Publisher's summary

It was just another day in Los Angeles and Blake was trying something new. Unbeknownst to him, a strange disease was slowly spreading throughout the city right around the time he went to get some... physical therapy to help get over getting dumped. But when some of the massage parlor employees attempt to eat him, Blake realizes that this isn’t just influenza, and he has to step it up if he wants to go on existing. Life grinds to a halt around him. The government declares a state of emergency. They want to move healthy people to a central location to protect them from the infected. It seems like things are finally moving in the right direction. But Blake is uneasy, and when his fears become reality, it’s a race for his life as he and his friend struggle to escape from the city and begin a journey to find sanctuary. It’s a big country. There must be somewhere the authorities got it right. A city where there weren’t as many infected? They just have to find it. Just don’t get bitten.

Very mixed opinions....

I'm sorry, the performance was truly missing the human element.
I just don't think we're there yet with computer generated narration.

I tried to make it through the entire book and I came close. A lot of it felt like the author was a teenage robot as well. Maybe my brain had difficulty distinguishing the computer narration from what the author put down on paper. Not sure where I have trouble with all of this.

I can certainly appreciate the amount of work the author put into writing this book. Thank you for sharing

Great

story was very good I hope they'll be a second look because that was not a great way to leave this one

Great!

Great writing and great story. Worth the read. I loved it and couldn't stop listening to it.

Really????

This listen was free and Audible owes me a credit for pain and suffering, and if they do not grant me one, we will meet in the Peoples Court. Better yet, Judge Judy, one listen to this and she will join me and help find others so we can file a class action suit. Are you kidding me, we have an extinction level event that delivers zombies, fake armies, absentee government, decimated cities, and no clue why or how in the most populated state in the nation. Every male character was completely emasculated and useless and did enough crying to end a drought. Every woman character was strong and kick ass which I like but damn....okay, you do not have to emasculate men to have strong female characters. Also, since the story did not start with "once upon a time," I am assuming we wanted to at least border the realm of probability.....you missed, the female lead was driving a GTR 90 plus miles an hour everywhere and dodging zombies and other obstacles and stopped for gas once. The poor male character was driving a mini van and hit everything twice driving the speed limit...really? You introduced elements of aliens or the super natural in the hotel in Vegas with the shadows appearing and talking and attacking.... yes readers of this review I too am waiting for an explanation that's why there is not one here. You had the fake military evacuating people to a school shelter and creeping out in the middle of the night and letting Zombies in for a refugee buffett and well..... inquiry minds would like to know why. I could go on and on but you get the point. And lastly the A.I. reading....let's just say NO and leave it at that. In conclusion I truly admire those who follow their passions and dreams and are brave enough to go to print as it were, I am a fan, just write with an audience in mind next time so you will stop and ask questions about what you just wrote and see if an answer is there, if not....rewrite.
