    Nina - a career girl living alone in Manhattan - offers Travis McGee companionship and the first loose thread in the elaborate fabric of a gigantic swindle. Now, she's leading McGee on a wild and tortuous chase into the decadent world of high society, the ruthless world of big money, and the weird world of hallucinatory drugs.

    Facing down an unprecedented malevolent enemy, the government responds with a nuclear attack. America as it was is gone forever, and now every citizen - from the President of the United States to the homeless on the streets of New York City - will fight for survival. In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, earth's last survivors have been drawn into the final battle between good and evil, that will decide the fate of humanity.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I really enjoyed the Matthew Corbett series, so I was expecting something as good...NO.
    This is a dark copy cat imimtation of The Stand. Full of poorly drawn characters that don't convince. Only Steven King can convince you to believe the unbelievable.


    What could Robert McCammon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    He should stick to history.


    How could the performance have been better?

    It would have been easier to listen to if it was narrated by someone else!


    Was Swan Song worth the listening time?

    I struggled to the end of a marathon in which I gave up the chase.. I don't think I was listening at all. Even the narrator lost interest and was thinking about something else.


    Any additional comments?

    I did finish it, to the very end...but I'm sure I wasted my time.
