About this listen

Ten years after the deadliest pandemic in human history, the same devastating strain of influenza strikes America without warning. One man holds the key to stopping the deadly outbreak in its tracks and the governments of the world - including his own - will stop at nothing to find him.

From Los Angeles, to Boston, to the Northern Rockies - follow Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, and average Americans as they struggle to save America and themselves. Apache Dawn is the story of America's fight for survival against a terrible virus, foreign invasion, and political intrigue.

Great start to a new for me series

Although I came to this series later than most it is certainly full of action, intrigue, and honor.

I like how the characters are developed slowly and look forward to learning more about them in subsequent books.

James Romick brings this book to life with his narration.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

Exciting Story

It was a little hard to follow at first, because I have trouble with names & sometimes have trouble keeping track of who is who in a long involved story like this. It is very well narrated however & I was soon totally engrossed. I somewhat hated for it to end. Although it's a fairly long story, the writing & narration were both excellent & I was never bored. I now need to find time to read or listen to the other 2 books in the trilogy.

Hooyah!

When I selected this series to read/listen to, a couple less than positive reviews and the fact that all four books were available with free codes made me wonder if I had made a mistake in my choice. By the middle of this first volume, I am happy to report I am no longer concerned. From the first time the U.S. Army Rangers and the U.S. Navy Seals commandeered their role in the story, I was hooked. The characters, their actions and genuine reactions to situations grabbed my interest and haven’t let go. The story switches between several sub-plots; Denny the teacher in Salmon Falls Idaho, Chad the hunter having valuable blood in Glacier National Park, Brenda Alston doctor and former military Captain in Los Angeles, Captain Derek Alston with a squad of Rangers ordered to retrieve Chad, Master Chief Cooper with a platoon of Seals directed to secure the President from a hospital in Los Angeles, Vice President Harold Baron and his *cough* assistant Jane Reynolds. Quite a list to keep track of but the tale moves along smoothly. The main story has the United States being invaded by foreign troops, softening us up first with a weaponized virus. I enjoyed this first volume and look forward to the next. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Absolutely boring

I thought this was supposed to be a zombie apocalypse story so I requested all 3 books, its not and now I’m debating on whether to waste my time with the other 2. It’s a cheap twist on Red Dawn, the North Koreans attack the U.S. and release a killer flu bug to cripple the country, and the Russians are in with them. 1st Seriously wrong choice of narrator, he did nothing to make the story interesting. He needs to work on his pronunciation and character voices. Also very slow narration, I had to listen to it on 1.5 speed to make it sound normal. #2 If you don’t know about a subject don’t write about it, not only Special Forces Soldiers are trained to double tap, every Soldier and police officer is taught that. What is a “battle lead out”? Its either battle rattle, combat gear, battle gear, take your choice. #3 Way too much lead up and story lines. Stick to a group of people in one location and build up that location and/or characters. I didn’t see the point in bouncing back and forth between multiple locations and multiple various characters. I skipped through the majority of the book as it was so boring.

Complete and utter nonsense

Would you try another book from Marcus Richardson and/or James Romick?

no

Any additional comments?

I rarely write reviews, but I just could not leave this one alone. I am a big fan of dystopian future stories, but I found this one to be so unrealistic ( and I love me some zombies, if that puts it into context) that I had to quit. I have hundreds of audiobooks, this is the first I ever gave up on. The military characters were horrible, the native character was a walking, talking stereotype, and the story line screamed of globalist take over paranoia. If that's your cup of tea, you might love it, but it wasn't for me.

Extremely difficult to listen to

Narrator was terrible. Mechanical sounding, terrible accents/dialects. Lost the storyline as it was so difficult to listen to.
