Story
In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and rode off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying "I do" doesn't guarantee a happily ever after. Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we've built. It's time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work. I'm not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.

Story
It's been twelve years since the undead hordes swept over the earth forcing mankind to the brink of extinction. We now live like rats, scavenging in the ruins of our fallen civilization as the dead hunt us night and day. There is little left to scavenge, however. Grocery stores were emptied ages ago, gas tanks have long been dry and bullets are so precious that a man is lucky to have two to his name. Still, we survive. But for how much longer? Instinct and love have combined to turn Darwin's theory on its head. The strongest didn't survive in this world. They were the first to die, leaving behind a generation of orphans. It's a generation that's never had a full belly. It's a generation that has no idea what an Xbox did, or what algebra is for. It's a generation of children who never laugh out loud, and who have learned to cry softly because the dead are always near and the dead are always so very, very hungry.

Publisher's Summary
Paradise Lost... (Kate Jones, Book 5)
Kate Jones and her lover, Cole are on a luxury cruise in the Caribbean when a passenger dies of an apparent heart attack and the ship is boarded by modern-day pirates. Along with two other passengers, Kate is kidnapped by a long-lost enemy who wants to settle an old score.
Kate's vacation turns into non-stop action when Anaya's gunmen board the cruise ship and she finds herself on a jet ski surrounded by sharks, kidnapped, held captive, staked down over patch of fast growing bamboo, and drugged in a Voodoo ceremony. Add a 16th century Spanish shipwreck, hidden treasure, and an Obeah priestess and you've got trouble in paradise.
Will Kate escape certain death or end up as shark bait in the middle of the Caribbean?
It's adventure in paradise and promises all the fast-paced action listeners have come to expect from the Kate Jones Thriller Series.

Another Great Thriller with Kate Jones
What made the experience of listening to Cruising for Death the most enjoyable?
I really liked the reader, she captured the wry humor and down to earth nature of Kate, the heroine. I enjoyed the setting, on a cruise ship and Caribbean island. The synergy between Kate and Cole moved things along.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kate, of course. She is bold, courageous, resourceful, but also human.
What about Melissa Moran’s performance did you like?
She is a very lively reader who really gets her characters right. She obviously appreciates the humor in the book. She does a good job with male and female characters alike.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A pleasure cruise turns into a nightmare.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to the other Kate Jones audio books.

Fun book. Kind of like Clive Cusler's stuff with a little Indiana Jones thrown in. I liked Kate. She's tough and has a good sense of humor. I will look for more in this series.

Very Highly Recommended!!!!
I have read several other books in this series and loved each and every one of them. This book did not fail to impress me, I enjoyed it very much. The writing was excellent as allways and I am definitely a fan of the narration...""This story is so fast paced that I was afraid to put it down for fear it would rush on without me!" —Melissa Moran does a great job of narration on the audiobook, giving each of the individuals a unique voice. Her voice is easy to listen to and makes the listening experience a pleasant one.

Finally a longer book!!!
Wow, what a great read!! This book gives you so much more than the others in the series. A simple cruise takes a serious turn for the worse. Boy does that girl find trouble.
Kate and Cole are still together, and seem to be solid. I was really happy with that part of the story. It is about time she found a good man to stay by her side. It isn't about the romance, but it is a nice smidgen of the story.
This book is filled with action and not everyone ends up alive at the end of the tale. Every time you think things are working out, bang something else goes awry. Typical for unlucky Kate.
The whole book is from her POV, it would have been nice to have another perspective. You never know what others are thinking until they tell her. It adds to the suspense, but things are very narrow without knowing what is going on.
We get more of the Anaya story-line, finally getting to what is going on with the Mexico fiasco. There were some unexpected twists there too.
There are times when the story gets jumpy and I had to figure out what was happening. The being knocked out or drugged incidents took a toll at times.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Melissa Moran, who does a great job. She has great energy that moves the story along snagging you up in the action! The accents are great and stay consistent. You never wonder who is speaking. I really enjoy her in the series and hope she stays with the series. I would love to find more of her reads.
Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts, opinions and ratings are my own.

Cruising for a good book
This book is action packed, if you like action, pirate's, lost treasure ,deserted island, dangerous jungles , shark infested water then this is the book for you.
Kate is on holiday, enjoying a nice relaxing cruise with her boyfriend where the biggest problem she faces is trying not to get sunburn. To bad it couldn't stay that way (well to bad for Kate great for the listener) and she soon finds herself wishing for a gun, when she and two other passengers are taken hostage by an old friend she wishes she could leave behind. I think in this story Kate has grown and is a lot more capable of looking after herself and escaping from the dangerous situations she keeps finding herself in, which makes it a very book.
The narrator was very good has a nice voice that is easy to listen too.
