Decent zombie series

This is a good start to a series, I hope the next book will be as good.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, bit confusing at first but worth sticking with. a different working and perspective on a zombie type virus end of days.

listening again and it's as good second time around

Interesting and entertaining read

An entertaining read that kept my interest right to the end, an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of suspense and intrigue.

Above average Zombie Apocalypse novel

This was the first Daniel Greene novel I've read, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. In some ways it is a standard ZA novel with a strange virus which starts in Africa and then spreads across the world, but it is done really well and the as the first team return from Africa it comes as quite a shock to find the infection has already reached the US. The story is told from different points of view and each one helps build the story layer by layer. There is a good mix of the 'professional' soldier/agent who seem able to manage everything easily and your run of the mill citizen who is simply scared and just trying to survive. There is also a relatively brief section showing how political bureaucracy is simply unable to cope with this kind of emergency. After such a solid start it will be good to see how the story develops in book 2
The narrator did a good job of keeping the reader's attention and keeping the pace of the story moving along.

Ok, though a lot of silly patriotic guff too

The storyline is quite good and exciting, although none of the characters are developed much. It does have a lot of weird patriotic stuff that means nothing and sounds silly to non-Americans, and probably any wise Americans too.

Steel! No, just no.

The hero is called Steel. Do I have to say anymore? He is so generic it's funny, unintentionally funny. The actual story ain't half bad, I just couldn't stand the cringe that is Steel.

End Time is Only the Beginning!

So you've finished the Arisen series or maybe Mountain Man and fancy some more zombie horror. Well, life wouldn't be what it is without at least a small zombie horde trudging through your imagination would it? If this is where you find yourself then maybe adding a little Steele into your life isn't a bad approach. He's tough, uncompromising and probably just the kind of guy you'd want to have by your side when the people around you decide they want to chew your arms off. He's a counter-terrorism agent sent into Africa to retrieve among others an expert virologist who is among the first to grasp the magnitude of the events unfolding. He's joined in the story by some other strong characters but don't get too attached to anyone because the body count in this one is high. There are strong horror scenes from the start in what is a very fast-paced and action-packed audiobook that is read well.

Judging from this first volume it's not going to be a genre-defining series nor is it going to deliver a whole new take on a zombie apocalypse. However, it delivers a lot of action centered around some strong characters and will be a good read for anyone who simply can't get enough zombies into their life. I enjoyed the way it threw me straight into the mix and kept the action coming. I'll certainly be following this one.

Could have been great

I just wish men would stop writing fantasy women who are as beautiful as they are stupid. The heroine Gwen was a very two dimensional character with no real redeeming features. In fact in real life I would have strangled her before the book was half way through.

Could have been so much better

Started off promisingly enough but as the story progressed the lead character became more and more unhinged to the point of hysteria.
How this guy was supposed to be an elite counter terrorism agent eluded me. And yes - we get it - he’s a proud American from the only country in the world that matters.
His behaviour towards his girlfriend was controlling, his antagonism to anyone female or of different ethnicity was completely racist and stereotypical.
Honestly began to feel as if the second part of the book was written by a bot it was so bad.
There’s lots of great audiobooks out there about zombies but this isn’t one of them.
