About this listen

When a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) quarantine fails at Ben Taub Hospital, a Houston SWAT Team is sent to secure the facility. What they find is destruction and death....

Trapped in the hospital and cut off from the world, a mysterious voice on the radio is all they have to guide them. They're no longer on a mission to quarantine the remaining inhabitants. Instead, they have to destroy a multiplying menace that could infect the world before the Federal Government enacts a final solution.

Outbreak is a stand-alone parallel story to both the 2015 Parsec Award-winning novel The Black and The Black: Arrival. A mashup of action and horror, Outbreak is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing what's around the next corner.

Awesome narration. I highly enjoyed his performance. The story was action and suspense and kept you guessing, to an extent. The author has a way with words and weaving them in a fashion to keep you on your toes.

This was everything that I didn’t know I needed. Seriously do your worst chores with this one it will make the time fly. I painted my bedroom, scrubbed my bathroom and it felt like I had only just started. The suspense and the mystery ensured that this was an amazing read. There’s so much that happens and the pacing is brilliant. I could not pause this book.
