Summary
Greed, terrorism, and simple bad luck conspire to bring mankind to its knees as a viral infection spreads out of control, reducing those infected to undead horrors that feed upon the rest. It's a time of misery and death for most, however there are some who are lucky, some who are fast, and some who are just too damned tough to go down without a fight. This is their story.

I'm Muslim
There are 1.6 billion muslims in the world today. The religion of islam is hijacked by a small number of extremists aswell as Western propaganda. I'm sure everyone knows that every population has its extremists including the West. If this story was written in the 1930s or 40s or 50s I'm sure the culprits would be some other minority such as the red Indians.
Apart from my initial disappointment about muslims yet again being seen as the bad guys, this story was interesting. It was quite enjoyable for the most part.

A triumph in Apocalyptic Fiction
A true exploration of the end of the world and the people who are left to populate it. This is not a book of triumph where the good guys win and the bad guys lose, where the world is saved and everyone lives happily ever after. This is a book about people. The characters in this book are not simply two sides of a coin, they do not do what they do for justice or a sense of moral code, nor do they do what they do because they are truly evil. They simply do it to survive. I applaud the author for not shying away from the true behaviour of humanity in times of crisis. Any critiscism levelled towards Meredith about the portrayal of characters in this book is completely unfounded, as there have been many examples in history of how quickly our species discards its humanity in order to survive. There are certain parts of the book that are uncomfortable to read, and many of the motivations of the characters seem difficult to understand on the surface. But this book taps into the very essence of humanity. This is a very real apocalypse. It's dark and terrifying and at times downright twisted yet there are moments of light, where people choose the right path, not the easiest.
I am a big fan of apocalyptic fiction and have read and seen quite a lot since its resurgence in popularity over the last decade, but not one (in my opinion) has captured the true meaning of 'the end of the world' quite like this one. If i wore a cap, it would be doffed to Peter Meredith. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

Zombie porn Anx !
Too much sex and not enough virus . Most of the characters were really irritating This book is about Sex and feelings of inadequacy on and cringe worthy on! I like my apocalypse novels to be more like the fab Arisen series.
the Narrator pleasant to listen to so wouldn't be adverse to listening to something else narrated by him.
I wish I'd have had the opportunity to listen to the authors foreword before I had purchased he did try to warn his readers to be fair .

shame....
Like many things in life the begining promised much. By around half way the story which till then had been well crafted began to loose both edge and direction and started to unravel. The characters which were again in the begining were well crafted started to come apart at their seams. It was as though the author had been influenced by too many second rate movies. Rather that staying on course with the original plan or concept this second wave influence steered the whole thing off course. The last 15 chapters or so, were pretty poor and very stereotypical, containing some terrible dialogue, that was an injustice to an otherwise exciting listen. Basil Sands I though did an excellent job and I will look out for him in future.

Reality bites
unlike most talking books I stayed awake mostly due to the narrators voice not being boring. the author isnt afraid to kill off the week and I found myself agreeing with the survivors choices,
overall a great start to a series of books that I will buy more of

Shambolic
Got to chapter 10 then stopped. Could rant and rave about all the problems I had wgat'd this title...but i'll just say my main 2.
Ridiculously unbelievable stereotypical one dimensional characters and the whole title comes across like it's been written by a 15 year old.
By far the worst audiobook i've had the misfortune to hear.
Oh almost forgot the narrator was pretty awful too...the first time I heard his attempt at a 16 year old girl I had to laugh....thanks to the writing and his narrating I honestly thought she was 9 or 10.

Great read
I really enjoyed the layout of the story and also the characters. I listen to quite a few audiobooks in this genre but thought the way the story was set out this has been the best cant wait for the rest of the series

Engaging but..
The main storyline is engaging but there are really bad racial stereotypes.
It is possible to hold racist attitudes without really knowing it. Although the author says he is not racist, it is interesting how the language is used to frame two female characters of different races. They both experience almost the same horrorific thing, but the language is more sympathetic and understanding towards one than the other. The black woman is portrayed as hypersexual even after being brutalized. Additionally, her motivation behind her thirst for a guy seem unbelievable and as a result only further contributes to dehumanizing her character.

Zombie porn
I was loving the book until I got to the lesbian sex. Over the top sex like full on porn. Is it horror? Or should it be described as ‘horror erotica’. Ruined a good book by genre hoping throughout the novel.
