The Last Survivors

A Dystopian Society in a Post Apocalyptic World

By: Bobby Adair, T.W. Piperbrook

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

Survival in Man’s Second Dark Age

Three hundred years after the fall of society, the last fragments of civilization are clinging to life, living in the ruins of the ancient cities in nearly-medieval conditions. Technology has been reduced to legend, monsters roam the forests, and fear reigns supreme. But that is just the beginning...

The wind-borne spores are spreading, disfiguring men and twisting their minds, turning them into creatures that threaten to destroy the townships. Among the townsfolk, political and the religious, dissension is spreading.

Through it all, a mother must protect her son...

HOUSE OF BARREN WOMEN

WOMEN LIE AND MEN DO NOT
Let's get something straight, the rating is not low because of the treatment of women. These were the only two quotes that stuck out to me. The best part of the book is the universe these two have created. It is a bit different, I even like the infected. It is based on a real disease that inflicts insects in, I believe South America. I saw a special on one of the nature channels once and they showed these ants go crazy, become physically deformed and then what looks like a painful death. I found the book very slow. Very little happens, the whole books is a set-up for the series. They spend a lot of time telling us things, little time doing anything. As another reviewer mentions the infected are just background. This had more of a feel of The Handmaid's Tale, than a Zombie book. The whole book takes place over three days. We are told women strip in front of the whole town and are felt up in front of the whole town and we are told that it is humiliating. We don't actually live through it as a woman.

My mind wondered often and I never really felt much empathy for any of the characters and there were no WOW moments. I will not continue the series.

Loved this story

I was lucky enough to be given a free copy by T.W Piperbrook & I'm so grateful. What a fantastic story! When it finished with a "to be continued" I literally said out loud "Nooooo".

Having the first chapter of book 2 at the end of book 1 was such a tease. I can't wait to hear book 2. Hurry up you guys.

My new favorite

it made me want to help them.. i was that invested.. about to start the next one

Great

Great story, Great author. It is absolutely worth the purchase and read. It has adventure, humor, drama, all that you want in a book. You wont be disappointed.

Entertaining

When the book started I was not so sure I made the right selection, even an hour or two in. But as the story got going I found myself intrigued with the world and views they shared. By no means is this a deep book, but seems thought out . Sean did a great job reading as he always does. I was worried it would remind me of a Tufo story. While I like Tufo books, it was nice the narrator sounded different. Definitely will continue the series
