About this listen

"Read it before the end of the world!" (Kevin J. Anderson, international best-selling author of the Dune Prequels)

When Temple wakes up in a filthy hotel, he doesn't remember a thing. Not how he got here. Not even his name. Temple just happened to be the first word he read on the bible sitting on the dusty nightstand.

When he discovers that he and all those around him are caught in the apocalyptic hellscape of a collapsing metropolis, he must carefully weigh the balance between charity and self-sacrifice as he sets out into this strange new world.

Grasping at a chance for purpose, he befriends young Nina. Someone to protect from the enumerable dangers and a glimmer of hope in his daunting quest for identity. He quickly learns protection is one of the few things he's made for, demonstrating vicious brutality against savages who seek to prey upon the weak.

Together, they search for anywhere truly safe to call home. A task made all the more impossible as they are chased at every turn by a plague of the shambling, silver-eyed undead.

The Walking Dead meets The Road in this dark post-apocalyptic tale with a supernatural twist, perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and Stephen King.

Now on Audible, narrated by the award-winning Steve West (Scythe, Interstellar Caveman). This book was formerly published under the title Immortal.

I wasn't sure if I would like this book, it's a very dark and gory tale of a future world destroyed by a plague, but the story is very well written with an inventive plot line and excellent narration. I recommend it if you like your stories darker.

A dark dystopian tale

Very dark, and very weird. Stick with it though and it'll prove itself worth the effort. The story starts well, but some scenes are handled in a very long drawn-out fashion, and I must admit to losing concentration about halfway through. Then there's a big event and you think surely the whole story is now over. How is the author going to handle the final third of the story? Keep on listening and you'll be rewarded; as the story plays out you start to feel yourself being dragged in and it all becomes not only clear, but compelling.

The narrator holds the whole book together well.

An excellent dark tale following a wandering man looking to understand both his past and future. I recieved a review copy of this book and was not disappointed. It is not a post apocalyptic book, but takes you through a world rapidly descending into cold chaos. The true strength of the book is in the ending which perfectly suits the tone of the book.

A dark and chilling tale

Really not what I expected when I started and not my normal type of audio book. If you a looking for a book that you can't see where it is going until the end take look at this one.
Sadly I now need to find an new audio book, will be hard to follow this one.
