Story
In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Editorial Reviews
Christian Rummel gives a thrilling performance of Timothy W. Long’s end-of-the-world novel Beyond the Barriers. His resonant voice is the perfect fit for protagonist Erik Tragger, and he is able to inhabit other characters with a delightful ease. Tragger’s world is filled with danger: zombies, ghouls, and looters all pose a threat. After months in the mountains, he joins other survivors who want to journey to Portland, where humans are attempting to regroup amidst the chaos. Will they make it? Will humanity survive the onslaught of the undead?
Publisher's Summary
The day the world ended, Erik Tragger escaped to the mountains. Cut off from civilization for five months, he returned to find a ruined city now ruled by the living dead. Tragger joins a group of survivors with a plan: make it to Portland where humanity is carving out a stronghold. But along the way, they face opposition at every turn - the dead, rogue military forces, looters - and a new enemy more dangerous than any they have yet encountered.
Among the stumbling, mindless zombies are ghouls. The ghouls are living dead creatures that not only strategize and plan, but control their shambling brothers. Using their powers, the ghouls are building a living dead army to eliminate the last of the living.

much better than expected
Any additional comments?
one of the better zombie books i've listened to. the writing places you in the middle of the action, and there’s a lot of action. the action is intense, and the battle scenes are terrifically described and realistic. the action had me on the edge of my seat. this is one zombie book, where you can feel the onslaught of the hoard!
the book opens as the infection starts. after hitting up a walmart, eric heads for the hills! how long could you survive alone before the loneliness drives you back into the city? on his way back to walmart, eric meets a group of survivors that fill him on what's been happening during the 4 months he was alone. there's a new twist, ghouls. they seem to be able to influence the zombies. who are they? where did they come from? it's a new zombie slant, and a gross one at that.
there are groups of survivors holed up across the area. whose strategy is best? will any of them stand? not only does eric have to fight with zombies, but he has to contend with another human he's made enemies with. lee is a well-drawn out antagonist, and he's more than a bastard, but he's human. he's killing zombies. is that enough to keep eric from killing him?
eric meets and joins up with a good cast of characters. how long is he able to stay with them before his actions cost him?
the book is fast-paced, but you never feel like the author is rushing the story. i really enjoyed this story and hope the author continues the series. the story ended at a good point but cries for a sequel.
i'd rate this book fourth in my favorite zombie/infection books:
patient zero
zombie fallout series
the infection & killing floor
BEYOND THE BARRIERS
day by day armageddon & beyond exile
the junkie quatrains
world war z
morningstar strain series
ex-heroes
as the world dies
YES, IT'S THAT GOOD!

Alright, recommended zombie fix
First the narrator is one of those acting ones. I wish they realized that when they pronounce the first consonant so hard and exaggerate all the words its painful to listen to. Stop acting and just read nicely!
But either he calmed down or I got used to it so it was manageable, unlike Patient Zero which I had to stop listening to.
The hero is an ex-special forces dude whose just trying to survive by himself but gets antsy after a few months and goes out to find out whats going on.
An interesting angle in this story are the ghouls, which are infected but living humans controlling the zombies.
I didn't like how he seemed to go and bungle one thing after the next up, seemingly saved by pure luck and keep managing to find rations also by pure luck. He also keeps letting the evil guy go all the time, despite him (and me) just wanting to kill him at first sight. I may have to re listen the end again because I didn't understand how everyone got away except the dumb zombies.
It does have all the elements I'm looking for though, survival horror, action, lulls, women, raiders and survivalist societies.
Over all I'm glad i found this story, because there aren't a lot of zombie tales out there, but it could have been better.

A fresh twist on an increasingly over-done premise
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The writing is good, the storyline is intense. It managed to creep me out a bit-which is hard to do.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The lead character. He was likable, brave, and didn't make really stupid decisions.
What does Christian Rummel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He conveys the emotions of the characters, and manages to bring them to life.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It was all good!
Any additional comments?
Well written, with a smart, diabolical twist on the Zombie Apocalypse genre. A must-listen for any fan of the genre!

Kept me listening.
What did you love best about Beyond the Barriers?
Most of the content was written in a manner that would allow readers to see themselves as part of the story. I thought Christian Rummel's narration was consistent and very easy listening. It's always hard to have a male reading female parts, but I thought he did very well.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It left me wanting more. Hope a sequel is arriving soon!
What does Christian Rummel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His vocalization was excellent and was easier to listen to it as a journal or diary.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Envy isn't the only green eyed monster.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the book. Zombie books, like all genres, fall into similar storylines. there were enough variations to keep me interested.

Zombie-Human Hybrid? Yes please!
A great zombie book. It reads like a journal by a man who ran to the woods at the start and later makes his way down to reconnect with society. Along the way he has to fight zombies, zombie human hybrids and other humans. The main character is someone who is easy to connect with as he feels bad for killing the zombies and humans alike. The story is action packed and written to make you feel a part of the action. I can't wait for the second book!

A good zombie book with a different twist
What made the experience of listening to Beyond the Barriers the most enjoyable?
I like me a good zombie book and this was exactly that main character is a little whiney but still likeable and gets the job done and the gouls give it a different vibe

Little Thought Invested In Writing This Story
What would have made Beyond the Barriers better?
A few more years of writing experience for the author? And a little research by the author? Maybe?
What was most disappointing about Timothy W. Long’s story?
The main character. Although intro'ed as a ' vet with Special Forces' training, his weapon of choice was tada... a 20 gauge pump shotgun? I gave up when Tragger the main character observed someone as she 'sighted down the automatic barrel.' Later Tragger 'slid back the top of the automatic...' Thank God no one 'checked the magazine on their revolver'. another favorite of mine. Give me a break. Do some research! Would love to have my money back.
Would you be willing to try another one of Christian Rummel’s performances?
No. Too over the top.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Bordom.
Any additional comments?
Don't bother if you are over 15 years of age.

Narrator's voice irritating, Main Char. unlikeable
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This book might appeal to someone--just not sure who. It seems to be written more for the male zombie fan then a general audience.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I am so disappointed with this audio book; I believe it will be a while before I choose a new author. I have over fifty audio books on my computer--this is the first one I will not finish. The combination of lack of apeal in the main character and the fingernails on chalkboard voice of the narrator stopped me in under an hour.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christian Rummel?
Wow, this guy was so irritating to listen to. He draws out his words constently and adds a whine to nearly every sentence. I found myself hoping a zombie would get him after 15 minutes. I am not sure who I would prefer, maybe Scott Brick or Jay Snyder. Both have an understanding that the voice must be flexible to create all of the characters within the story, yet be overall pleasant enough to listen to for the length of the book.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Beyond the Barriers?
I am afraid I would start at the first paragraph and cut to the end. Actually I was able to sort of listen until he reached the "I am cutting in line--cuz I can--cuz we all should" scene. I am basically a very cheap person. The audiobook I get each month is a huge treat for me. For me to not finish this story or actually write a review is a first. Which lets you know how bad I think this story is.
Any additional comments?
Can I get my credit back, Please?
