Not up to the usual excellent quality

Revisado: 04-27-25

I get the feeling that the writer was just trying to find another niche besides the 'end of civilization" theme.
He'll have to keep looking because this is not working. The main character is not well developed, which could be ok except for the endless "i'm gonna kill myself" thing that dragged on and on.
The plot lines are thin and not compelling. Yes, I know human trafficking is horrible but this story lives outside of a plausible scenario for the subject.
One of the things I like about Horton's other books is that the characters step up and deal with their issues and help others.
This guy is just in the way.

As always, excellent.

Revisado: 04-20-25

These books are consistently well written, fast paced and unpredictable.
Well worth the credit.
One note on this series- the capitol police are made out as bad guys in this book. They are in fact heroes. It’s the insurrectionists that deserve the writers scorn. Just wanted to set the record straight.

Believe it

Take the advice in the description and STOP.
This is a mashup of every zombie horror ghost bad movie you can think of.
No coherent plot and annoying to listen to.
Sending this one back. Couldn't finish it.

Well done ! Get over the music.

Revisado: 02-23-24

Use the big data people. Just because a whiny person complains about the music it doesn’t mean that it’s true. The music was less than a minute total in the whole book. It really is pathetic that a comment about the music can get elevated to the point that it would impact interest in the very good book. Look at the total reviews.

Pass the potatoes please

Revisado: 01-26-24

The reader hurts this book. Imagine someone who is trying so hard to sound neutral that they enunciate every word just as if they are reading the dictionary. Lighten up, Mr. Diggs, saying every word one at a time so you make sure you don't slip is not working for you. An ok story a little out of date, but go for it if you like mysteries.

Over and Over - I'm over

Revisado: 03-14-23

Suppose you were a writer, and had a notebook full of plot ideas that really weren't worth following up. Why not take them and using a lame novelistic device, recycle them into a repetitive, boring , almost painful novel? You could call it.....Infinite 2.

Fighting the last Boogeyman

Revisado: 02-24-23

This book is a psychologist's dream. Every fever dream of right wing paranoia combined with the sad , pathetic yearnings of incels. This book has it all. I suggest that the "author" up date the book, however. Although Hilary is in here, as well as FEMA and Homeland Security, there is no mention of the latest evils- Trans people and people from the other side of the wall. Still, Audible has done their part, making sure the hateful FEMA woman has a black accent.
Oh, and special mention goes to the ready- a man unable to pronounce simple words like goading ( groading).
The sad part is that there is a good story in here, if only the relentless hatred of anyone with a higher IQ than 50 was missing.
As the author's favorite person would say: SAD

Good entertainment

Revisado: 11-11-22

Tom Clancy invented a whole new genre of thriller- the well researched, entirely accurate story packed with actual real names and numbers of the weapons, submarines and guns. He spent years pouring over Jane's Fighting Ships.
The authors of this series seem to spend a lot of time pouring over the 5.11 website for fashion choices. One wonders if it's product placement or just fanboi love.
In any case, they should get a check in the mail.
A well written if predictable story. All the manly men will love it.
No really, very engaging.

It just keeps plodding ...................along

Revisado: 10-14-22

This happened with "Under The Dome". It took forever to get going. I just walked away from it and came back weeks later. Amazingly, it got better and ended really well. Unfortunately, lightning doesn't strike twice, even in fairy tales. Those comparing it to "The Stand" are really doing a disservice to those who like King but don't worship him. He's not the only writer that misses as often as he hits, but at least the others get honest reviews. We would all be better off if King was held to better standards, or at least everyone else's.

Guy Fieri for Oligarchs

Revisado: 07-06-22

Good to know that everyone is a visionary, far seeing person. I was not aware. Great to know that even the jerks aren't really jerks, it just wasn't something they could avoid.
This is the second book I have read by Mallaby. It's useful to inform yourself about these people, and he does that.
I used to work with a guy who made promotional films for local governments to try to attract big business to locate in the area. We always showed the nice parts, not the toxic waste dumps.
So you aren't going to get more than a promotional view of these people, but it's a start.
