Summary

From Book 1: The virus CO-D4 rages across the globe with debilitating effects. Authorities, scientists and medical personnel scramble to find a cure. Those who fall victim to the virus, experience a fast and insufferable death and then they come back.

Chaos erupts and the world moves to the brink of extinction until the realization that a cure is not the answer, containing the crises is. The virus is not just a pandemic, it’s a war. The battle is on, front lines are drawn and mankind holds the upper hand. Controlling the victims before they rise is the only way to stop it. 

But Doctor June Mannis doesn’t believe that. She sees something else in the victims…hope. She is a lone soldier in a private war that will prove to be either insanity or humanity’s turning point. 

From Book 2: When the CO-D4 virus rages across the globe, it not only leaves behind death and destruction, it creates three types of survivors. Those who want to see the infected die, those who want to help the sick, and those who want humanity to rise above it all.

In the wake of his friend and colleague’s rectification, Doctor James Ung is one of those who wants the best of humanity. His struggle to help others becomes increasingly difficult by the day as the rate of infected grows.

Major Tom Leland wants to kill all those with CO-D4 until he meets June Mannis. Her death opens his eyes to it all and he begins to see the virus differently. He forms an unlikely friendship with James Ung. The two of them fight to keep humanity together while not letting June Mannis’ work be in vain.

The untested cure is on the horizon. Will mankind be able to hold on that long? If that is, the cure actually works.

The way you go out is the way you come back.

The two Rectify novellas in the one audiobook.
It started for June in the sleepy Pittsburgh hospital where she was a doctor, when a recently admitted patient with a fever appeared to go mad and attack his wife. Soon news of the virus was everywhere and the hospital wasn't quiet any more. The infected grew I'll with a flu-like virus, then nearly died but then revived. Only now the individuals were violent and no longer there. Or were they? Dr.June Mannis was not convinced that the person had actually gone.
Book two continues the story: control had been re-established and June's colleague, Dr.James Ung, had returned to work at the hospital. Together with Rectifier, Major Tom, he begins s to think that June's ideas might just have been right.

From the very beginning of the book, there is an immediacy in the story which draws in the reader. Sentences are mostly brief, information given is stark, the mounting fear felt by June simlly, and powerfully, expressed. As a relative newcomer to the work of Jacqueline Druga, this reader was again touched by her more positive assessment of the human psyche than that usually found in apocalyptic fiction. And that this in no way lessens the thrills of the story.

Narration by Andrew Wehrlen's is always good, and his performance here is no exception. A fast but not too fast, delivery well fitted to the text and individual voicing of the characters make this a pleasure to hear as well as enhancing the tension inherent in the two novelettes.

A zombie tale without actual zombies, the still living dead are no less frightening and this two book series will delight anyone fond of the genre. My thanks to the rights holder of Rectify, who, at my request freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. The author has again developed an intriguing spin on the apocalyptic scenario. I do not know if there will be a continuation to this series but I hope so. I want more.

A slightly different book for long-time Druga fans

I love Jacqueline’s books (I’ve been following her for years), but to be honest, this wasn’t really one of her better titles.

From what I’ve read by Druga, her niche tends to be ‘prepper’ style post-apocalypse fiction (virus outbreaks, nuclear war, etc).

So this move into outright zombie chomping undead (more science fantasy, than science fiction) is a real shift away from her more ‘realistic’ post-apoc fiction.

Still, it is a decent enough listen, but only if you can get past the narrators delivery.

I’m not too sure why, but the narrator sounds as though they’ve rushed through the book. Their delivery tends to sporadically switch between hurried and slow - think ‘Captain Kirk’ monologue-style delivery.

Also, the narrator doesn’t do a very good job differentiating the voices between characters, so it would take me an extra moment or two to try and work out which character was speaking and when.

Zombies?

This book is like a zombie book, but has a few twists to it. Carving what's your own body just to feed a loved one zombie is just gross, even by the standards of normal zombie books. Pretty good all in all.
