Volume 1, First Wave
Special Forces veteran Travis Combs just wanted to forget his weary years of leading combat missions while taking an extended rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. As he and his group complete a 22-day trip on the Colorado River, they find the world has unraveled from a deadly pandemic. Now, he has to show his small band how to live off the land and cross the rugged Arizona desert, while evading blood-drinking zombies, gangs of cartel bikers, and a rogue government agency.

Volume 2, The Longest Day
After training and leading his small band of survivors through the desert, Travis Combs just wants to get back home to his son in Denver. However, an emerging force in the mountains of Flagstaff poses a threat to his plans, and they will stop at nothing to obtain what he has.

Volume 3, No Place To Hide
As Travis and his band of fighters head for the secret lab in Durango, they face the convergence of powerful forces bent on securing the vaccine. With a traitor in their midst, and with the emerging threat of faster moving zombies, he must lead his weary group through the mountains and take the battle to his enemy.

Needed a good editor

Good story and characters. I'm having vision problems, and welcomed the chance to try an AI narrator. I was surprised at how listenable this was. But a sharper editor could have caught the mispronunciations in the first book so they wouldn't have been repeated throughout. (mostly in gun descriptions such as 30 dash zero 6 instead of 30 aught six, and cal read as calories instead of cartridge). Also "Hell of a .. " was pronounced hell- loffa. Minor error, but repeated inn all volumes.

The AI voice is just gawd awful for audiobooks

the voice is cool because we can get more audiobooks, but the big issue is there is no emotion, no annunciation, no personal connections from reader to listener. everything is so one tone. you wouldn't listen to an ad that has ai, why would you pay for a book to do so.

Seems like a great story, AI narration is horrible!

JT has written these books very well, the story is great. I decided to try the audiobook and was extremely let down. The story is still great but the AI narration is so dry and flat it’s unbearable and cant finish it! Hopefully one day these books will get a proper narrator and AI can stay out of doing things best left to real people.

AI STINKS

This was read by an AI and it shows… I guess they couldn’t afford to hire a voice actor?

AI narrative

Story was good but AI narration is awful. No inflections whatsoever. Flat and hard to listen to.
