It started with bright lights; a new medical technology, promising to eradicate all human ills. History of blood clots? Cholesterol clogging up the old ticker? There was a nanobot for that. It wasn’t cheap of course, and everyone knew that new technology had bugs in it. But hey, why not let the rich be the guinea pigs for once? Fast-forward a year, and the one percent began dying en masse. The nanobots had evolved to view aging as a virus and were reacting by shutting down the host.

"I didn't realize how much I would miss grocery shopping until it was gone." Life was pretty good. The love of Alice's life had proposed, they were proud new homeowners, and she'd just landed a great promotion at work. Things were going to plan. Well, they were, until the Red Death struck. Billions dead in a matter of weeks. The survivors are few and far between. No one is safe. Life will never be the same again.

In the dawn of a new Ice Age, families everywhere are taking to the road to escape the frigid landscape-but you can’t outrun the cold. No one could have predicted the terrifying impact of human interference in the Arctic. Shifts in the Earth's crust have led to catastrophe and now the North Pole is located in the mid-Atlantic, making much of the eastern United States an unlivable polar hellscape.

There will be no peace or tranquility on Ted and TJ's transatlantic cruise as something is very wrong: animals have started to attack for no apparent reason.

Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive. This was no ordinary terror attack. The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland.

Publisher's Summary
Don't get sick. Don't get caught.
Judy-Anne Gratz and her family watched in horror as their longtime neighbors were "contained" by the CDC. Still reeling from the trauma of seeing her closest friend and his parents disappear into the back of the agency's van, Judy-Anne finds that she, too, now shows the telltale marks of the virus.
After decades of unsuccessfully trying to combat the deadly virus known commonly as "The Spot", the government agency has resorted to the only tactic they know will work: Those infected and the ones they are in the closest contact with are arrested, removed from the public, and never seen from or heard again. When a disease cannot be overcome, it must be contained.
Now, the Gratz family must decide whether they can keep their daughter's infection hidden from the watchful eyes of the CDC and a vigilant population or if they can take their chances and run.
Containment is the first volume of the three-part series following the exciting story of a family fighting to survive.

Extremely poor quality
I am amazed that this book was released to audio in it's current form. The narration is horrible. In the beginning of the book the narration sounds like it's a speed reading contest where punctuation is non-existent. The problem gets better as the book progresses but never goes away entirely. The narrator is also very flat and struggles with inflections.
On at least 5 occasions the audio repeated itself, how this was not caught in testing is beyond me.
The story itself is strictly average.
Skip this one and save yourself a credit.
