75% there as a story but I enjoyed it all the same
Originally a self published book years ago, now released by a publishing company. The overall story is bit loose? does not have the more put togetherness to be fully satisfying listen but I did enjoy it and finished it in the same day. The story is the title and the narration is good.

Disappointing
Whilst this was fast paced and readable, it was a disappointing overall. We are launched straight into the middle of something big and the action is immediate. This would be fine if we had some retrospective character or world building, or some flashbacks in the timeline to get to know the characters and sequence of events. There is a bit of this but it is thin, flimsy and one dimensional. The whole book was very repetitive - run a lot, find somewhere to hide, get discovered, run some more. Implausibly, every peripheral character bit the dust in a gruesome, violent way but our family of four made it out alive every time.
I am usually a great fan of Scott Brick’s narration but he definitely didn’t get it right this time. Almost all the dialogue was read in the same frantic, over the top, verging on panic kind of way. This just didn’t work for me and should have been toned back a lot. Also, very surprisingly, Mr Brick can’t pull of an accent at all.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this title.

Narrator slightly ruined it
This was a good story if you're into this kind of thing - it's fast-paced, peril, gore, peril, peril, gore etc and the protagonist 'Jack' seems a little on the thick side...but resilient,, I'll give him that! The trouble was that the narrator, Scott Brick, is just too dramatic all the time and there is no room for nuance, or for when things get really dramatic because he's hamming it up to the max already..if I hadn't known better I'd have thought it was William Shatner in full Star Trek mode doing the narration, because he does sound very much like him. I got through it and enjoyed it somewhat, but it really could've done without the vocal drama - let the words do the work I say...also the attempt at Irish and Australian accents made me wince. On the plus side, he does have a very resonant voice...just maybe not suited to this sort of thing.

very disappointed
this is not the standard of his other brilliant novels. I thought abandon was bad but this is awful. gratuitous violence, it's like a bad zombie movie. avoid
