Everything I want in an Audiobook.

This is my perfect Audiobook, superb long story, very well narrated and produced, one of those that you really dont want to end. From the first 10 minutes I knew I was going to really get into this one and I did, could not get enough excuses to listen to this in my days and evenings. The best post apocolypse audiobook I have listened to since Oryx and Crake. 5 Star rating no question.

Immersive

This was my first audiobook, so I was a bit apprehensive - not having a physical copy made me wonder what I *do* while listening- however I need not have worried. Both the story and the narrator gripped me, if not quite from the get-go, then not long after, and I could not stop listening.
The characters, plot and timeline can confuse initially; there are three books in all, and they flit between people and places and points in history before they converge, but the narrator was so convincing that I knew who I was listening to and when.
There is quite a lot of detail, but I think this is what helps you become so invested in the story, and consequently, what happens to the characters. This is a book I will listen to again and again, as small details make themselves evident to add to a story which in current climates, seems all too believable.

Very, very good if slightly too long a book

The world within this novel is a detailed one, with Cronin sometimes providing much more detail about tiny elements than necessary, meaning I occasionally got frustrated and just wanted the narrative to progress. That said, it does paint a very vivid picture and I’m hooked on the story itself. I’m sure I’ve listened to other titles read by this narrator too, who has a great voice for these kind of gritty stories. I do recommend it, just make sure you’ve got the patience to get through it!

A really great storyline exceptionally well read

Scot Brick at his very best. I wasn't sure if I would like this story or not at first. A bit of a "walking dead" storyline. To be honest I only choose it because of the narration. I am an avid fan of Scott, and feel that anything he chose to read must be worth listening to. Oh how I was right to believe. An exceptional storyline from start to finish. Danger, exciting, a little romance thrown in and lots and lost of "killing vamps". The storyline did follow a bit of the usual line of virus wipes out most of mankind, but a few brave heroes go out to save humanity. I won't tell you how it ends, but a really good audiobook, and really worth the listen. Happy Audiobooking........

Female voice

Female voice very annoying but she isn't in it much. Story is amazing! Really enjoyable, and the main narrators voice is lovely

Entertaining story, well read

I very much enjoyed this book, the story felt very Steven King-esk, and was very well narrated, with good emphasis, tempo, and voices. My only gripe would be that some of the gun based action scenes seemed a little out of place on occasion, and we seemed to drift into Tom Clancy territory. Overall, recommended and I am looking forward to the continuation of the story in The Twelve.

Absorbing story. Very enjoyable.

This is a story which starts quite slowly - even the narration seems a little slow to start with. But the story draws you in and it becomes increasingly absorbing. The change in the chronology is a necessary part of the narrative. You might be tempted to give up here, but if stay with it, you will find the book pays you back. Really enjoyed it.
