A Genuine High Quality Series

This series just keeps on giving, it's consistently of high quality and the easy summary is that if you liked the previous books, you will like this one too. The zombies keep developing in terms of how they stalk our human heroes and at times the flight for the flight deck was reminiscent of World War Z.

It's gripping stuff. There were one or two strange moves by the characters that were hard to explain for such high level professionals but war is often as much about stupidity under pressure losing the day as it is about brilliant tactics bringing victory so I think the authors can be allowed this.

Narration remains very good. Only complaint I can have about this series is that I want MORE than is currently available!

Fantastic

This is a gung-ho zombie rollercoaster ride, well-performed by RC Bray. The best in the series so far!

Breathtaking book

A great book with an awesome battle that really gave me a hard time putting this book on pause.

A little over the top now

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Crisis after crisis, after crisis..... the story is great but ruined a little by everything that can go wrong does. It gets a bit repetitive and really isn't needed - it's a zombie apocalypse what more do you need?

Would you recommend Exodus to your friends? Why or why not?

No. There are better zombie apocalypse stories out there now.

What about R.C. Bray’s performance did you like?

RC Bray is, by far, the best narrator there is. What's not to like.

Do you think Exodus needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

This is already part of a series.

Any additional comments?

I've read up to book 5 now, but I'm going to be giving the rest of the series a miss (at least for a while). I found I was skipping through 30secs or so too frequently as the writers spend too much time trying to make everything a crisis.

Heading in a great direction....

If you could sum up Exodus in three words, what would they be?

Fast, exciting, tiring...

What was one of the most memorable moments of Exodus?

There were too many parts to list, but I can’t help but think that the authors may have paid some homage to ‘The war of the Worlds’ (book version) perhaps with the callsign of the fighter plane that saves the tiny yacht when it is trying to make its way out to open water…… There were others, but that one stuck….

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The battle on the flight deck was very gripping with some fast passed action. The description of the multitude of dead trying to overrun the deck was reminiscent of the scenes in World War Z (film version) where the dead overran the walls around Israel. There were a few things that they (the character’s) seemed very slow in putting into action or even thinking about that seemed quite obvious to me, but I shan’t say what they were, you will have to listen to it yourselves without me picking at it! The Arisen series are one of my most favourite zombie stories ever, and I’m keen to see how things pan out in the next book and anticipate running into Zak from Genesis. Excellent.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Finding and saving the dam dog.

Any additional comments?

All in all I am very pleased with the entire series. Yes there are some parts that make you question the occasional stupidity of the Operators when seemingly obvious mistakes and errors are made, but it is a story. It is designed to drag you in and occasionally curse and shout "You idiots!", but that is what a good story is supposed to do. If you haven't tried any others, then "The Remaining" by D.J. Molles is also panning out very well. Also "Plague of the Dead" by Z.A.Recht was very enjoyable and only overshadowed by the authors sad and untimely death before he could finish anymore. RIP Mr.Recht. Then there is “We’re Alive” and of course “The Walking Dead”. Listen to them all…..

Utterly brilliant

The story from hell continues with no let up for both the Kennedy and Alfa team. Another brilliant performance by RC Bray.

Fairly good but feminist narrative gets on nerves

Like I said amazing story line but the fact that this author believes men and women are the same and has gone out of his way to make sure his characters score virtue signalling points gets on my nerves.

Superb.

Can't wait to listen to the rest. Very well read not a struggle at all

Bring Out your dead

Book five was awesome a thrill ride from page one to the last page and a few nice surprise along the way

A little too much

The writers do kinetic action better than most. Their knowledge of military operations is incredible. Their characters are flat but fun. But their fabrication of crisis after crisis, most becoming ridiculous and predictable has stopped me going further in this series.
