After the Cure

De: Deirdre Gould

Narrado por: Miles Taber

Eight years ago, the December Plague swept through the human population of Earth. The infected were driven mad by the disease, becoming violent and cannibalistic, killing even those closest to them without hesitation.

Six years ago, the tiny surviving community of immune humans found a cure, and the infected began to wake up and realize what they'd done...and what had been done to them.

Over time, society began to rebuild itself. Now, it is ready to judge those responsible for the Plague. Nella Rider, the court psychologist, and Frank Courtlen, a defense attorney, are trying to establish the truth. But more depends on it than they know. They race to find the answers they need before the fragile remains of humanity vanish for good.

Better Than I Thought At First

This isn't the best book I've ever read or listened to, but, it is so much better than many in terms of character development. Overall, I think this book is good and deserves to be read even though the narrator is a little lacking.

After the Cure Audio Book Review

Would you try another book from Deirdre Gould and/or Miles Taber?

Possibly.

Would you recommend After the Cure to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, but only to a selected few. I would recommend to readers of apocalyptic-type books who like and believe in the legal system/court process.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator's natural voice is very easy to listen to. I personally didn't care for his other voice characterizations.

Any additional comments?

I was given a free copy of this audio book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you for the opportunity, Ms. Gould!

Do they have Zombie Anonymous meetings now?

Fresh take on a familiar tale - sure there is a virus that turns humankind into walking, mumbling zombies, but this time it's curable. I'm generally not a fan of cozy mysteries and this was the cozy mystery version of a zombie story, but it was workable. What surprised me the most was that this is the first book in a long series - it had enough closure to be a standalone book and I don't see an obvious next step for the plot.

My biggest complaint was the narrator. There were times I swore the doctor's name was Nella. Other times, it sounded like Noah. Or Nolla.

Great Story

I loved the story. I had read the story a long time ago. I did not enjoy the way the heroine is portrayed in the performance. She came a cross through the voice as a breathy, almost damsel in distress voice. The voice actor did fine with everyone else, but not with her. Nella is a strong, female character and Miles Taber didn`t get that across.

Excellent

This book would an excellent story line for a television series. If I were the author I would submit it .
