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.

Worth a listen

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

Hard to get through.

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.
