The Wrath of the Just

Apocalypse Z, Book 3

De: Manel Loureiro, Pamela Carmell - translator

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

From apocalypse…

An act of terrorism unleashed an unspeakable biological weapon…and hell on earth. But as the masses felled by a hideous virus rose from the dead to prey on the living, a small band of survivors defied death and its ghastly spawn - determined to outrun the world’s end, and somehow begin again.

To Armageddon…

But beyond the undead-besieged shores of Europe lies something closer to damnation than salvation. Rescued from certain death at sea, the young Spanish lawyer, the beautiful woman he loves, and his brash, battle-hardened best friend - who have weathered the worst of the unnatural disaster - find themselves delivered from a world of horror into a stronghold of hate. In a United States ravaged by the Zombie plague and overrun by the undead, only Gulfport, Mississippi, offers sanctuary…for a price: Subservience to a fascist dictator and his brutal enforcers. But their reign of terror will soon be challenged. By rebels hungry for vengeance, and invaders bent on conquest.

Excellent & surprising final adventure!

The first was a slow start with a great build up and end that made you rush for book two. Then as in most cases book series book two does fall kinda short.

But this final book, WOW! Sucked me right back in after the minor let down of book two. Unexpected enemies and an adventure completely unpredictable even as you’re listening and the scenes and players are set coupled with a moment towards the end if you’ve read the series will bring a tear.

I highly recommend this finale to anyone that felt slightly disappointed by book two and weary of the final book like I was.

Great ride and really enjoyed this series as a whole.

Good story

Over all a good story. Went a little sideways, the ending could have been a bit better. left a lot open to add new stories within it.

Enter the "Reverend".

What remains of our group encounters a new problem. Believing they were being rescued by the military they found themselves prisoners in a town controlled by a religious fanatic, his guards being escaped convicts. The leader, the “Reverend”, was not only religiously twisted, but also a devout racist and chauvinist. Did I miss any redeeming traits? The story chronicles our group’s efforts to survive and escape this new torture they found themselves in. The infected or undead seem to be going through some changes as well. I’ll have to leave that up to you to discover. Amongst all this madness yet another terror came calling. North Koreans had invaded the territory and were on a quest for oil and supplies. They found much more than they bargained for. You are in for an exciting conclusion to the trilogy to be sure.

Underrated series

This whole series is quite good. I feel like it isn't getting the attention it deserves. A man with a cat bonds with a group of survivors to fight off evil, both human and zombie. Very fun adventure here and the narrator is fabulous!

One of the best books

This book was amazing and a blessing to be able to find it. The writer is talented and have an amazing skilled to not only write but to entertain. I felt like I was part of this story and felt like I could really picture the life of these characters. Love it!

My review

Again a interesting ending. These books kept my interest and curiosity going for all three books. Not to mention the rest it provided me. thanks

Great trip!

This was a really fun book and very well read. The only issue was a weak ending - but the rest of the trip made up for it.

Great Read Except for Some Annoying Details

This was a great listen. The only thing I hated about this series was the way the author writes the women. It always bothered me that the author made the main female interest always as some 'young, hot, and sexy woman with perky breasts' who has a strong fire in her eyes. Yet throughout the entire story she's whining and crying and gets herself in trouble. She's honestly nothing more than some hot girl who is stupidly head over heels for the main character. And yet the author still hints at some form of infidelity which ultimately brings nothing to the story. All it shows is how terrible the main female lead is written. If you compare the female lead to the main characters Russian Bestfriend you'll understand just how bad it is.

Excellent conclusion

All three audio books were great. I really cared about the characters and generally felt sadden when died. The end to this trilogy was satisfying with the expected survivors making it. The only I didn't like the time jump at the end. I mean did they let the rest of the hellouts die? I doubt there was enough to share but maybe that's something that can be explored in a follow during the six year time jump.

An enjoyable zombie apocalypse story

I read the three books in this series one after the other without a break. I thought I was a bit burnt out on zombie apocalypse stories however this one held my attention. Yes there are many reviews by readers who were not happy with book 3. And there were a couple areas in book 3 that I quickly skimmed over as I did not feel the need to hang on each written word. Due only to my personal issues, not a reflection on the author or story at all. That being said, I also was curious how the story would end, and was pleased. If I reveal why I was pleased it may give away the ending. I would like to say I was thoroughly impressed with the narrator who has a gift for accents, leaving no doubt who was speaking at the moment. I enjoyed how the series started out narrated strictly from the protagonists journal and personally felt the change from the journal was seamless. I don't critique books as an editor should, I get wrapped up in the characters and the stories told throughout. I would highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy the PA genre, if you are tired of zombie stories, give this one a try and you may be pleasantly surprised as I was.
