About this listen

Something has happened to the world.

People are going mad, the very foundations of society are crumbling. Only Adam Keller, testing a prototype environment suit, apparently remains safe - but for how long?

Can anything be done, can any of it be reversed, before everything goes to rot?

The latest post-apocalyptic tale from award-winning and best-selling author Paul Kane (the sellout Hooded Man, The Disease, The End of the End) presents a nightmarish vision of a possible future, blending social commentary with pause-resisting action. This is one that fans of The Road and The Walking Dead will really not want to miss!

Some kind of a chemical attack out of nowhere hits the town causing everything to rot starting with the softest tissue like brain matter which drive people crazy and moving on to the rest of the world including whole cities.

Paul Kane wrote this more as a journal than a book which is a nice idea especially for a audiobook, new for me.
Adam Keller a test pilot crashes a helicopter, after surgery he looses his pilot license, in the mean time a new self sustaining body suit was invented and he agreed to be the one that will test it, feels like silicone but it’s much more because it’s self sustaining using a self repairing nanotechnology and it recycles everything that the body needs so food or water are pretty much not needed.
The real question is what is the cause of the rotting?
No answer for that.
Chris Barnes narrated this one really good, it only took a bit to get used to his strong Irish / Scottish or British accent.

My
recommendations !!!

Oded Ostfeld.


A rotting world !
