After a long day of prepping a house for painting, all Gus Berry wanted was the night off to spend some time with his girlfriend and relax before having to return to work the next morning. But that isn’t going to happen. Because Gus’s co-worker Benny has found a one-night job at the local Mollymart East, a job that has to be done by morning. If Gus and his paint crew can complete the work by then, it could mean huge business with a respected, established grocery store chain.

On the island of Big Tancook, Collie Jones is making plans. She informs the islanders that it’s time to resume her original mission - to find other survivors, screen them, and return them to the island. Every survivor she brings back is one more valuable addition to the skill and gene pool. But first, she must return to the place whence she came. She must secure the elaborate government bunker called Whitecap and its vast stores of munitions within.

Less than 250,000 people live in the Northern Territory, an area more than twice the size of Texas. If you want to escape from civilisation, you don’t have to go far. But you can’t outrun the heat. Every year during October and November the sweltering climate can drive people wild; they call it ‘Suicide Season’, ‘Mango Madness’ or, more plainly, ‘The Build-up’. It’s during this blistering heat that Jim O’Connell’s body is found in a creek bed, mummified and with his genitals removed.

Science fiction allows us to go places we can only dream of seeing - other worlds, distant stars, entirely different galaxies. While not every story is concerned with the hard science behind space travel and other futuristic ventures, fiction can give us amazing insight into what we could be capable of and what we dream of doing. In these 10 lectures, Professor Erin Macdonald interweaves real science and the achievements of the imagination to reveal the truth that underlies our favorite stories and sheds light on what the future may hold.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

Meh
I do agree with a previous reviewer that this story seems to be geared toward men, which is fine. More importantly, the writing is mediocre. I get bored with statements like, "he scratched his balls, then turned to the right" as if scratching balls has anything to do with his decision to turn a corner (maybe this is female ignorance -- perhaps balls help a great deal with directions, who knows?!) OR "he used his ass to open the door, then scratched his balls one last time before raising his gun." ... Ok...?? Story itself is ok, I think the situation w/ Alice was fun/entertaining but overall just meh with the whole thing.

40 ROLLS OF ASS CLEANING GOODNESS
If my headline bothers you, stop now, you will hate this book. Augustus Berry is not the most cultured of men. He is fat, balding and loves to drink himself to a stupor. He has no military experience (how unique is that for a Zombie book.), he survives, because he has watched enough horror movies to know the correct way to behave in an apocalypse.
This is gory, scary and smelly. Yea, you will smell things you don't want to smell. It is not just bloody and gory, it is very scary. Watch out for the Stephen King's "Misery" scene, but mostly watch out for the babies!!
At the time I am writing, this is free. Get this in your library before someone changes their mind. This is the best short story I have listened to, Paid for, or otherwise in a long time.
R.C. Bray is one of those narrators that is the tipping point for a book, when you are trying to decide if you should purchase.

Not for me
I just couldn't like this one. While the narrator does a good job with the story, the story itself just didn't suit my tastes. It is well thought out, and very unlike most of the zombie drivel that is put out anymore. However, the parts that try to frighten merely end up being a squishy mess. The more suspenseful parts work well, but the horror turns out to be just the opposite.

The Hospital- What a Fun Short Story!
Thanks for my first taste of the Mountain Man and Gus's fight against “Gimps” and psycho humans alike! This story was crazy scary, funny, and a great new spin on fighting Zombies!
Also, enjoyed the preview of the Mountain Man Series! I’ll be back for more!

Hilarious. The Audiobook equivalent of "The Room"
Had Tommy Wiseu been born in Alabama, and decided to write short horror stories instead of making films, then something like this is what he would write. Its endearingly bad in that special way where a work accidentally reveals info about its creator. Its a mary sue novel, but instead of being written by some angsty tween ,its written by someone who day drinks during work and I love it

Your worse fears about hospitals and then some!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, because it is a nice short and sharp story. With excellent narration and it will leave the listener wanting more!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain Man Story?
I like how the main character does a roving commentary of his plans and habits
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Another one of Bray's excellent works. I buy books now sorely because of his narration
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Attack of the blood sucking babies
Any additional comments?
Just download it! And you may as well download the followup book. I just wish the author would write the next one!

Not Sure About This Series?
I got this after listening to the Mountain Man and I get why the reviews for The Hospital are on the average side. In the Hospital you get a taste of who Gus is but just a taste. Do yourself a favor and get The Mountain Man. You'll get to know Gus better and enjoy Mr. Blackmore's fine story telling skills. I really liked that story and I am looking forward to more of the Mountain Man.

This is a great freebie, with also a free chapter to his book topped on the end... a little gory, but a very gripping short story. Hoped to see more from this chappie, but only 1 other listed :( I shall; be getting that next book shortly!

Gruesome.....but enjoyable..
I wasn't sure whether I was going to enjoy this particular genre, however I was pleasantly surprised at this one. The story is rather gruesome, though one wonders whether the narrative would have quite the same effect without being so graphic. On the whole I enjoyed this. The general premise is that Gus Berry is in need of supplies, and the hospital has what he wants. In his way, however, are various zombie creatures within the hospital and around, intent on feeding on his flesh.
I've put more of the 'Mountain Man' on my wish list. Recommended.

Dark zombie short story
This is quite a dark, gory zombie tale.
Darker than the Walking Dead, In my opinion. Some of the aspects of the story seem to be in there just for shock value. Not really my taste, I won't bother with any more in the series.

Very discriptive
What made the experience of listening to The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story the most enjoyable?
I thought it was very descriptive, and held my interest even though I wasn't sure what to expect next. It is not a book I should have listened to driving home on my own on a dark wet night. But saying that I then sat up in bed listening to the end because I needed to know what happened.
What other book might you compare The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to, and why?
Can honestly say it was as scarey as Dean Coombes Watchers. They are not my normal read.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
Excellent performance
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me hold my breathe in suspense. Makes your heart beat fast. Not good when driving
Any additional comments?
I needed to Finnish the book but won't be listening to it again, that is just me just not in my comfort zone.

Easy reading
If you just want something to while the hours away then this will do you fine.... It lacks the elegance of others in its genre but the basics are there and it's very easy to get into the main character..

Any additional comments?
A very gripping intro to the series introducing the main character and environment. I have already bought Mountain Man before my credits rolled over as I couldn't wait to get stuck in.

Brilliant Marketing Strategy
If you could sum up The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story in three words, what would they be?
It made buying the Mountain Man Saga "a must".
What other book might you compare The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to, and why?
This was my first book in this genre (even though I love The Walking Dead TV series). This book is superbly written and narrated and is very similar to the Mountain Man series.
Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favourite?
Crazy Alice. R.C. Bray is by far my favourite audio book "narrator" - when he performs a character I actually forget it's the same guy narrating and start to "buy into" the character as a real person. Bray's portrayal of crazy Alice was amazing. I really believed it was a woman and a crazy one at that. Just brilliant.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Definitely.
Any additional comments?
I don't know who's idea it was to give away for free this chapter/scene from the Mountain Man saga but it is a piece of marketing genius. This is not the type of book I would read or listen to but I thought I'd give it a try as it was free and R.C.Bray was narrating it (a brilliant narrator). Not only did this free sample force me into getting the first 3 books but it actually introduced me to this genre.

babies... BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was so f****** scary. It gave me the extended TWD episodes (you remember that one of the special short's with the nurse, right?), kinda vibe, but it was original in a completely different way. The sense of urgency and terror was very well written and enjoyable to read, it was both relatable and terrifying, and the characters were well fleshed out too. I was very lucky that this story was a free one, because I immediately bought the whole series, it looks like it will be quite a read, so will keep you posted!
If you want to try and see if this style of writing and exposition is your cup of tea, give it a go! You will not regret it.

A dark and gory zombie survivor tale
What did you like best about The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story? What did you like least?
I love zombie apocalypse/outbreak films so this was pretty much like every one of those types of films. It was dark, atmospheric and I felt on edge listening to the description of the hospital. The bit I liked the least was some of the gore; at least on film this is over and done fairly quickly and you can look away but some of the detailed descriptions were a bit overwhelming for me.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I liked that for ONCE, the central character actually has some brains and has made themselves a bite-proof outfit that particularly guards the neck and limbs. My god, after all the zombie films I've seen over the years, mountain man gets it right. It gets taken off him at one point but the fact is, he had it. I also liked that he's built his house in the tree tops in a totally remote area far away from the zombie infected city. This guy is serious about survival.
Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favourite?
I liked the narration, I thought it was well-suited to this type of novella.
Did The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to think about my zombie apocalypse survival plan.
Any additional comments?
This was a decent offering for free. It's just over an hour long and it gives you a very very generous look in to the next book in the series. It's very different to my normal reading fare but I enjoyed it.

the hospital by kieth c. Blackmore. narrated by R.C. Bray
Its a story that takes you into a nowhere land of a post apocalyptic knightmare of one mans struggle against insurmountable odds. Maniac nurses, zombie babies and zombie's . I enjoyed evey minute of the journey in this mans company. I felt his fear and frustration of being the only sane person in this chaotic post apocalyptic world. I can't wait to read or listen to the rest of the story.

Great
Would you consider the audio edition of The Hospital: The FREE Short Story: The First Mountain man Story to be better than the print version?
Yes. I love that the story gets told so well
Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Keeps up the momentum through the other stories
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The gore factor and the way he describes so was but so gross but great narration throughout the book. I was intrigued to know more of this story
Any additional comments?
I brought the 2nd one because I need to know what happens

Over the top gore
It's a zombie book so I guess... what do you expect? Not truly brutal or shocking, just gore and cliche horror type character/monsters to the point where it's cheesy. It's a bit of a pity because it was OK before it went over the top.

Not worth it
I admit - I downloaded it because it was free and wondered if the series would be interesting. First of all, very little happens. Secondly, the blood and guts seemed to be more for the sake of it rather than furthering any action or story line. And, i admit, zombies are not really my thing. [But I was prepared to have zombies if the rest of the book was okay.]

Tries too hard to be gruff and manly, still good
Basic writing skills clearly demonstrated by the choice of stories / adventures the character goes through. Everything you would expect from a survival zombies book. I still enjoy it nonetheless. I guess the choice of performer is suited to the main character. I'd probably pick up the next in the series if there is any.

Written and voiced very well. The old bat hiding in the hospital was portrayed amazingly.
