ARES Virus: Arctic Storm

By: John O'Brien

Narrated by: Mark Gagliardi

What would happen if a viral agent was released on American soil? How would local agencies react? How would the military respond? What if it was one of their own? Would they own it or attempt to cover it up? If a major operation was jeopardized because of the release, would that alter any of the decisions? A potent viral agent, created to destabilize a region for forces to move in and clean up, is accidentally spilled in a metropolis. Those infected serve only to afflict others through any means.

As forces move in on the beleaguered city, Sergeant Brown has to make his way through roving bands of the infected in order to escape. Will the ring close before he can reach safe grounds or will he and others he finds be added to the final tally?

Kick ass!!

Mr O’Brien needs to do more audio books ! One of the very best writers out there!

Definitely worth the time!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, the author and narrator are fairly new to me, however I was pleasantly surprised at the complexity of this story. There was a significant amount of emotional investment in this book/characters on my part. I can base this on how angry I get at the characters and the situations they get themselves into. It had the right amount of humor and drama, I laughed out loud at many a punchline! I'm about to start the next installment and am looking forward to the twists and turns the journey will take.

great story

great book the story was good to bad it back fired on them now the world is dead lol

Listening for that "OH, No!!" moment...

Don't let your mind wander, or you'll miss it. I enjoyed this, despite military lingo and overabundance of procedural stuff.

John O'Brien kicks butt.....again

When a package is wrongly sent to a college lab, no one could know that inside was a deadly virus. As the student lab technician is attempting to return the package he is knocked over and the package is damaged and starts to leak. This is how the world as we know it ends, with a wrongly delivered package. On campus Sergeant Brown and a couple of his ROTC students realize they must get off the campus and out of town before its completely overrun with the infected. The Ares series is amazing and quick paced. It's an exciting read and I highly recommend it.
