About this listen

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes an astonishing tapestry of humanity.

Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And, like Shana, there are other 'shepherds' who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.

For on their journey, they will discover an America convulsed with terror and violence, where this apocalyptic epidemic proves less dangerous than the fear of it. As the rest of society collapses all around them and an ultraviolent militia threatens to exterminate them, the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unravelling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

I’m not sure I would say I loved the story, it’s a brilliant story very well narrated but the subject matter is so close to now or how the now could deteriorate that I had nightmares for days... still, I would totally recommend it if you fancy very well drawn characters and a believable pandemic story line and what happens when men with guns and super egos take control... If there is a book 2 coming I’ll be first in line

Wow, kept me up long past my bedtime!

Really enjoyed the story to this one but unfortunately found myself not enjoying the two narrators. Xe Sands sounds constantly smug and talks far too quietly, barely even attempts to change her voice for different characters. Then there's Dominic Hoffman who... For some.. Insane....... reason always talks..... With huge.... gaps in each ...... sentence. Arrrgh!!!

Great book, annoying narration

Original, entertaining and yet not long enough. Also thought provoking and a terrific selection of characters.

Brilliant

Really liked the story, it's sprawling epic with lots of surprises and scarily prescient given recent events, but I wasn't crazy about the narration, especially some of the accents, and to be honest it felt a bit dull.

Great story - didn't love narration.
