The Fifth Survivor: Episode 1

The Fifth Survivor Series, Book 1

De: Angel Ramon

Narrado por: M.P. Marchinuke

Zombies and bacon rule!

Who says old men can't be badass vigilantes? A middle-aged journalist-turned-vigilante will show he can kick some serious zombie butt and save the friggin' world while maintaining his unhealthy bacon obsession. Step in and see if you survive the nightmare.

On July 7, 2007, the first-ever zombie outbreak took place in Brooklyn, NY. Four survivors were able to escape and live through the horrors. These survivors included Angel, Maria, Luis, and Joe. While most literature will say there were four survivors who survived that fateful day, there was one survivor who was never spotted or even mentioned. He will always be known as the unknown survivor of the first outbreak. This survivor is known as George Fisher, and he knows the ins and outs of Hybrid.

Behind the secret cloak of his job as a janitor, he intends to expose Hybrid for their misdeeds from the inside out. This secret survivor would rather be referenced as the “fifth survivor”.

Join George in his survival horror adventure. George learns more about the giant pharmaceutical company, The Hybrid Corporation. With its checkered past, he becomes suspicious about their real intentions when they decide they want to build a substation in his hometown of Cypress Hills.

Deciding to make the dangerous decision to probe Hybrid without permission, George will enter a construction site, the Hybrid headquarters, and sneak into a meeting in the hospital. What he doesn't know is that when he decides to sneak into the hospital meeting, the Raven Hawk virus has already been released. With the hospital infected with zombies and other biohazard creatures, will he escape to continue his probe? Or has he gotten his foot in too deep into a rat trap that threatens mankind?

See the new world order plot through the eyes of the journalist known as the "fish master".

This is a game-lit set in the real world, so it's all real, even the zombies! The series where the worlds of Charles Bronson and Resident Evil combine into an episodic book series!

Great story

Honestly, this was my first LitRPG book, so I didn't know what to expect. I was not ready for this. The story moves along at a good pace. George, the protagonist, I really liked. He's not your typical 20 something ultra-soldier, he's an every day guy, a janitor.
I'm looking forward to episode 2!

I wanted to like it but...

First I will say I misunderstood the beginning of the book that explained things a bit. I got confused on the writing until I figured out that this was reading as a video game. When I did I caught on. once you picture yourself playing zombie video game it all makes sense.

I am sorry that I did not like the writing itself. It used redundant wording a lot in the descriptions. I think this author has potential though.

Love the story

Love the story it’s new it’s interesting love the writing style. The narrators voice is nice too

A wonderful gameLit story

It was a wonderful read and I'm a sucker for horror, zombies and video games which meshes nicely in this story. You follow along with George, a school janitor by day and an investigative reporter looking to uncover the mystery as to why the shady mega pharmaceutical company Hybrid doing in a small area just on the outskirts of New York city.
After a lot of sneaking and snooping, he uncovers that Hybrid is partnering with a local hospital to test its cure for cancer drug in the patients. George discovers and tries to collect evidence that Hybrid is up to no good and runs into zombies, freaky creatures like man eating frogs, lizard creatures, and worst of them all: Mr Z, a superhuman monster that won't stay dead.it's a wonderful story that you can actually feel like you're playing a game like Resident Evil. One thing that caught my attention was the author put in choices that George should make, either conversation or what to do, like in games such as Mass Effect. Part of me wishes that I could make the different choices and see where the story goes, like I did with old find your own fate novels. That would make this wonderful story interactive and unique, but might be a pain in the zombie bite to do. Yes, I just geeked out and with that, I highly recommend this one!I

ZombieLitRPG? Is that a thing? No, well it is now.

This is going to take some getting used to. I love Zombie books, I just started to dip my toes into GameLit/LitRPG, but both in one, WOW! The story starts off interesting enough to keep me flipping pages. There isn't ton of game-stats, and I like that, just enough so you know the genre and how it impacts good ol' Georgie boy. I look forward to continuing the story and seeing if our bad ass gets the bad dudes!

review

this book wasn't what I thought it would be.. it has a game style mixed in with zombie story, now if you're gamer great book..

Fascinating Can't wait for the next episode

The story was interesting, a little out there, but I like that. The narrator was a good fit.

It could be better

Story-wise it could be better. It certainly is interesting, but sounds like a bad knockoff of the Resident Evil games. I say this because the dialogue could be better and the author could have used this as an opportunity to use POV instead of a third person accounting. Even if it is a GameLit, there were other was to have written the story to give it more descriptive depth.

Narrator could also have done better. There was a lot of additional noise mostly. However, the main issue I had with the style had been it did not fit with the story.

The Fifth Survivor: Episode 1

The one thing I liked about this book was the zombies and other mutant creatures. Otherwise this was not my kind of book. To me it sounded like someone was reading a play by play of a resident evil game...down to picking up ammo how much ammo is left and red, blue and green herbs and mixing them. Marchinuke did a great job reading it though his voice was smooth and clear.

concept is good deliverance bad

I like the concept of the book the way it's written but the narration and how was read is absolutely horrible. I mainly listen to audiobooks due to not enough time to read them myself so alot of drive time....I'm going to make time to read these myself because I really like the concept but the narrator almost drones.
