Darwin Contagion

The Chimera Series, Book 1

By: Walt Browning

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

Mankind’s dominance has come to an end …

When a terrorist group detonates a small nuclear device at a level four biohazard facility, it releases the infection vectors stored within and creates a contagion that devastates the planet.

Entire species are wiped out, while those that survive are genetically transformed into prehistoric mutations of their former self.

Secret Service agent Alex Durham is assigned to protect the president. As the dangers of the expanding nuclear fallout become apparent, he accompanies the country’s leadership as they seek shelter from the impending contagion.

When they emerge weeks later, the global aftermath of the terrorist attack leaves the survivors struggling to find safety in a world that has regressed millions of years. Creatures from the past and those newly created rise to challenge mankind’s dominance.

All that matters now is survival …

Walt Browning, the bestselling author of Extinction Survival, returns with this harrowing post-apocalyptic survival series. Don’t miss this tale about people trying to survive the consequences of man’s arrogance, all while somehow maintaining their humanity.

Story was good

Story was good seems if happened in the not so distant future but with man who want power as well nations hate will drive human race to extinction. Cannot wait for book 2.

Right up my alley, with a shiny new twist in a well trod trope.

I love the high testosterone end of the world genre. This is great, Browning’s extinction series was entertaining. I was looking forward to this!

Wonderfully written and cannot wait for more!

The characters are a masterpiece of love and hate! The support and realism of MC and teammates lifts the heart and keep you invested throughout the book. On the other hand, some characters, are almost too well written, giving the listeners a very clear desire for "Mercy" (as shown to the Majority Leader 👍😁) Walt please keep writing! There's so much more to tell, please keep it coming as soon as possible!
