About this listen

Cotton Crossing was a dead end, but not for Ginny Mills. She's just marking time, getting experience in the county library system, before moving back to a decent urban environment. Then the phones stop working.

Lee Quartine knows there's no way the pretty girl at the library will even look at him. Especially since he can't open his mouth. He knows he's a hick, but when the power starts going out and the woods are full of strange creatures, it's good to have someone around who can build a fire. And kill.

Ginny, Lee, and their small band of survivors can't stay put, and moving is dangerous. The infected are shambling in the hills and the concrete canyons of cities.

It's gonna be a long trip...

I've read (and watched) a broad variety of zombie apocalypse stories and have to say I genuinely enjoyed this author's approach to storytelling, character development and juxtaposition, and threat/antagonist development.

Reading (listening to) this was a balm to a couple of the previous American zombie apocalyptic novels I encountered where the author's implicit biases were so pronounced, as to appear antithetical to the quintessential idea of the apocalyptic scenario as an opportunity for sociopolitical resets to be found in social and infrastructure breakdown.

In this series, the characters were crafted as wildly stratified but unified, however awkwardly, by the common goal to survive and persevere. They clawed their way through survival and clung to each other. But in particular was a breath of fresh air to encounter characters snatched from different swathes of the American fabric as they navigated the terrifying infected-filled landscape.

I became so invested in the characters' journeys and how things would end up for humanity, I listened to the trilogy back to back.

The narration was also engaging and such a good pick for this work. Highly recommend.
