People are growing ill; eyes changing color, burning up with a fever so fierce that it causes them to go crazy, attacking those around them, spreading the infection like wildfire. People are trying to escape the unknown sickness, but there is nowhere to run...nowhere to hide.... The only chance for the survival of the human race is to stay and fight. However, they're unaware of what they're fighting. What they're up against is much greater than anything they could ever imagine. This is just the beginning....

Story4 out of 5 stars 38
For the first time since his divorce, CJ will be able to take his son on a vacation. Along with his father, they make it a guys’ trip to the west coast. Little do they know their trip that is intended to be a lifetime of memories would include facing insurmountable odds. The lack of warning leaves everyone in the dark about what has occurred and vulnerable to all that unfolds. It doesn’t stop with the meteors. The disastrous events come one after another, a domino effect of annihilation.

It spread fast - no time to understand it - let alone learn how to fight it. Once it reached you, it was too late. All you could do is run. Rumored safe zones and potential for a cure drifted across the populace, forcing tough decisions to be made. They say only the strong survive. Well, they forgot about the smart, the inventive, and the lucky.

The Marinski Affair began as a dull, mundane case involving a missing husband. Okay, so he was a rich missing husband, but he was nonetheless, still only a missing husband. The case soon developed into one involving robbery, kidnapping, blackmail, and murder. But was there really a kidnapping? All is not as it seems. Tom Kendall, private detective, had the task of solving the mystery. He was usually pretty good at solving puzzles, but this one was different, somehow. It wasn’t that he didn’t have any of the pieces. It was just that none of the pieces seemed to fit together.

A seven percent grasp of the infinite. The universe may be limitless, but our senses are not. Just as the human eye sees but a small percentage of the cosmic wave spectrum, in the same way, most of us are only able to perceive a similar sliver of what we brazenly term “reality”, even with the use of all five of our scientifically acknowledged senses. This month-by-month account of people-supernatural relations spans its own sci-fi/fantasy/horror/comedy spectrum, touring the weird side of the cosmos while leaving the passengers comfy and unscathed in their listening chairs.

‘To make a killing in the City’ is a phrase often used within the financial world, to indicate making a large profit on investments, or through dealings on the stock market--the bigger the profit, the bigger the killing. However, Tom Kendall, a private detective, on vacation in London, has a different kind of killing in mind when he hears about the death of one of his fellow passengers who traveled with him on the plane from Miami. It was suicide apparently, a simple overdose of prescribed tablets. Kendall immediately offers his help to Scotland Yard. He is shocked when he is told his services will not be required. They can manage perfectly well without him, thank you.

“Mr. Kendall, in the past few months there have been a number of doctors who have mysteriously disappeared, or whose deaths were either alleged to be accidents, or were suicides, or they were actually murdered.” Kendall made a mental note to find out about these "other doctors". “A number of doctors you said. How many are we talking about?” Mrs. Eaton thought for a few moments. “To my knowledge there have been at least eight cases in the past six months. There may be a whole lot more that I know nothing about.”

Great Read
Fatal Reaction, Survival was another great read by M.A. Hollstein. The survivors are now dealing with ships that appear in the sky. There are alien spaceships that are placed in different locations across the globe. The survivors have been battling the virus that has killed most of humanity and now they are facing the extra terrestrial ships. I enjoyed reading this post-apacolyptic book.

Fatal Reaction, Survival
Another great story from MA Hollstein matched by an equally great narration by Tim Jackson.
The main characters from book one were joined by others. These people also survived the infection and were all scared of the looming danger above. As they try to live day to day, they were forced to face scarier circumstances and individuals.
The suspense was definitely rising as the surviving humans realized that the threat they face was way beyond what they imagined.
The big twist in the first book was accounted for and then another twist was introduced. Brilliant! Making me eager to start listening to the third book.

A Virus, Alien Invasion & Human Survival!!
This installment to the Fatal Reaction series is very well done. The author gives us a decimated Earth, developed characters and scary situations! I enjoyed this book despite Ellie driving me crazy. This story continues to take us on a crazy, suspenseful and amazing adventure. I listened to this in one setting and look forward to the next installment. If you don't like cliffhangers then you'll want to get the third book before listening to this one. The narration really brought the story to life and the voices are nicely distinct. Can't wait to listen to the next one!

Zombies and Aliens
I enjoyed listening to the book as it has good characters action and alien components not just zombies. Amanda is the main character from 1st book, Bill and his son Benjamin, and then there is Liam and Susan who are aliens trying to help save Ben, crusaders who are trying to take over everything and then comes scourges. Only complaint was the ending was abrupt and cliffhanger requiring the next book Recommend if you want a different zombie/alien book.

Fatal Reaction :Survival
Book 2 in a series but actually a stand alone audiobook. I enjoyed the listen and hopefully will have the chance to listen to more of the authors work.
There are several groups of people (and non-people) but the characters are so well defined that you never lose your place (and that is a mark of quality writing!).
The author was kind enough to gift me with my copy in exchange for a honest review. I honestly enjoyed every minute of this audiobook and I think you will too.
Enjoyable weekend listen AA++

Remarkably original zombie story
I love zombie stories and I'm always thrilled to find a new angle on it. This had the usual thrills you could expect, but the story behind the plague was completely different and just the tip of the iceberg. Very original, very intriguing. Great character development as well and lots of action. One of my new favorites.

"It's not my people I'm afraid of - it's what's coming."
Three weeks have passed since the virus wiped out most of humanity. The scattered survivors mostly stay alone, doors closed to anyone in case they are sick. Only one person was known to have survived after catching the infection, Bill's little son, Benjamin, but not before he had murdered his mother. Now he, his dad and another woman, Amanda are just trying to survive. Sheriff Mike Wilson and Ellie are hopeful of finding others like themselves - there's safety in numbers - and are looking after an elderly neighbour. Ellie has also seen video footage of a teenage, red headed youth who seems to be on his own. But there are also small gangs beginning to form that look dangerous. The phone lines went down, electricity, too. But that latter was restored when the spaceships arrived. And the big silver ship sat above them in the sky, silent, not moving, doing nothing, just being. Until a white light started to flash in the centre...
The book is nicely written, building tension, the oppression of the ship's presence constantly there. The story line moves between different people, their fears and their hopes expressed, their actions followed. It is not dependent on major confrontations, though they do occure, but on the internal observations of each separate character. The people become very real, their reactions what might be in such a situation. It is cleverly presented to give the reader the feeling of actually being there, with the terrors and uncertainties of life threatening unknowns.
Narrator, Tim Jackson, has a pleasing mellow voice with just a tiny undertone of the sinister just below the surface, perfect for this book. His pace is not fast, no histrionics, but steady, which curiously increases the tension. It feels like breaking point is not far away. His voicing of each protagonist is individual and appropriate. A fine performance.
My thanks to the rights holder of Fatal Reaction: Survival, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. This is an unusual apocalyptic story, not just the average survival after the disaster book. And with more still to come, I am very much looking forward to the continuation in book three.
