The Beginning of something Great.

As usual G. Michael Hopf delivers,a new take on the modern world and the many threats faced.
he builds up the story with an Arsenal of characters and a solid plot.the action is well paced and I listened to the book in 24 hours.
looking forward to the story continuing. a very timely read.

great story in the makes

great new story line in the works, cant wait until more books are finished and released.

Sadly it could happen thus way

This book deals primarily with the discord within the U.S. leaving the world vulnerable. it is a bit frustrating as the end of society does not begin until the end of the book (which is sad in itself that it is disappointing to those of us that like a zombie story).

Not bad, not great

Would you try another book from G. Michael Hopf and/or Joseph Morton?

I am a fan of Hopf's work, but i cant say so much for Joseph Morton.

Would you recommend Day of Reckoning to your friends? Why or why not?

Maybe, it wouldnt be the first book recommendation i would give.

What aspect of Joseph Morton’s performance would you have changed?

Joseph Morton is not a horrible narrator, but he also isnt really good. He sort of reminds me of listening to "Grandpa's stories" kind of thing. He has very little voice flexuation, but he is able to make slight little changes from character to character, but he runs out of distinguishable character voices quickly.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Any additional comments?

I generally enjoy Hopf's work, but I think the narrator left me cringing on this one. This PA story twists the modern day terror treat with a unique perspective on a mutant/zombie bio threat. Joseph Morton has a limited scope of voice manipulation and I've listen to many other books he has narrated. There were a number of moments that I got tired of listening to Morton, but the story itself kept me engaged. There are roughly 4 or 5 separate character story lines to follow in this book and for the most part its pretty easy to track. Hopf writes the book as both a solo novel and also leaves plenty of room to write a sequel or start another series. If he changes the narrator, I might stick with it.

exceptional

I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book. it's a ride through the lives it touched to the day of reckoning and I want more!

Great story

Great story and very interesting characters. Can't wait for the next book. kept me listening and wanting more.

Pulled from today's headline news.

Not your usual terrorism apocalyptic fare! There is much background information and conversation before the meat of the story makes an appearance. There is little character development so you don’t get to know, like or dislike them. All is not lost though. The story is interesting and especially significant since it roughly follows today’s headline events. I like the less-than-usual way the story develops, I only wish it had moved along a bit quicker. The narration is very good, which helps enormously in the delivery.

Ride

Damn, this was a Great Ride. Being set in the local area helped push me to Listen more, faster, faster. Thank you Mr. Hopf for a great story.

A reflection of today’s politics and the inevitable outcome

Best book I have read. But may be very close to reality. We must open our eyes. Can’t wait for the next book

Good Story BUT....

I really did enjoy this story, it actually scared me but the narrator was so bad it took all i had to keep listening. I hope there is a second book but PLEASE get a different narrator.
