Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
Stranded in the Amazon rainforest, a lost man fights for survival and discovers that the root of evil doesn’t just reside in the world’s darkest corners, but inside the hearts of all mankind. Dr. Gregory Zekser is on a mission to visit the furthest reaches of the Amazon, providing medical aid to recently contacted tribes. As a general practitioner and food pantry director, his life in Massachusetts can be chaotic, but serving people is what he does best, and he doesn’t mind sacrificing his personal life to help others, at home or half way around the world.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 317
They are not human. They are not natural. They are not friendly. At a research station in Antarctica, five of the world's top scientists have been brought together to solve one of the greatest mysteries in human history. Their subject, however, is anything but human. Deep beneath the ice, the submerged ruins of a lost civilization hold the key to the strange mutations that each scientist has encountered across the globe. When a series of sound waves trigger the ancient organisms, a new kind of evolution begins. A long-extinct life form is reborn.

Story4 out of 5 stars 193
Twenty-two-year-old Eileen goes missing while hiking in the remote Ashlough Forest. Five days later, her camera is discovered washed downriver, containing bizarre photos taken after her disappearance. Chris wants to believe Eileen is still alive. When the police search is abandoned, he and four of his friends create their own search party to scour the mountain range. As they stray farther from the hiking trails and the unsettling discoveries mount, they begin to believe they’re not alone in the forest...and that Eileen’s disappearance wasn’t an accident.

Miracles are happening. Pray to God they stop. In the dead of winter, on a highway in Quebec, a man crashes his car and survives. In New York, a homeless person is run over by a bus and lives. In Tokyo, a teenager jumps off a high rise building and fails in taking her own life. All over the world, miracles like these transpire, and people breathe a sigh of relief. But for the next week, some people will begin to suspect a terrible truth. A handful will even search for it. One man will find it. And in seven days, all hell will break loose.

It was supposed to be just another mission. Buried deep in the rugged Alaskan wilderness lies a secret that could alter the future of mankind - a secret that billionaire Elizabeth Grey has invested millions in solving. But when the dig goes silent, an elite team of battle-hardened military contractors is brought in led by former Marine Max Ahlgren. While the mission to make contact and rescue a team of scientists and engineers working on an “archeological” project seems like an easy payday, once on ground, the team discovers the grizzly truth that this is no ordinary rescue.

It started in the Middle East. A flu-like plague that infected thousands and killed roughly 10 percent of its victims. Those who died awoke once again, but they were no longer among the living - they came back as soulless, carnivorous corpses who desired only one thing: to feed on living human flesh. The citizens of Single Tree, California, want the stenches and those fleeing them to ignore the town long enough for it to be transformed.... But time is not on their side.

This book won a World Fantasy Award. It's remarkable: The stories are rich, fascinating stuff - creepy and unsettling and phantasmic. Imagine what Tolkien's Lord of the Rings would have been like if Tolkien had tried to tell that story sympathetically from the point of view of the human denizens of Mordor and you'll have the slightest sense of what you're about to wade into... but only just a sense.

Intriguing first book
An interesting book with many good ideas. Writing is generally good and exciting but occasionally shifts in perspective and style without warning. Despite this the story is very good. Performance is amazing. Love Wayne June.

A Very Interesting and Different Experience
I found this story quite unique. I thought the narration was wonderfully done and the story was perfectly paced. Some may say the back and forward between time periods was difficult but for me it gave the information just when it was needed and in fact added to the story. Well done Mr Kahle, I look forward to a sequel.

Gruesome , messy fun
Story arc bounces around a lot, which is setting them up for what appears to be a long series. It is very, almost gratuitously gruesome, which should appeal to fans of same, but be warned. My first listen of Wayne June, who brings his own level of creepiness to this offering. Overall I enjoyed it, but I am not sure I need to hear any more of the series.

Gets There In The End
OK, so this isn't the speediest plot in the world and I've enjoyed stories that meandered much less than this, but it's still a solid horror novel in the vein of HP Lovecraft. Wayne can't do an Irish accent which is unfortunately in the opening scene, but he handles everyone else so very well so if you wince at the first few minutes, please give it longer.
The plot jumps about more than a Michael Crichton novel and my brain took a while to catch up when I got back to listening, but the story grows ponderously and with strength IMO. Perhaps the backstories to all the characters isn't neccessary, but with Wayne June's narration I overlooked a lot of the niggles.
And they are niggles. I think this is a pretty good story and I was often left wanting to know what happens next. The characters were colourful and vibrant which is why they were developed so carefully.
Enjoyed it.
