Caldera Book 1

By: Heath Stallcup

Narrated by: Johnny Mack

For years, the biggest threat that Yellowstone was thought to offer was in the form of its semi-dormant super volcano. Little did anyone realize the threat was real and slowly working its way to the surface, but not in the form of magma. Lying deep within the bowels of the Earth itself, an ancient virus waited. Recently credited with the extinction of Neanderthal man, the virus erupts into a crowded Yellowstone. The park is packed with sight seers and party goers during a benefit concert who are all now fodder for the ancient rage virus.

Follow along as park rangers and local sheriffs find themselves overwhelmed with a park full of infected human cannibals.

Caldera

Good beginning to the series. I'm curious about the differences between the people who are scratched and the ones who are bitten. I hope the author will explain it in future books. I've listened to this narrator before and his female voice work has improved. I received this audio book for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Not bad

A fairly fresh perspective on living zombies. Running around the Yellowstone Caldera will be a bit spoiler now.

A bit short but entertaining

This is a 28 Days Later style of zombie apocalypse story. Fast, visceral, and entertaining. The narration was great by Johnny Mack and helped the story come alive. The story itself, was a bit short and kind of felt unfinished, but kept me wanting more.

Great twist on the zombie apocalypse genre.

Caldera turns out to be quite an interesting twist on the zombie apocalypse genre. The infected aren’t your run-of-the-mill zombies, but they are infected with a virus that turns them into raving killers; ripping apart their victims in a murderous rage. Yellowstone Park is the location for this massacre where the virus came up from the depths in the sulfurous water. The virus spreads quickly and soon there are tens if not hundreds of crazed campers running amuck. Our heroic park rangers are saddled with the task of putting a lid on this nightmare. Unfortunately for the attendees there was also a benefit rock concert going on in the park at this time, which added hundreds more people to the disaster. The story continues with survivors running for their lives. The park rangers were also busy looking for survivors, both campers and their own friends. I really enjoyed this story, but the ending came much too soon. Now I’ll have to wait for book two, which isn’t available yet.

This was a pretty interesting listen. The storyline is original while still playing on your fears. Definitely not your basic post apocalyptic book.
