The Red King

Wyrd, Book 1

De: Nick Cole

Narrado por: Guy Williams

The end of the world is only the beginning as an odd band of survivors pull together to construct a modern-day castle amid the burning ruins of suburbia lost. As undead hordes and strange otherworldly monsters ravage what's left of civilization, things begin to go from worse to weird as each survivor's dark past unfolds, revealing that reality might be more than anyone ever thought, and that an ancient force from the outer dark has finally arrived to conquer. Stephen King's The Stand meets Lost in an epic confrontation between good and evil that spans history, time, and space.

Awesome! !!!!

I loved reading this book. And the audio version does a great job of bringing the book to life. Zombies. Nuclear Bomb. Time travel. Action. Suspense. Intrigue. A drunk, alternate reality hopping girl, and a guy who loves grilling up porterhouse steaks.

Great book

Cole’s work is like Stephen King’s work when he was younger. I can only assume that Cole, unlike King, taps into this genius fount without the use of alcohol and illicit drugs while forgoing gratuitously disturbing sexual imagery of which King’s work often indulges. Nick Cole is a master storyteller, new blood in a genre that desperately needs to be revitalized. I’am, a fan...

Excellent stuff!

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish!!

In my opinion this audiobook, is the biggest roller-coaster ride that I have been on. Yeah its an apocalypse story, with the living dead, but its the best one that little old me has read (there has been a few, believe me!).

It grabs you really tight by the short 'n' curlys.

A huge bow to Nick Cole! Everything that he writes is in his own unique style.

As Unexpected as Ever

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

Many great books are done a disservice by poor narration, but not this one. As always, Nick Cole immerses me in his characters and this audio version made that even more real . And, like most of Cole's stories, it's really hard to describe. Let's just say, expect the unexpected.

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

Yes indeed. I usually listen to a book while at the gym but this was one I couldn't wait until I got up the will go back and torture myself. So I did myself a favor and just listened to this one without much interruption.

Really good

I really enjoyed this. Not your usual run of the mill zombie fiction. Gripping, well-written, and suspenseful. Reminded me of vintage Stephen King.
