Publisher's summary

The Crazed are flesh-hungry monsters. Can civilization survive...and escape from the edge of humanity?

Three books of non-stop zombie action that audiences are calling "fresh" with "dollops of violence" to satisfy even the most discriminating post-apocalyptic fan. From an Amazon best-selling author.

Book 1: Turn - A town on the run...The Crazed wants their flesh.

Will they make it out alive?

When a meteorite crashes to earth it catapults a small utopian town into an archaic nightmare. It's up to one man to protect them, not only from the flesh-eating monsters but also from the maniacal colonel who storms in, barking orders for immediate evacuation. Clay Dobbs is the small-town sheriff about to, unknowingly, take on the end of the world.

When the Crazed come for your flesh, how will you survive?

Book 2: Detour - Their escape was certain...or so they thought.

Their survival is, and forever will be, in question.

With the nanite epidemic out of control, Clay leads his skeleton crew head first into the aftermath. The nightmare continues as he battles both the Crazed and the rouge, as well as his own inner demons. The once small town sheriff must find order where there is no law until he encounters his near-equal at the end of the world. But, is she all that she seems? Will Clay unravel all the clues before it's too late?

The road is a dark and chilling place. There is no time to rest if you want to survive.

Book 3: Reversion - At the end of the world...never dismiss the unexpected.

A surprise reunion. A forgotten friend.

Long odds and determination reward Sheriff Clay Dobbs with a bit of what he wants most. But, he won't rest - he can't rest - not until he's dead. And he has no plans for that until he defeats the insane military general that has caused so much hardship. But, it's not as easy as he thinks, not when there's an even more neurotic psychopath standing in his way. Can Clay learn to control himself, and the undead around him?

When the Crazed come for you, where will you hide?

Top class post apoc

Humanity's Edge: The Complete Trilogy ' Great "zombie" entertainment. A real good read.
Lots of blood and gore, corrupt politicians & military.
As a trilogy in one audio book it is long but that also makes it exceedingly good value.

Humanity's Edge

I didn't hate this book series.I also didn't really like it.It is middle of the road sort of zombie apocolypse.The characters never grew on me. Narration by Wayne Mitchell was ok. Ralph and Brandon sounded like stoners. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

If you like end of the world genera, pick this up!

In some ways it's a typical apocalyptic book and then by book 3 the srory takes a different and interesting turn. Not wanting to give anything away, but the author's view on voices in one's head and the narrator's performance was amazing and disturbing at the same time.

Excellent zombie story!

If you like zombie tales, then you'll love this one. It's very well written and the narrator does an awesome job.

humanity's edge

I went back and forth between really enjoying it and being slightly annoyed. The author creates some good characters and some of the lines written really made me think. Then some of them would be way too predictable.
I liked that he broke the stereotypical male hero role but then I felt that he got carried away with the man bashing.

The narrator did a pretty good job with the men's voices but all of the females sound a bit like a Cartman from South Park impersonating a valley girl. He has a good cadence and his pronunciation is clear but his characters weren't as distinct as they could be.

All in all it's a good story. Slightly different approach to the apocalypse than I've heard before. I would listen to more of the author's work but I think it would be better with a different narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

It's ok

The plot comes straight outta a ScyFy channel tv movie: asteroid falls, people get sick, zombies ensue. The military is heavy handed and only the local town sheriff can (or will) do the right thing.

Just as the cheesy B-movie plot demands, there's strange tech that the military seems to take for granted, despite being a huge game changer (yes, I'm talking about the Force fields). Anyways,

I'll be honest, there's not much that sets this one apart from other zombie stories. There are lesbian and bisexual characters, and while it's important to me that there's representation in media, even these folks are pretty badly written.

Narrator: Mitchell isn't bad, but sometimes you just can't do much with the material you're given.

Recommended for: zombie and B-list sci-fi thriller fans.

Humanity's Edge

First, let me say that I didn't hate the books. There were a lot of positive and fun parts and there was good chemistry with some of the characters. The idea of what caused the event and the escalation of the plot was interesting if not completely original. I liked the main protagonists with their flaws and their drive to survive. I even liked the antagonists (the ones behind the curtain) and their vicious manner.
I had a hard time with some of the story where it seemed disjointed and the end which seemed forced. It was a long ride and there were a lot of moving parts, but at times I felt kind of lost. It might have been me, but it didn't gel for me completely. The narration was also something that I didn't really connect with. Some of the characters were done to perfection, but most everyone outside of the main couple of characters didn't work for me. I sped up the narration and that helped a bit.

This story was given to me for free at my request for my voluntary and unbiased review.

End of the world with zombies, sort of

Overall I though the story was pretty good, but there were some holes that left me wondering if I missed something. Too much was left unsaid or answers appear to have been pulled out of a magic hat. There were great elements which should have been fleshed out more but were stitched together leaving it feel like a rushed project. The narrator did a decent job except that almost every female had a bit of a nasally "Oh my God" sound to her voice that was not only irritating but made it had to determine who was speaking at times.
