As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

The eruption isn’t the worst of it

I enjoy Max Brooks’ style of writing-novels that read like journals interspersed with recorded interviews. This one even included a couple of blurbs from NPR.
The bulk of the story consists of the contents of a journal kept by one of the characters. She goes into vivid detail about the day to day survival of a group of people stranded by the eruption of Mt. Rainier in Washington State. I felt like I was right there with them.

Under a shroud of darkness and maliciousness, a viral weapon was being produced by an alliance of terrorists bent on the destruction of their respective enemies. When double-crossed by an ISIS faction, the viral weapon is stolen and prematurely unleashed on the planet. Now facing a worldwide epidemic, The Light Reapers are deployed to rescue a scientist who may be able to develop an antidote. If that wasn't difficult enough, they also must track down the ISIS faction and eliminate them. All while battling hordes of the infected.

If you are offended by gore and excessive swearing, particularly the use of the “F” word, this book definitely is not for you. There is an abundance of both. If this doesn’t bother you and you like stories with plenty of violence and military action, then get this book and enjoy.
I am generally not bothered by descriptions of violent bloody death or gratuitous swearing. My guess is that this would be typical for battle hardened men, and women, in situations like those depicted in this book. The action is nonstop. I was a bit disturbed by the deaths of some of the characters but it is fiction, so there is that. The bad guys are so unequivocally nasty that I rooted for the soldiers to prevail.
