Interesting plot and characters!

I love the interesting story line and characters but would most likely listen to anything that Graham Halstead narrated.

Pretty Good but annoying Plot holes

I like the story and some of the suspense but it really annoying to have the character not able to figure something out that is painfully obvious main example being that (Spoiler Alert) John kills a man who was part of a team sent to investigate whose last words where about clicking sounds. Then after the characters hear clicking sounds coming from a field after learning that child zombie had upgraded intellegence they conclude it must be nothing just bugs which doesn't make any sense for the way the characters have been the whole time. I understand that is suppose to be getting the reader excited. knowing they are in serious danger but this way just makes the characters seem dumb when they haven't been most of the time.

action from start to finish

the action continues through the whole book as the heroes fight a new threat. as usual the writing is great however most characters take a back seat to the main 2 which isn't bad just don't expect any character development. I enjoyed it and if you have already invested in the series you won't be dissapointed.

Good

Good book, very good narration happy it’s not read by AI voice. On to the next book

Least favorite of the series

The book skips forward I think around 4 years and I really want to hear about events mentioned in the times between such as Denver. Seems like something happened with the relationship with Duncan and so there are gaps in story. I also felt a lot of it was predictable, but won't spoil that. I love the rest of the series so far, but feel this one in particular was lacking.
