Publisher's summary

[Human After All was previously released under the titles, Xom-B, Uprising, and Freeman. The author’s preferred title is Human After All.]

Freeman is a genius with an uncommon mixture of memory, intelligence and creativity. He lives in a worldwide utopia, but it was not always so. There was a time known as the Grind—when Freeman’s people lived as slaves to another race referred to simply as “Master.” They were property. But a civil rights movement emerged. Change seemed near, but the Masters refused to bend. Instead, they declared war.

And lost.

Now, the freed world is threatened by a virus, spread through bites, sweeping through the population. Those infected are propelled to violence, driven to disperse the virus. Uniquely suited to respond to this new threat, Freeman searches for a cure, but instead finds the source—the Masters, intent on reclaiming the world. Freeman must fight for his life, for his friends and for the truth, which is far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined.

Robinson’s lightning fast, cutting-edge novels have won over thriller, horror, science-fiction and action/adventure fans alike, and he has received high praise from peers like James Rollins, Jonathan Maberry, and Scott Sigler. Human After All is a wildly inventive zombie novel with a high-tech twist that will keep readers guessing until the very last sentence.

Finally good sci-fi with a unique plot

At first, I was concerned that this is yet another zombie work of fiction, but the story is so unique and so well performed all the way to the final five minutes of the book. I think it may have been possible to use another plot device than zombification, but it overall doesn't detract from the story. The author does a good job at leading you down a direction and then surprising you with some truly unique aspects of the story. The vocal performance was excellent.

So creative

Jeremy Robinson always surprises me. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen …he makes it even better

Fantastic

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book - robots, zombies and great writing what more does a person need from a book? So much so, that as soon at it arrived and I was greeted with the choice of listening or sleep, I chose to listen and I definitely don't regret that decision.

As always, Jeremy Robinson has written excellent characters that you love or/ and hate in equal measure. I thought Xom-B was fantastic, it incorporates lots of thoughts on what it is to be human, with nasty enemies and a few surprises. I'm waiting for the announcement that it's going to be a movie because this is the sort of book that is crying out to be made. We as an audience need it.

R.C.Bray did such a wonderful job with this narration, he really brought the characters to life and sets the scene extremely well. I enjoy his work a lot.

Original and Assume!

For all you tired Zombie fans out there that think you've heard 'em all; you haven't, there's one more twist on the "undead" genre. I know there's another book out there called "Zombies vs. Robots" or vice-versa, whatever, this book by 'JR' is head and shoulders above the other book by way of story, character development and definitely narration. R.C. Bray did a fantastic job telling the story. With most above average Zombie books the focus is on the survivors(in this case androids) and how they adapt(good or bad) to the undead situation. You can classify this book as Zombie/Horror but at it's heart it's actually a "coming of age" story about one young android in particular and the choices he makes and the lessons he learns. It's almost, dare I say, touching?

Whether you're a Z-Horror fan or just a sci/fi fan in general this is a unique solid listen that's worth the price.

Freeman is Lovable ... This books saving Grace

In many of the reviews it states this book is not about Zombies. And indeed it is not. It is about a Robot that becomes Human.... His evolution and humanity is written very well. As far as the rest of the story you could interchange it with various world ending events, but it still comes down to Freeman, the A.I. that could. I really did like this story and R.C. Bray did well, but his voice and tenor was for the sci-fy of the story. I think a softer narration would have suited Freeman's character better.

Zombie by any other name would ...

spell as unique

I'm not usually drawn to zombie/undead novels but since I've enjoyed audiobooks from this author and narrator in the past, I decided to give it a try. To say that this was a unique take on that genre would be an understatement. There are lots of twists and surprises that unfold gradually during the telling which help keep the story interesting and they act as milestones for when the story arc makes a course change.

Props to both Jeremy Robinson for his writing craftsmanship and R. C. Bray for his skillful narrating performance.

Come for the RC Bray and stay for the story

Interesting story that kept me listening and guessing until the end.

I'm a huge RC Bray fan. As usual, he delivered.

Amazing!

This being my fourth book to complete using audible was a captivating story that kept me entertained the entire way through.

not bad for a robot thing

ended well worth it but not my favorite Robinson. robots are hard to relate but he did a good job try.

Well done.

Great story line and performed very well. Would listen to again down the road. Maybe a prequel is in store?
