Publisher's summary

How do you stay alive when your basic survival instinct is out of control?

After a mysterious outbreak sweeps the town of Marfa, Texas, causing the fight-or-flight reaction in residents to become unstable, chaos soon erupts. It’s not long before the US military instigates a cordon sanitaire to contain the contagious, and a small band of survivors finds itself at the center of a terrifying government experiment.

At the onset of the devastation, Chief Brody Jackson is not only juggling a six-month separation from his wife, dealing with an unruly son, and hunting down a homicidal maniac, but now, he’s torn between protecting the town and saving his dysfunctional family.

As the lights and communication go down and the epidemic decimates the small population, only three things are certain - no one is safe, everyone is a threat, and family is everything.

Good read

The pace was nice and the characters enjoyable. Plot wasn’t bad and I enjoyed the fact that I know the area. Waiting on book two.

Not even Kevin Pierce could save it for me

I wanted to like this book, in fact I was so looking forward to immersing myself in a great story and with Kevin Pierce narrating to boot. I could only make it just under halfway and that included not hitting pause when I left the room. I thought the story line was all over the place. I'm glad a lot of folks had a good to great experience with this based on the ratings, but the story never made sense to me and I couldn't finish it. I am a post-apocalyptic, EMP or zombie fanatic, this just wasn't my cup of joe (I don't drink tea) Just my opinion so don't be offended.

Not good

I couldn't even make it past the opening chapter. This was written for children.

A note on the narration, normally I enjoy Kevin Pierce, but he was almost breathlessly rushing through this. It seemed like he just wanted to be done with it. I cannot blame him.
