About this listen

A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world's last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes an astonishing tapestry of humanity.

Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And, like Shana, there are other 'shepherds' who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.

For on their journey, they will discover an America convulsed with terror and violence, where this apocalyptic epidemic proves less dangerous than the fear of it. As the rest of society collapses all around them and an ultraviolent militia threatens to exterminate them, the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unravelling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.

Original, entertaining and yet not long enough. Also thought provoking and a terrific selection of characters.

Brilliant

Really liked the story, it's sprawling epic with lots of surprises and scarily prescient given recent events, but I wasn't crazy about the narration, especially some of the accents, and to be honest it felt a bit dull.

Great story - didn't love narration.

When I realised this was over thirty hours, I feared I’d made a bad choice, but I found this book and performance so engaging. I listened whenever I could and at no point found myself thinking “Ugh”. The story has pretty much all the big existential terrors, and a pretty big twist at the end that had my mouth literally fall open. It’s a loooooong performance but I found it thoroughly engaging, gripping at points, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I saw this book because I loved Chuck Wndig’s work on the Star Wars Aftermath Trilogy and this has just became my new favourite audiobook the story was well told and narration was well done and got so emotional when it ended.
