Ok in parts

The behaviour of the main protagonist and her friends is often a bit ridiculous. For example, her the refusal to accept fairly obvious facts is annoying and why does no one take even basic security precautions?

The narrator’s voice is quite monotone - I found slowing down the speed helped a bit.

Having said that, I was quite interested in what happened next, but the author doesn’t seem to have had her sequel published. It was in final editing stage in early 2020 according to her FB page, but nothing seems to have happened since as far as I could determine. This is very annoying, as Survivors ends on a cliffhanger!

Run of the mill

The way she repeated the same words over and over very annoying and won’t bother with any follow up

Great listen. Scary premise!

Apocalyptic story set in Aus about a flu that wiped most people out. Society as we know it stops! Produced 1 year before the Covid pandemic!!

Interesting take but lacking in dynamism.

Much of this book is an enjoyable and believable story. I’ve had a penchant for post apocalyptic stories since my teenage years, but they are all too often directed at American gun loving survivalist nut jobs and I find that quite boring and frankly dangerous. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a non gun worshipping female lead and an Australian setting. But the story moved a little too slowly for me and the ravages of a post pandemic world were only slowly coming to light as the book ended. Despite this I’d happily buy into book number two!

A wife’s book

I enjoyed it not too deep and horrible considering the story line, a good listen, but I prefer a story with aircraft (so not my usual listen, good though).

Good

I enjoyed listening to this audio book. It was an interesting change of scene as it’s set in Australia, instead of USA like the usual post apocalyptic survival stories. The narrator did a good job of making the main characters believable. I hope there will be a sequel.

A very enjoyable book!

I really enjoyed this - a very relatable storyline, given our experience of Covid (albeit not as drastic!) and a good performance by the narrator. I echo the frustrations shared by others about the cliffhanger ending…and still no sign of Book II! Still definitely worth a listen, as a Plus Catalogue offer.

Be aware

This is obviously book 1, no sign of book 2. The story is left up in the air.

Good story, awful ending

Good solid story but not particularly exceptional. The ending however, spectacularly awful……..interestingly it was written a couple of years before the real pandemic

Easy listen

I enjoyed listening to this book and will listen to the next book too. Nicely written and set in Victoria, where I grew up. Believable story.
