The Cure

De: Gary Chesla

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Winfield Junction was a town where nothing ever happened. It was a small isolated community out in the countryside northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a few miles off of Interstate Route 28. No one paid much attention to the small community and Winfield Junction paid little attention to what was going on in the outside world. When strange things started to occur around Winfield Junction, it took them all by surprise. The zombie apocalypse had begun, causing the power and all forms of communication to go out. The residents of Winfield Junction had no idea what was going on and they would never find out what had happened. A large horde of the dead hit the town in the middle of the night. By morning, except for two people, all the other residents of Winfield Junction were dead. Three days later, when the last two remaining Winfield Junction residents finally ventured out of their basement to look for help, they couldn’t believe what had happened to their town. They soon found themselves again running for their lives. A car load of survivors from the neighboring town of Freeport, fleeing the dead out on the interstate, arrived in Winfield Junction just in time to help them escape a gruesome fate. The Freeport survivors were on their way to Kittanning in a desperate attempt to find a safe haven from the dead. They took the Winfield Junction survivors with them. The last two Winfield Junction residents however had a secret, a secret that if the others found out, could make being with the Freeport survivors more dangerous than the zombies they had just escaped. Their lives had just been turned upside down, but that was only the start of what was to come. In Kittanning, Doctor Diane Wyatt struggled to make sense out of what had happened. She made a startling discovery that presented her with an opportunity that mankind might never see again. Diane’s father, former Navy Commander John Wyatt, was doing his best to keep their small group from being overrun by the dead. But against such overwhelming odds, one nagging question hung over their heads as they struggled against the dead. Was it even possible for anyone to survive?

Liable characters

I simply do not like virtual voice. But I did enjoy this story. It was kept light without gore or cursing and had a different take on immunity.

A Brilliant, Enjoyable, Story

I really enjoyed listening to this story, and got through it in a couple of days. The characters are well developed, and it was not possible to guess how it was going to end. The virtual narration wasn't bad at all either, and was not an obstacle to becoming immersed in the storyline. While this is a complete, well rounded, story, I would definitely be happy to get a sequel to this if one ever becomes available. I do hope that Gary Chesla is still writing. The last one he wrote, Un-Natural Selection, according to Amazon dates back to 2014. I had a look online, but can't find any more information, or news, about him. Given the variety, and scope, of his novels, it would be disappointing if he doesn't write anything else. I definitely recommend giving this book a go.
