Q Island

By: Russell James

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Epidemic! An ancient virus has surfaced on Long Island, NY, turning its victims into black-veined, infectious, psychopathic killers. Chaos and madness rule. In desperation, the military quarantines the island, trapping Melanie Bailey and her autistic son Aiden. Somehow Aiden survives infection. He could be the key to a cure...if Melanie can get him to the mainland. She must get him past the growing legions of the infected, through the military quarantine, and out of the hands of Jimmy Wade, a criminal gang leader who has his own plans for what to do with a boy who might be a cure. Escape may be impossible from Q Island.

Loved the story!

Great story... AI wasn't the worst I've heard. People always trying to do too much bringing on the destruction of everything and everyone. Learn contentment and maybe, just maybe we can avoid the zombie apocalypse!

Not a bad story and definitely not your typical zombie apocalypse book because the zombies weren’t zombies at all.

Wonderful Book! Definitely recommend.

**No spoilers ** This was a really good book. It was packed with action and suspense throughout the entire story. I really like the thought out story line. Characters were great and could really root down to them and how they feel. Wish it was about twice as long. I am looking forward to see if Book 2 will have an audio book also. I'm going to look into more of Russell's books and hope to enjoy them just as much!

Wasn't the biggest fan of the AI narration. The lack of emotion at certain points was disappointing. I'm sure actually reading it would have been better, but I listen while working. It was better than some real people I've listened to, so that's a positive. Granted someone like R C Brey or Michael Kramer would have cost an arm and a leg.

Thank you to the author. Was good to meet you in person at megacon orlando 2025. Keep up the good work.

intense from start to finish

Loved this book! kept my interest from the very begining. Very well written and a quite beleivable storyline. Narration was excellent which made the story a hard one to put down. Would love a sequel to follow the continuation of the story. A most excellent read.

Story

Really enjoyed this book. A bit of a different spin to the usual infected story. Pretty good flow overall. Definitely worth a listen
