Survivors

The Morningstar Strain, Book 3

De: Z. A. Recht, Thom Brannan

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Survivors is the all-new soul-shattering climax to the postapocalyptic trilogy, featuring a deadly virus, military action, global devastation - and zombies.

A lot can change in three months: Wars can be decided, nations can be forged...or entire species can be brought to the brink of annihilation. The Morningstar Virus, an incredibly virulent disease, has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. The infected hosts rampage, attacking anything that remains uninfected. Even death can’t stop the virus - its victims become frightening and deadly cannibals. Scattered across the world, embattled groups have persevered. For some, surviving is the pinnacle of achievement. Others hoard goods and weapons. And still others leverage power over the remnants of humanity in the form of a mysterious cure for Morningstar. For the survivors, the peril remains, and the search for a cure goes on....

Great job!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Survivors the most enjoyable?

So the trilogy comes to a long anticipated end. Thank you too the family and friends of Z.A. Recht for contributing to the continuation of the story and finally ending a trilogy that is sure to be a cult classic. Brannan's writing style is similar to Recht.

I am not going to post any spoilers but just say the book IS as good as the other two. The only downfall is the ending, which I believe could have used a little more time on since there will not a forth installment to follow the vaccines progress.

Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?

General Sherman, and Dr. Demilio

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes!!!

Good. But could have been so much better

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

As i had already invested time into the first 2 books of this series, it was time i NEEDED to spend to finish.I dont think i would have the same commitment if this was the first in the series.But, to anyone out there that has read the first 2 books, then this is a must read. Just for closure

What was most disappointing about Z. A. Recht and Thom Brannan ’s story?

Obviously a hard job for Thom to step up and finish writing this without Z.A. Recht. Overall, i think it was an ok effort, but could have been so much better.For me, then ending felt a little rushed. Especially compared to the rest of the book, and i needed to re-listen to a few passages to get a clear picture of what was happeningI dont know if it was the circumstances that this book was written, or the fact it came to an end, but this book really leaves you wondering what if...

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Oliver Wyman?

No one.BUT.... It would have been nice if he had have some preparation and matched the accents and voices he used in the first two booksNot enough to be a terrible listen, but enough to be annoying

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes, but only because of the series. This book alone would not do it for me

Any additional comments?

I would be lying if i said i wasnt disappointed in this book. the first two books had me hooked and i found myself looking for any excuse to listen to it. This one, no so much. Obviously, anyone that has read the first books will want to read this, but dont hold high expectations.Still, im glad i completed this story and it is a real shame about the original author. Such a talent lost

Finally...closure

Any additional comments?

Narration of Oliver Wyman is excellent and helps with the continuity of the story line. Overall, a satisfying end to a great series. RIP Z.A. Recht

A great read/listen credits well spent :)

Would you consider the audio edition of Survivors to be better than the print version?

Equally enjoyable in both formats, but I love to listen to good books.

What did you like best about this story?

Its continuation of the series is tight and exciting. The charters are believable and the hero's aren't stupid but still are humanly normal. Villains are very nasty and persistent, but beatable.

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

Yes a very good performance which conveyed all the excitement of the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Morningstar Strain can you escape will mankind survive ?

Any additional comments?

A great Listen from start to finish.

A good continuation of the story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, this series is excellent

What did you like best about this story?

the coming together of characters from the first book to the end, I found myself saddened by some events and joyed by others - as it should be.

Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?

Perfect, glad Mr Wyman did all three

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but just could not due to time constraints

Any additional comments?

A great listen, the whole series is well worth the time
