Good start to a series

This series has potential. After reading the next one, I will update my review. Thanks

H1N1 comes to life

This is all too familiar in 2020. Good adventure read, (spoiler) kinda sad. Zombies as forgetful people, scary dark.

He never disappoints!

Great fast moving story. That sounds eerily like what is happening now to some extent. This author has me hooked.

Pretty Good

Great start, story was interesting, and the narration was pretty good. I'm gonna give the second title in the series a listen.

good story line

I liked this book because it can actually be true. however it was to short

Just stops

The story line is pretty good… until you get to the end, when it just stops. Thinking that the next book “Black Rust” would bring closure, I bought it. It doesn’t bring closure at all. Once again it just stops

Short and sweet

This book pretty well sums up 2020. It took me a totally different way than I thought it was going also.

short and strange story, but worth listening to

End of the world scenario, but not like a zombie apocalypse. I would recommend but will reserve my full review after I have listened to the 2nd book. Hopefully it will be longer as I was just getting to know the characters and committing to the whole series. Am I correct that there are only 2? And written in 2016 might might mean that would be the complete series. I think I am interested in more of Bobby Adair's novels, by audible only, so will look into more. Narration was great.

Black Virus

I enjoyed this short story. It is redundant by now,but still well written . I agree that a virus can mutate to survive . Nasty little things . And like other plague events the few that don’t participate in ending it . Yes the dreaded vaccine that can lessen the worst effects , AKA Death . It will not leave anyone alone . Good Luck with life. Listen to reason .

The world was an asylum and the patients were out!

The H5N1 virus is spreading throughout the country killing millions of people. The disease had several names; the Black Virus, H5N1, or the Brisbane Strain. Everyone had the virus but not everyone had the prion encephalopathy (TSE) that caused the debilitating effects, reducing your intelligence to that of a five-year-old and worse. Symptoms may be similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), an extremely rare degenerative brain disorder. Christian Black was lucky, he didn’t have the prion variant. Two years had passed, the economy was dead, people were starving. The prion-infected people were called degenerates. They were rioting everywhere and destroying everything they came across. Christian was a good young man and determined to take care of his parents. Amid chaos and barbarity, things don’t always work out as we would like. In losing everything, Christian found something new.
