Origins of the Outbreak

By: Brian Parker

Narrated by: Veronica Fox

Every epidemic begins with a relatively small group of people who've been exposed to an illness. The Centers for Disease Control believes that it is imperative to reach the site of an initial outbreak as quickly as possible in order to prevent further spread of the disease. Sometimes that isn't always possible, and events reach a catastrophic tipping point before the government can organize a response.

Origins of the Outbreak follows the chain of infection from one person to another after a university researcher in a small Texas town unwittingly develops a disease that turns its victims into zombies and threatens to destroy the world as we know it.

Told as a series of short stories from the perspective of each victim as they experience their own version of hell while struggling to survive, Origins will leave you gasping in fear.

An Early Zombie Book

You must like zombies to enjoy the book which I found interesting as it was stories in stories of each character’s exposure to the virus as it starts in Texas. It is very descripted and gory but fun listen. It is an early book from author and highly recommend his Five Roads to Texas series and Washington Dead City series.

Origins of the outbreak

This was a really good virus to zombies to containment book.I liked the way the chapters were laid out and the ending was great! Veronica Fox was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Not my cup of undead!

Numerous vignettes examining classes and professions of people on how the apocalypse affected individual lives while describing the ultimate spread of the infection. Not one of my favorites from Brian Parker. I prefer more substance in my novels; something I can get into rather than a bunch of short stories. Three.point.five.

Great look into how a zombie outbreak would spread

Excellent look into the various perspectives of different people at the beginning of an outbreak.

The multiple short stories were great, and seeing characters return as zombies for future stories was hilarious.

Narration was excellent.

You cant hate this....

This book was given to me at my request and I am providing a voluntary review:

It is impossible to hate this book. There are so many different characters and they are all so different. If you dislike one guy, two pages later, its something else completely. I know that it sounds like it would get confusing, but it doesn't. It all works. I'm a big fan. I am like 80% done with the book so I cant speak to its ending yet, but since I was here, I figured I'd write something. Awesome Book and Amazing narration. I hope to read more from this author.
