About this listen

As a deadly Ebola outbreak tears through Africa, a new, horrifying strain emerges—one with nightmarish side effects. When containment efforts crumble, the virus spreads like wildfire across the globe, plunging humanity into chaos. But the true horror isn’t just the sickness—it’s what comes after. The dead aren’t staying dead.

In the heart of Charlotte, NC, a small group of survivors is left behind as the city collapses into an undead nightmare. Abandoned by the authorities and surrounded by flesh-hungry hordes, they embark on a desperate journey toward a rumored refugee camp on the outskirts. But as they fight to stay alive, they quickly realize that the walking dead aren’t their only threat—the very forces sworn to protect them have become just as ruthless, just as deadly.

In a world where the rules of civilization have been erased overnight, survival means trusting no one—and fearing everything.

Great story wack AI Voice.

I can respect the starving artist and using any means of getting your book on Audible, but the AI voice over makes the story mundane and slow. Author should’ve spent a little extra hiring a narrator or narrating himself. Won’t recommend due to AI narration and mispronunciation of simple words.

Ganked. At the End

This novel built everything up to the completely anticlimactic ending, & then just stopped. No resolution, just humming along & then it was abruptly over.

That virtual voice….

Is not it.
Storyline is cool if you can get past all the mispronunciations and the non-reflective voice.

storyline stayed in line, didn't stray with a lot of side stories.

The ai reading stinks, words misspoke or changed some, having different voices for different characters would be nice instead of the one man. Overall good book, 4.5 hours, good fast moving story that started with an origin, not in the middle of the apocalypse.

Zombie Nation the beginning

I'm glad it was free. Otherwise, I would be very upset. It's a basic zombie story with basic characters. The robot narrator didn't help.

It's a Decent Short Story

The AI narration is ok for AI, but a person could have done a better job. The constant use of the 3 letter title in front of one if the main character's name was irritating and served no purpose. Otherwise, the characters are well developed and the story is good. Typical zombie take with no surprises, but it was a good listen.

Great book

I loved the plot and characters. I don’t mind AI. The story kept you interested and I was so worried about the elderly couple.

S-P-C, wtf?

Not listenable. Ganley’s other book is much better. Ai voice here sucks. A real person reading would be better. Thinking I might boycott Ai voice Audible.

The remarkable and undeniable lack of personality in the virtual voice.

I’ve reviewed one before and said it then, I’ll read the ones I already have in my library, but I’ll never purchase another with AI narration. Too many errors and too little feeling. I believe the most correct word is “BLAH”. It actually put me to sleep for a while.
