AntiBio

AntiBio Series, Book 1

De: Jake Bible

Narrado por: Joel Richards

Antibiotics. They have failed. All that's left are the Strains - bacteria so strong, they have brought the world to its knees. But humanity has fought on, carving out pockets of civilization in a wasteland known as the Sicklands, creating the super high-tech Clean Nation cities.

From the cities, GenSOF has been born - Genetic Special Forces Operations. An elite military branch of the government that enlists men and women with specific genetic anomalies that allow them to be hosts to bacteria that even the Strains cannot defeat. Under the watchful eye of Control, GenSOF protects the Clean Nation cities from the ever-encroaching Strains and the diseased inhabitants of the Sicklands.

But now, Control has other plans for GenSOF, and possibly the Clean Nation cities themselves, and it is up to the operators of GenSOF Zebra Squad, and their cloned Canine Units known as bug hounds, to find out what those plans are.

Or die trying.

Great narrator

Interesting and unusual perspective on post apocalyptic earth. The narrator did a great job with character definition and conveying emotions suitable to the circumstances. It helped pull me through slow or chaotic moments without losing track of the story progression. GREAT JOB HUMAN NARRATOR!!

Pretty Cool Story

In the future, bacterial germs have wiped out most of humanity. People live in small cities, separated by hundreds of miles of wasteland. The cities are filled with sterilization technology to prevent anyone from contracting illnesses, leading to mild paranoia and prudishness. Meanwhile, some poor souls inhabit the wastelands, struggling to survive. The only interaction between the groups occurs when a rare breed of people with specific immunities, who are recruited to a special forces unit, venture outside the cities on missions.
This story has a unique spin on the apocalypse, and humanity’s attempt to reclaim the planet. There is plenty to enjoy in this story, though it isn’t my favorite Jake Bible book. Still, I am intrigued by the series and will continue it.
Joel Richards does a solid job narrating this story. I particularly like how he voices the AI characters.
