The Scourge, Book 2

By: Tom Abrahams

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

Length: 8 hrs and 25 mins

Publisher's summary

Binge listen. Keep the lights on. Lock your doors.

A mutating plague has killed two thirds of the world's population. Society has collapsed. And Mike Crenshaw is adrift.

From the world of The Traveler Series comes a new cast of characters, new obstacles, and the same devastating, world-altering virus which plunges society into the depth of a dystopian hell.

Adrift begins six months after The Scourge takes hold. And while the spread of the disease is no longer and immediate threat, those who survived are left in a world without infrastructure, without laws, and without protection. They must fend for themselves in a Darwinian landscape fraught with danger.

At the same time, a government lab is working to harness The Scourge, to make it into something the military can control and unleash upon its enemies.

It's a nightmarish addition to a story that will keep you up at night with the lights on and the doors locked.

Tom’s doing it again. Listen to this series on Audible is very satisfying! I’m going back to listen to the Traveler Series again just to get back on track. This has some parallel stories. Keep them coming Tom!

This was another great book in the Surge series.

A different perspective with some new and old characters.

Knocks it out of the park!

Tom Abrahams does it again! This book ties in some characters from the Marcus Battle series as well as some new ones that just makes this the start of what I’m sure will be another fantastic series of books, we’ve all come to know and love.

The Beginning of the End

Narrator is very good. Have to stay focused on each storyline. When group was safe.

A little heavy on "It's a man's world" side.

I have gone through the first and second in this series and both seem a little light on understanding women. I'm not saying the author should be more "woke" (i really hate that term.) But he definitely has some strong opinions about how men and women SHOULD be.
A whole Lotta "It's what a real man does" and almost all of the female characters demure to the males. even the attempt at a "strong" female character is only successful at portraying a stereotypical "Electra complex" character. A woman who feels she has to conquer every male and dominate them. So much so, I can't see her as anything more than an exaggerated representation of a woman. I certainly cannot find it believable she is a gifted scientist.
the story I enjoyed, albeit was a simple one, and I enjoy the voice of the narrator. I just find the characters flaccid and one dimensional. in truth, very little separates each character. the lack of diversity in the characters almost makes one see the story as told about one person having a fever induced dream. one where that character experiences the apocalypse by making different choices.
one, he is a good guy but something of a coward. another he survived a brutal childhood with a felon father. and still another where he married and had two children. *shrug*
I didn't even realize the main character "Mike" was younger until another character mentioned his appearance after seeing him from a distance.
anyway, generally a decent story, but poor character development.
