The Bane

The Eden Trilogy, Book 1

By: Keary Taylor

Narrated by: Cheryl B. Engelhardt

Before the Evolution there was TorBane: technology that infused human DNA with cybernetic matter. It had the ability to grow new organs and limbs, to heal the world. Until it evolved out of control and spread like the common cold. The machine took over, the soul vanished, and the Bane were born. The Bane won't stop until every last person has been infected. With less than two percent of the human population left, mankind is on the brink of extinction.

Eve knows the stories of the Evolution, the time before she wandered into the colony of Eden, unable to recall anything but her name. But she doesn't need memories to know this world is her reality. This is a world that is quickly losing its humanity, one Bane at a time. Fighting to keep one of the last remaining human colonies alive, Eve finds herself torn between her dedication to the colony, and the discovery of love. There is Avian and West - one a soldier, one a keeper of secrets. And in the end, Eve will make a choice that will change the future of mankind.

The Bane is The Terminator meets The Walking Dead with a heart-twisting romance. Previously published as Eden, due to reader demand it has been revamped and rereleased as The Bane: book one in The Eden Trilogy.

Very Good, narrator not so much

This is a good start to a good trilogy. The narrator read to fast and choppy. I hope some one else narrates the next one. It's amazing how a narrator can influence how much or how little you enjoy a book. I have it on my kindle so may read it myself.

Good scifi story

The world has been destroyed by the Bane, who were created by a scientific experiment gone wrong. They infect and kill anyone they touch. A few survive and this is the story of Eve who was changed but not destroyed. She meets a new person, a young man, who awakens in her feelings she had not felt before. She also cares for her old friend.
Well written and well built world. Also well narrated.

Loved it

I loved it. I really liked the characters and story premise. my I would recommend it.

loved this book

written really well. I was captivated to the very end of each chapter. loved the narrator.

Good thing the writing is top notch!

narrator needs some personality! She was reading ( in a monotone ) as fast as she could like she had something better to do. Luckily for her, the author wrote an excellent story.
