This is quality literature
Revisado: 06-11-20
Moody has done something in this series that really doesn’t exist in the standard fare of the genre.
He uses a thoroughly engrossing apocalyptic tale to explore broader themes about the human condition. Where you read so many reviews of apocalyptic books that are deservedly labeled as being full of sexist gender roles, racist stereotypes, etc., David’s work lies in the other end of the spectrum.
The Hater series treats several of the key conflicts prevalent in the world we live in with nuance that will make you think.
Not inly that, but the 3 books combined are a worthy epic that I find utterly engaging.
Ive listened through 3x, and try to imagine how Hollywood could possibly do justice to such a sweeping and significant story.
I hope it DOES get made by a brilliant writer-director.
The narrator does an excellent job here too.
I just LOVE this series.

James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

It’s an Inuit Thing. You possibly don’t understand it.

Quite Engaging!

I am glad to have listened to this tale on our Thanksgiving journey. Dommek unfolds the story a section at a time, and circles back as various pieces of the past become relevant.
Great storytelling. Listen around a camp fire if you can!

Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, GA, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are eager to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home.

Very confusing plot
Revisado: 03-06-18
I tried very hard to keep up with the plot but it was impossible to do so. Half the time I wasn’t sure who was speaking. I had to keep going back on the book. I also didn’t like the reader trying to speak with a southern accent. I was very fake.

In The Apocalypse, the great majority of the men and women who fought with honor - with a sense of duty and loyalty - gave their lives for others, leaving those without honor to flourish and rule. Their rule is not marked by decency or civility, but by wicked brutality. Yet, in some very rare cases, the kind and the noble survived. These hardened survivors learned to live among the undead, but now they must learn how to stay alive among creatures that are far more monstrous: their fellow man.

What Happened P. Meredith?
Revisado: 07-01-16
No, no, no.... You can't do that and consider it good writing.
This book starts out with the best writing yet in the series. The author introduces a new character that is well conceived and presented: interesting, sympathetic, exciting, and not the flat stereotypes drawn in novel 1.
The storyline is engaging, new groups enter the picture, and the book shows great promise. And THEN... What happened Peter!?
Did your editor call and remind you of the impending deadline?
The style of writing changes as the plot lunges forward into a really improbable and disappointing plot problem.
It's difficult to describe without spoilers. Let's just say, would Spartacus be a good movie if, in the midst of the glorious battle for freedom, he decided to ride into Rome for a cheeseburger, and said, "Hey while I'm here, I think I'll just nail myself up on this cross for you!!"? If the analogy fails readers, forgive me. But know that toward the end P. Meredith hinged this really promising book on a ridiculous premise.
I'm off to listen to the next book. Still hopeful!
