About this listen
Mysterious spores spread across the Earth, unseen, undetected. They embed in the sinuses, move to the brain, and colonize the entire nervous system. When the takeover is complete, they kill the host and animate the body, making them truly undead, flesh-devouring zombies.
As the pandemic spreads the world becomes aware of the peril, but there is no cure, and there is no refuge. Society crumbles, governments search in vain for solutions, and individuals around the world struggle to save themselves and the people they love.
Watch as a grizzled old ex-Marine outside Chicago, a Cossack firefighter from the Siberian Arctic, a twelve-year-old sword-wielding Japanese schoolgirl, a policeman from Cairo, a primate researcher in the Congo and many others struggle for survival against the impending apocalypse.

Refreshing take on a zombie novel
I'm not really a zombie fan. I think they can often be cliché and all get a bit samey. What sets William Hale Harrison's book apart is the excellent descriptive writing and the deep, multifaceted characters. They don't just have a single superficial motive, they have complex backstories and histories that makes them feel like real people. Even side characters feel fully fleshed out and have you caring for them within a few moments. For me this is what sets the novel head and shoulders above others. I just can't wait for the subsequent books to be released on audible!

Don’t bother
Yawn. A totally forgettable story full of cliches. I stuck with it but it was tough going. The poor story was in no way helped by the narrator who mispronounced words and was not good at accents. I winced at the attempted Indian and Japanese accents and cringed when, inexplicably, the American accents ended up sounding northern English.. just weird. I will not be buying any more by this author nor narrator.
