feels like it has been padded out
The Virus doesn't just "exist" - There are justifiable reasons for it existing (even if its unlikely). I've read this during quarantine, so Virus' obviously seems very plausible at the moment.
Erebus sometimes feels like a Dennis E Taylor book (Boboverse, Outland) and that's never a bad thing.
The ending does feel a little rushed, and its disappointing you are not able to get more of a connection to the characters (there's a cast of 20? So understandable).
Kevin Pierce does a fine job at narrating, and also has a similar cadence and speaking style as Ray Porter (thus increasing the Dennis E Taylor comparisons)
Overall, an excellent read. Will be trying other Steven C. Bird works in future

Pierce's narration is adequate but some of the character voices are too similar at times making differentiating them troublesome at times. That said, all are audible and the sound is noise free.
Overall this is a worthwhile listen in my opinion.
