Good Story But….

As mentioned in several other reviews, listening to this narrator was almost refund request worthy. I was born in the Deep South and raised in Appalachia. This narrators ‘accent’ is horrible no matter what part of the country. It’s neither Deep South, Appalachian, country, nor anything else recognizable.
Sorry to be so negative but dang!

I loved the first seven books of the Nightlord series. Penumbra (yes, I had to look the meaning), however, falls a little short in my opinion. So very, very much introspection, self-doubt, searching for purpose, etc., etc. was a bit of a slough. I still love the characters and storyline but really wish the Dark Lord would get out of his own head a bit!!!

I really don’t understand the bad reviews. I loved this book. Lots of action, little of stupid personal drama, relatable characters, and great plot! Highly recommend!

I love the Joe Ledger books. This one is no exception. I get impatient with the lead up to the action but always love Jonathan Mayberry’s science fiction.

After reading the reviews I almost didn’t listen to this book! It is great! Wonderful science fiction, enough prior service military action, and an ending I just couldn’t predict. I loved the main characters (as opposed to several other reviewers). Highly recommend.

I love science fiction. Zombies, space, etc., etc. I just could not get into this book - and I listened to the entire thing!

You Gotta Get Through the First 3 or 4 Books!

So……my below review is for the first 3 or 4 books. I sloughed through and the MC did in fact ‘grow a pair’ in the latest books. At least a bit. It does get better but a bit of a slough.

Original Review: This story had so much potential! I normally listen/read sci-fi genre: zombies (Mark Tufo!), outer space, all combined with military. I purchased this book thinking I’d get 34hours of a great listen. (Having previously loved books by Jeremy Robinson and books read by R.C. Bray.)
Unfortunately I have to agree with other reviewers. The MC has great potential, is a youth at the outset of the book, and is a particularly scared kid.
However, after many, many trials and tribulations the young protagonist DOES NOT find his courage, or realize his great potential, or overcome obstacles.
I find myself frequently wanting to yell “Grow a pair!” . Sigh.

I enjoyed the first book in this series. I was enjoying the 2nd book until almost the end. But then screech - a sharp right turn!

Most stories in this genre (my favorite) begin with a government lab, or an evil empire, or a greedy corporation releasing a horrible zombie causing virus. This author posits the U.S. government intentionally releasing the virus to eliminate certain sections of the population, i.e., street people, those with no skills, etc. And to add insult to injury……..the safe zones/rescue centers were set up (again by the U.S. government) to study the effects of the virus on those exposed.

Said in my authentic southern Appalachian accent “the gov’mnt is the cause of all our problems!”. Give me a break!

I just don’t get the bad reviews. As per usual with Mr. King, excellent writing, great characters, and what a story! Don’t believe that I’ve heard Seth Numrich, the narrator, before but he is an excellent fit for this book. I’m adding this book to my favs and will be giving it another listen I’m sure in the future.

Zombies with romance is fine. Zombies with too much emotional angst is not. Good story line but too much love story in an apocalypse.
