Non stop super exciting

It kept me up at night because it was so thrilling.

People in other reviews said there are inconsistencies. I probably just flossed over those, haven't thought of any that mattered.

I've read a lot of apocalypse stories, and this one is up there with the best actually.

It may not be the most realistic premise for a story. The army thing is hilarious, the plague is so weird it's kind of cool. But those things are not really important. What is, is the ambiance of the story. And that's where this book excels and makes me happy.

The characters are real in a way that I love. They fear and fret and make jokes and have bad dreams. They are annoyed with each other and try to make things work.

Thanks to that I really care what happens.

This was a great read, I'm going to move on with the next one right now.

RAW, SPECTACULAR & ENTHRALLING!

Finally a gripping, fast paced, deep and believable story in this genre. The Remaining is unforgettable and has made such an impression on me I’m so excited I came across it. Entertainment at its best I’ve lost myself in this epic feast and the blurry eyes mornings were totally worth it! Be warned if you pick it up you won’t be able to stop! DJ Molles THANKYOU

Not Bad, have spare credits why not get it.

Where does The Remaining rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

These books are ok, if i was busy and had little time spare i would not get but had 2 weeks with time to fill travelling all over the place so got through all 4 books

Any additional comments?

It is a zombie twist book which is enjoyable, plots twists are a bit flat and disappointing really, for such a super solider he is a bit dim at times but it is humanity i suppose but really for such a job he has he is always lacking control..... but overall i enjoyed the book even if a bit weaker than other zombie books

So good i bought the paperbacks too.

Just the type of book i was looking for. Reminds me of the 'After it happened' series.

Great start to a series.

Another great narration from Christian Rummel…he really adds a depth to the story. Excellent story that got me from the start…..strange listening to plague type novels post Covid and realising how these things could so easily become true!!….sleep tight people.

Cliffhanger alert

Would you try another book written by D. J. Molles or narrated by Christian Rummel?

I will probably get the next book and read it. Wasn't happy with where/how it ended and would like to see what happens next. Found it very hard to settle into the narration - it was jerky, over dramatic and irritating.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have actually had an ending, so that it could be a stand alone novel and people could have a choice about reading the next book, rather than feeling that they paid for a whole book but only got half a book. Feel pressed into reading the next book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Christian Rummel’s performances?

Absolutely not.

Was The Remaining worth the listening time?

Because of the irritating narration, and the frustrating "ending" I'm actually not sure. I finished the book feeling irritated and cheated.

Great story ...but...

A really good story that is ruined for me by the stereotypical "defenseless female" trope. the female he meets is even more useless than the 12 year old child in the story, maybe because the child is a boy? Can writers begin to realise that women come in more than three types...
1.the weak defenceless ones who end up being a love interest and need constant rescuing and reassurance , no different to a child.
2.the butch lesbian type who will also need saving at some point, usually because she thinks she is equal to a man but finds out that(of course) she needs his protection and common sense
3. the mother, older and completely nurturing of everyone, will care for every one but give "tough love" when needed.

writers, please speak to some actual women for ideas

The word ‘Zombie’ does not appear in this story

This is a Zombie novel, basically. Or, better described as the First Part of one. There other sequels I gather. This book is not a complete story by any stretch of the imagination.

Well narrated, but not especially well written.

Great story - narration not so much

I've read these series of books and a part of me wishes I had never bought the audio as I loved the books. The narrator pretends to do female & child voices - (in this case, Angela, Sam and Abby) it's clearly a male voice pretending to be female and it's very irritating and distracting to the point I won't be buying any more of the audible series.
