The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival

Purge of Babylon, Volume 1

De: Sam Sisavath

Narrado por: Adam Danoff

One night. That was all it took.

Creatures that once lived in the shadows, hidden from humankind, have risen, spreading like a plague across the globe over the course of a single night. Their numbers growing exponentially through infection, these seemingly unkillable creatures have swallowed up whole cities and collapsed unprepared governments.

Survivors call it The Purge.

Against all odds, a disparate group of survivors has emerged from that blood-soaked night that devastated the planet and reduced humanity to an endangered species. Among the survivors are two ex-Army Rangers, a businesswoman, and a third-year medical student. But surviving The Purge was one thing - staying alive is another matter entirely.

Hope exists in the countryside, in the form of a self-sustaining underground facility designed to withstand any calamity. But in order to reach its safety, the survivors must travel hundreds of treacherous miles, with the night - and the creatures that dwell within it - always at their backs.

The rules are simple: Stay out of the dark, load up on silver bullets, and whatever you do, stay alive.

The road to salvation has begun…

Great listen!

Was a really great story with good characters. Really hope the rest of the series end up on audible soon.

Just okay

I found the narration to be fine...but the story didn't hold up so well. Not terrible....just so-so.

Fantastic!

Absolutely Brilliant and very much worth the listen. Can't wait for the rest of the books to come out on audiobook

Start of a Good Ghoulish Nightmare.

Hard to tell , I liked the C4 option.

I have read all the Books so far and you can't go wrong with this series. Enjoy!

Great book

Loved it. Original take on zombie genre. I think it's mostly written for those who love guns and action. Can't wait to read second book!

good zombie series

second or third time listening to this series, it's a good one, the later books aren't quite as good as the first 5, but the first 5 segments are amazing!

AWESOME!

Would you listen to The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival again? Why?

YES!!! I have listened to this three times already. It's a great story and I can't wait for the next one!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival?

The story line is so plausible and it makes the story just flow along. I find myself wondering what my response would be.

Have you listened to any of Adam Danoff’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I haven't listened to Adam Danoff's performances before, however, I did enjoy it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Dawn. What happens at dawn.

Any additional comments?

Keep em' coming.

To read, and now hear it also !!

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

Yes ! I would recommend this audiobook to any and all. This is a excellent book from Mr. Sisavath. And now, being able to also listen to it also .. there really is no reason not to be listening to it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

With a audiobook this good, HOW can I choose just one favorite character ? I like all of the characters.. so sorry, I can't choose just a favorite. :)

What does Adam Danoff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Mr Danoff brings his voice strong and clear to an already good book, so with both combinations.. The Purge of Babylon in audible form, is something you simple do not want to not get.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Did this make me laugh or cry ?.. NO.. it made me want MORE!

Any additional comments?

I did give the audible performance 4 stars, due to the fact that for my preferences, Mr Danoff was reading the book a little fast for me. But his voice was clear and strong, and I especially loved his renditions of ' speaking what the characters was saying ' . So go ahead and get your copy of the audible and or book form, and you will also decide like me, that this is one fantastic audible book to have.
There is adult language in the audible, so I recommend it should be for young adults and older.

Narration was perfect! Story? Not so much.

What did you like best about The Purge of Babylon: A Novel of Survival? What did you like least?

The plot was pretty good and kept me listening. The narration was fantastic! Adam Danoff did a great job capturing the characters and the feel of each scene.

But the characters had no depth, there was a lot of repetition, and all the females seemed to care about was catching a guy to take care of them. That last part frelling annoyed me.

What does Adam Danoff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Adam brings additional depth to the story. The narration is a bit flat by itself, but Adam brought it to life.

enjoyable story

I liked the story for the most part but have to agree with another reviewer, the narrator read it a little fast.
