Zombie Apocalypse Aftermath: The Night Sweeper

The Sweeper Saga, Book 1

De: J. Steven Butler

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

It's 2105 and Cray has a killer life - literally. He spends every night hunting zombies to keep everyone else in New York safe. Of course he's alone, had a dysfunctional childhood, and could die at any moment, but that's not so bad. Right?

After all, thanks to his tireless efforts and the efforts of the other Night Sweepers, society has a fighting chance of recovering from the zombie apocalypse and being normal again.

Enter Jonathan Harbin, the son of the psychopath that made the virus that created the zombie horde. Emerging from obscurity, he claims to have created a new strain that could decimate the remaining populace of the planet. Suddenly everything Cray has fought for could be gone overnight. There's only one solution: Harbin has to go away. To do this, he's going to have to join forces with the stunning Mira Winston, a government agent with dark secrets of her own.

Thus begins a dangerous infiltration that will lead him to terrifying revelations and the brink of death. He will quickly learn his society is not what it seems, and that he's more connected to Harbin than he could ever have imagined.

Really Good Story

Any additional comments?

Really liked this book.

Interesting and entertaining take on zombies, aka Festers.

Scientist created virus, genetic enhancement, possible cure, great characters, betrayal, suspense, mystery and a lot of action all add up to a great story.

Both of the main characters are great. Cray a sweeper is partnered with Mira a highly trained (enhanced) operative on a mission to rescue the son of the scientist who created the fester virus. This does not turn out to be a simple rescue mission. The secrets they discover along with betrayal will have life altering changes for both of them.

This is the first book by J. Steven Butler I have read. I will definitely be the rest of the series.

John Pirhalla did a good job with the narration. Easy voice to listen to. Nice even pace and spoke clearly. Great voices for the different characters.

Different spin on Zombies - Great Performance

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

Good 1st effort by Butler. Book 1 focuses more on the Zombie exterminators and the intentional infection of the population and less on the Zombies themselves. Narrator very good with different voices especially Cray. Hoping for more creatures in book 2.

Superhuman Zombie Hunter Meets his Match

Nice twist on the popular Zombie Apocalypse. The infected are neither slow nor dead, but fast and deadly. Although there were some unbelievable parts, such as one hunter who protects the entire city of New York, I enjoyed the book overall. The book contained no graphic sexual scenes or profanity, making it appropriate for teens to read. I was unsure that I would enjoy the book as it was difficult to get into, but by the end of the book I was enjoying it. Looking forward to the next book.

Has Very Little to Do with Zombies

I don’t usually listen to zombie books but this one sounded interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. I’m really glad I did because it actually had very little to do with Zombies. Sure there were Zombies and one of the main characters, Cray, is a zombie hunter but the majority of the story was focuses on the “zombie virus” and the scientist who created it.

Cray is partnered with Mira to track down the scientists son to prevent him from releasing another version of the virus just as society is beginning to recover from the extreme loss of population. What Cray and Mira discover along the way is shocking and completely unexpected to them. I usually try to predict what will happen in the plot as more clues are given but I wasn’t able to figure everything out in this one.

The story talks about virus creation and genetic manipulation but it is not overly scientific so I do not think it will confuse or bore anyone.

The narrator, John Pirhalla did a good job with his performance, his female voices weren’t the best I’ve ever heard but they also weren’t the worst. I would listen to another book performed by him.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Good Apocalypse

A different apocalyptic/ sci-fi thriller with hint of “Mission Impossible”. It has the festers (zombies) and loved the main characters of Cray and Mira (Sweepers). Worth listening too or reading. Was in my wish list now have. Look forward to the next book to find out what happens next.
