The Eleventh Plague

De: Jeff Hirsch

Narrado por: Dan Bittner

In the aftermath of a war, America’s landscape has been ravaged and two-thirds of the population left dead from influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived. But when Stephen’s grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma, Stephen finds his way to Settler’s Landing, a community that seems too good to be true. There he meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny. When they play a prank on the town bully’s family that goes horribly wrong, they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler’s Landing forever.

Great Story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Eleventh Plague to be better than the print version?

Yes, I liked the audio version of this book. It was very easy to listen to.

A better book the farther in I got.

From the get go I didn’t like the whole negative feel Stephen brought with him the whole way but made me like him more once he decided that there is a future to be had in a town.

This story would have been better if the female characters were played by females and not a high pitched man. But that’s the only “bad” review I have on this audiobook. Thank you to the guy that did the audio.

I Wish Dan Bittner Could Narrate all My Books!

The Eleventh Plague was, to me, as much about trust and loyalty as the aftermath of an apocalyptic event. The audiobook drew me in immediately...thanks to both Hirsch's writing and Bittner's narration, which was fabulous!

The book raising some great questions: How do you reestablish society after it has fallen? What things do you change? And when rebuilding society is such a precious and delicate process, what mistakes will you tolerate from others?

Interesting and thought-provoking

Any additional comments?

Although there were a few hokey dialogs, the story was intriguing. I thought the title was misleading because the plague itself is not a main element of the story; it is the aftermath that froms the basis of the story. I would have liked the story to be a bit longer; therre were many areas I would have loved to have seen developed a bit more. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the book.

good listening

My son recommended this book to me and i loved it so much that I had a hard time wait to hear the next part.

great book

this was a very good book and also what an ending.I love this book because it had everything I like adventure,romantic, and action.

Great unique take on an apocalypse story

The characters aren’t super deep, but they’re well written within a unique story taking a new spin on the classic apocalypse tale.

The poly twists were very unexpected

I loved the detailed explanations, the character development, the way the story progressed, and the way everything was portrayed.
