It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Summary
When two worlds collide…
Jack Walker and Michael Talbot come from two worlds; the same, yet different. They both find themselves transported into an alien one, where things aren’t as they seem. While it appears similar to the ones they come from, there are some terrifying differences. Is it a dream? Or has reality been somehow warped?
Jack comes from a world filled with nocturnal creatures that were once human, but now seek to destroy the last vestiges of humanity. Mike, living under a constant threat from hordes of the undead, arrives with a companion, John the Tripper. Ripped away from their family members and thrown into the unknown, they find that the nightmares from their worlds have preceded them. Survival becomes moment to moment as they encounter old dangers, and new.
Each wants nothing more than to be reunited with their loved ones. With dangers lurking around every corner, they seek to unravel the mystery that brought them. It may be a long road ahead, but they begin by taking the first step, hoping the next one will be the one that takes them home.

Better Than I was expecting
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Shrouded World - Whistlers?
Tripp food baby uugghhh.....
Have you listened to any of Sean Runnette’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is as good as others, he caries the story well
Any additional comments?
I love Mark Tufo books but never got John O'Brien books due to terrible narration but i am told they have been re-recorded now so will give them a go now.
Was not sure the book would make sence as i never know Jack's character but it was pretty simple to work out what he was about and what he brought to the book so that fear was put to bed. Overall i enjoyed this book very much. Having two main characters working together also works with the way it is written no match rubbish just two Alphas working together to survive and Tripp there to aid the humour :)
For me 5 star all the way, the more the book was going on the more i was into it. Done all Mark Tufo books at this stage so off to download some of John's

A Fantastic New World
What made the experience of listening to Whistlers the most enjoyable?
The fantastic writing and gripping storyline. An amazing addition to the Talbot multiverse.
What other book might you compare Whistlers to, and why?
I don't think there is another book that can compare. It's brilliant and unique. The two styles of writing compliment each other so well.
Which character – as performed by Sean Runnette – was your favourite?
Trip, of course. Had me laughing out loud and getting some funny looks from people as I went about my daily life listening to it.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed at the exchanges between the characters. And bit away all of my nails at the terrifying situations in-between!
Any additional comments?
Intriguing, frightening and hillarious. Tufo just keeps delivering with every book and new reality. i hope he NEVER stops writing.
I also enjoyed John O'Brien and will be adding his works to my wish list.

Just Ok
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I only purchased this book because of the previous series. This seemed unable to keep my attention, it droned on with a lack of excitement and too many drawn out, overly descriptive scenes. Sean Runnette did a nice job in the previous Tufo books, but when JACK is read, it almost brings on nap time. I gave this the 3 stars because of the loyalty to previous titles and, because it is a Zombie book...

Fun but lacks direction
The two best characters from the Zombie Fallout series are combined with a character from the New World series and each bring the problems from their respective worlds. The combination makes for non-stop action. Add in a few laughs and a new foe and you’ve got yourself a fun book. My only complaint is that the book doesn’t really go anywhere. We don’t meet the Whistlers until the very and end the plot is really just Jack, Trip and Mike surviving until they can meet. I’m sure taken as a whole the series will be very good, but as a stand-alone book it leave me wanting a bit.
Sean Runnette does an excellent job as always.

Tufo was great, O'Brien was just ok.
What did you like best about A Shrouded World - Whistlers? What did you like least?
Tufo parts were very well done, however O'Brien was alittle one dimensional and the character has no depth.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Made it all just a Tufo book.
What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?
Sean rocks. He really brings Tufo Characters to life. O'Briens characters theres not too much hope for. Hi I'm a guy with no depth or substance with a gun...
Do you think A Shrouded World - Whistlers needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Maybe the Tufo Characters can, but killing off O'Briens wouldn't be a bad thing.
Any additional comments?
All in all, it was in total an ok book.

A zombie apocalypse novel, it’s different
A Shrouded World – Whistlers follows the survival story of Jack Walker and Michael Talbot (with his companion John the Tripper) as they navigate a new zombie apocalypse world, different from each of their own. Trapped in this new world they have to find a way to stay alive as unique types of zombie threaten them.
A zombie apocalypse novel, it’s different from what little I have seen before. Most stories that I’ve read or seen involved one type of zombie creature. However, in this novel, there are multiple unique zombie types with different strengths and weaknesses. The plot itself was pretty simple in the sense that the characters are trying to survive different dangers, but they don’t actually move much distance in the world. And so the story is dependent on the characters’ personalities. Fortunately, all three were well defined and unique, which made their interactions fun to experience. Jack and Michael are military men, and John is a perpetually high hippie. John is clearly the comic relief in the novel, but there are hints to his importance that may come to light in future novels. However, the dependence on one or two characters perspectives in a novel involving three human characters, made my interest lag sometimes. While the inner monologues were often good, I think more dialogue could have made it more dynamic. It’s clear that this is a first novel of many. While the book comes to an end, it’s more like coming to an end of a section of to a novel rather than an entire novel. It’s clear that there is more to come and at the end of the novel, the hanging threads are laid out clearly.
This novel is told from two different points of view, Michael and Jack. One aspect of the novel, which takes a little getting used to, is that the voices of Jack Walker and Michael are different tenses. It’s unusual and doesn’t necessarily distract, but it’s noticeable. It’s an interesting complement to the confused and isolated emotions that the characters are feeling in a new, but still somewhat familiar world.
The narration was nuanced and wonderful. The characters were easily distinguished from one another through the tone of the narrator and that made the novel easy to follow and experience. This was especially great when there are multiple points of view. The voices ascribed to the different characters were also fitting to the individual styles of speech.
This isn’t a genre that I normally choose to read and I enjoyed the novel. However, I think it could’ve been improved with more characters. Female perspectives or characters would have made it more diverse and perhaps a little more dynamic.

entertaining collaboration!
Any additional comments?
from mike's prospective, the story opens as he and trip are fleeing from trip's house in a van. mike and trip are on their way to ron's house in maine to head off eliza when mike swerves hard to miss a propane truck. in a flash, they find themselves walking down a desolate, wooded highway, jammed with the world's largest exodus of cars.
from jack walker's prospective, he's eating with his team when he notices his periphery close in, and in a flash, he finds himself standing on the same desolate highway mike and trip are on.
the story is told from both mike's and jack's perspectives, with each chapter flipping back and forth between the two. both mike and jack notice something is off, and their first experiences are with the other's nightmare. mike and trip discover a new type of threat, the nightrunners from jack's world, and jack runs into a hoard of zombies.
the pacing of the story is really good. there's a lot of action with downtime for the characters to reflect on their situation. it's exciting when jack and mike and trip eventually meet up. their meeting is timed well and doesn't seem contrived. they are a good match b/c they are similar in a few ways.
trip is definitely a fun and interesting character. he is zany, and his dialogue is funny. at first, i was worried b/c trip is soo out there that i thought his character would be overexposed, and i would tire of his outlandishness. but tufo is a genius in how he uses trip. i truly enjoyed his character in this book. trip shines in this story. i won't spoil anything, but there definitely seems that there's more to trip than meets the eye!
there are interesting implications of having both zombies and nightrunners hunting you, especially when zombie 3.0 shows up- 1.0 being shamblers, and 2.0 being runners.
together, mike and jack try to unveil where they are, how they got there, and possibly who brought them there. by the end of the story, the mystery deepens as they find bodies fused with the land and a new enemy to deal with, the whistlers. i won't spoil what they are, but they are just as horrific as zombies and nightrunners.
sean runnette as always does a fantastic job narrating the 3 characters.
overall, a very entertaining story.
note: i have listened to all of tufo's zombie fallout series, but i haven't listened to mike's other adventures. so, i don't think tufo has overstretched mike's character. i have not listened to the jack walker series, but i might give it a try now even though the reviews have been bad.

I missed something
I had to stop listening to this again and again because I felt like I was missing something. But no, I verified that this is the first book in the series. These characters must have come from elsewhere, they have a history because there is too much happening or too much that has happened that I do not understand for this to be book 1. The other very difficult thing with this listen is that Mike and Jack, sound exactly the same. The only differentiated voice is Trip's. Not a favorite. Might actually return it.

Another great MIke Talbot adventure!!
Would you consider the audio edition of A Shrouded World - Whistlers to be better than the print version?
always is!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Trip as always..he is friggin Nuts and I love him!!!
What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Sean is Mike Talbot, I cant imagine him any other way!!!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
hate this question...moving on!
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this, but found Jack's parts a little drawn out at times...even though he is very similar to Mike...and I cant wait for there next adventure together...i think they are going to be an Awesome team....and I have a sneaky suspicion that they may be related some how....and as Always I love Trip!!!!!!! Great listen!!!

I Don't Think We're in Kansas Any More!
What did you love best about A Shrouded World - Whistlers?
Let's be honest....we'd listen to anything with Sean Runnette reading Mike a Talbot. Anything. But this is good stuff! I love Mike and BT's witty banter, but his sidekick on this adventure is none other than John the Tripper!!! Trip cracks me up!
What other book might you compare A Shrouded World - Whistlers to and why?
All the other Mike a Talbot novels.
What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?
He is Mike Talbot. And his reading of Trip is absolutely perfect.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh!
Any additional comments?
Love anything Mark Tufo wants to share with us featuring Mike and his merry band.

Like the concept but...
I'm a huge follower of the jack walker character. And although I enjoyed the fallout series until i think it was #8 when it just got boring for me, I like the mike talbot character. The issue I have with this book is it literally took forever for anything to happen and then the book concludes. I think putting jack walker and mike talbot together is a great idea for an uber-sci-fi novel. I hope book 2 gets a little more action packed and we learn a lot more about where these guys were transported to. On a note about the narrator. I enjoy Sean Runnette as the voice of mike talbot. But I think bringing in Mark gagliardi for jack's voice would cut down on some confusion of who is actually talking and I'd say I'm just used to his voice as jack walker.

Struggled to Finish it
I had to speed up the reading, very slow start in the begging but picked up at the very end.
