Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

It's that his reality...well, it isn't what he thought. And now, he can't even afford to drink because his so-called friend Nicz is cutting into his business, digging up tin, iron, and copper. So Udo forms a new plan: clay. After all, clay jars are used to store everything: meat, herbs, and, his personal favorite, ale.

As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables. My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted.

Summary
A rising talent, Robinson is well known in the community of action/adventure fans and has received amazing quotes in the past from big-name authors like James Rollins, Steve Berry, and Scott Sigler. Xom-B is a riveting zombie novel with a great hook that is also an amazing plot twist, and is poised to bring him to the next level.
Freeman is a genius with an uncommon mixture of memory, intelligence, and creativity. He lives in a worldwide utopia, but it was not always so. There was a time known as the Grind - when Freeman's people lived as slaves to another race referred to simply as "Master". They were property. But a civil rights movement emerged. Change seemed near, but the Masters refused to bend. Instead, they declared war.
And lost.
Now, the freed world is threatened by a virus, spread through bites, sweeping through the population. Those infected change - they are propelled to violence, driven to disperse the virus. Uniquely suited to respond to this new threat, Freeman searches for a cure, but instead finds the source - the Masters, intent on reclaiming the world. Freeman must fight for his life, for his friends and for the truth, which is far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined.

Love it
This is the first book that I have listened to twice in the same week. I have listened to books multiple times before but not right after finishing it. I love this book, It's not just a 'zombie' story it's more, and the twists are just in the right places. I have enjoyed all of Jeremy Robison's books they are always amazing. This one goes above and beyond. I can't decide who is my favourite, luscious or freeman. I do love the conversation between them. The voice actor is spot on with everyone's voices. Highly Recommend

A freshing take on a zombie apocalypse
Extremely enjoyed this book. Its a different take on the zombie apocalypse. Like normal, the narration was amazing! Only thing I didn't like was the main character's voice changed at the end. Now I totally get why his voice changed, but it sounded way too similar to another main character's voice. Other than that, Great story!

Really fresh story, liked a lot.
I did not know what to expect, started off very mysterious and interesting then gave the impression it would be more comedy. But in the end it was very good and had a great idea behind it. It still feels a little childish and naïve but i could listen to it again. Very entertaining.

Just Outstanding
I’m a lover of the zombie thriller but this took it to a whole new and refreshing level. Twists and turns evoking fresh thought but still including and embracing the zombie action core. I am now lost as to what to hear next so it’s probably the Arisen series for the 5th time! Highly recommended and RC Bray doesn’t disappoint, has he ever?

An interesting take on zombies
For the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it might have got 5 stars if I hadn't found myself zoning out during one of the many battle scenes. It is action packed. But there is also good character development and scene setting. I would certainly read/listen to any sequel to this story and would consider other books by the author. The narrator did a good job, but sometimes he sounded as if congested. Not off-putting, just distracting to me. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys zombies and scifi.

What a compelling story.
Of all the ways and means of approaching , contemplating and creating a zombie story, this was not what I was expecting. The mould of the genre has been smashed to smithereens!!! This book is fantastic and rewards the listener with some twists and turns that I had never imagined possible within a zombie story. Then you have the ethical questions..... I took a chance and it paid off in bucket loads. You my enjoy it as well 😊

MUCH better than expected!
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
i have listened to r.c. bray a few times now, and he is becoming one of my favorite narrators. he gives each character their own unique voice. he is easy to listen to, and his narration draws you into the story.
Any additional comments?
robots and zombies!?! WTF...i thought! it's not normally a combination i'd consider even though i like them individually. BUT before you make a funny face and utter a derogatory remark, let me stop you there. this is a good zombie story, AND it is a great robot story.
great blend of characters. i found all of the characters interesting, unique, well drawn out, and needed. each character is an important building block of the world the author creates.
xom-b has all of the hallmarks of a good story, but i can't say too much b/c i don't want too spoil your listening experience.
i can usually predict how a story will unfold so i get excited when i'm surprised by a really good twist. there are breadcrumbs interspersed throughout the story, and what they finally lead to, i can honestly say i didn't see it coming.
overall, a good addition to your zombie library. if you're a fan of the zombie genre, this is a no-brainer- get it! but if you're not really into zombies, but you are into sci-fi, definitely give it a try b/c it's a good sci-fi book with a unique twist, and that twist be zombies! it's more AND better than you think!
NOTE: the story is a little slow in the beginning, but please give it a chance. it is well worth it!
NOTE 2: please nobody give away the twist of the story. you'll definitely earn my ire! thanks in advance!

Even R.C. Bray can't save this one
DNF at almost 50%. I just can't finish it. I can't. It is sooooo boring. It sounded so promising and had so many great reviews that I got the kindle version (on sale) and the discounted accompanying audiobook. The absolutely only positive thing I can say about the book is that the reader of the audio (R.C. Bray) is very good, but even he cannot save this book and make me care even one little bit about what happens to anyone in it. It's a little confusing figuring out who/what everyone is, but where that could have been compelling and intriguing it's just stupid and boring. Almost the whole first half of the book is like one giant chase scene trying to get away from mob after mob of zombies all while the main character, Freeman, a newly "born" (created?) robot?/android?/human?, waxes poetic about the reason for his existence and ponders how he suddenly knows how things work and how he can suddenly "do" all sorts of things. Once he finally meets up with the mysterious council, he ends up being sent on a journey to discover the source of some ground rumblings (which he thinks are zombies living underground). Really? A "new" man on a journey? I'm guessing if I had continued there would have been a lot more contemplation about his existence during this journey of "self-discovery". Somehow what *could* have been very deep and thoughtful and at the same time exciting and mysterious just turns out to be a giant snooze-fest. The sample on Audible (the prologue of the book) was misleadingly interesting. Sadly, it's all just downhill from there.

Zombies + Robots + Dystopia + Sci-Fi = Fun
At first glance the cover looks pretty tame. What could go on with robots, err, I mean androids? Then I looked closer and noticed the subtle bite wounds around the flesh of arm. What could this mean? Robot zombies? That could be entertaining.
Xom-B takes place in the future, a time were people have developed androids to do their bidding. People could get "upgraded" to look prettier, be smarter, see better, etc. All the while their android slave grind away at the thing that make the society what it is. I almost wish that more was told about the grind and how life came to be like this. More was revealed latter, but I can get impatient. All of a sudden people start dieing, everywhere, even in the middle of conversations.
Now I don't want to delve into the plot and characters too much as most of it would spoil your listening experience. I will say this. Robots and zombies mixed in with a truly satisfying science fiction dystopian society make for a great audiobook. I was fully encapsulated within the story and would fight going to sleep to hear just a bit more.
Even though it is slow starting it becomes full of interesting and complex characters that would evolve from seeming weaklings to self confident heroes. Anti-heroes that start off seeming not so bad transform into almost super villains. And enough plot twists and turns that kept me guessing, except for the ones I figured out.
Are you looking for a zombie story that doesn't have the main focus on the zombies? Maybe you want a great science fiction tale that doesn't focus solely on the technologies of the time. You could just be looking for another great dystopian adventure. Guess what, you get all of that with Xom-B. Yes much of it is so familiar that you would swear to reading it elsewhere, but I assure you that you haven't heard it put together like this. I have couple other Robinson audiobooks in my queue and will continue to look for them in the future.

Zombies. Robots. Action.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
Everything.
Any additional comments?
I'm not primarily a science fiction reader but this had elements of the story that I really enjoyed. Jeremy Robinson's writing style drives the story forward and the book gives me wonderful flashbacks to a movie I've seen, without meaning to- and without any distinct, or direct intended imagery (there's nothing in here that tells the reader that he's seen the movie--it's just that feeling, and that imagery that in my head as the story slips forward). I can "see" the movie "9" in the environment that Freeman moves around in and that gives me happy thoughts all around.
I definitely recommend checking this book out. Even if you're not quite sure it's your genre or not, Jeremy Robinson has a way of casting a storytelling spell over you to where you start not to think in 'genres', but in just the story itself. Full of action, adventure, zombies, and adrenaline - I think that you'll enjoy this book as much as I did.
R.C Bray is an excellent narrator and it'll give you 11.5 hours of enjoyment.
Pop the audio on in your car on your way to work--it'll put a smile on your face before your feet hit that well known linoleum.

Fantastic
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book - robots, zombies and great writing what more does a person need from a book? So much so, that as soon at it arrived and I was greeted with the choice of listening or sleep, I chose to listen and I definitely don't regret that decision.
As always, Jeremy Robinson has written excellent characters that you love or/ and hate in equal measure. I thought Xom-B was fantastic, it incorporates lots of thoughts on what it is to be human, with nasty enemies and a few surprises. I'm waiting for the announcement that it's going to be a movie because this is the sort of book that is crying out to be made. We as an audience need it.
R.C.Bray did such a wonderful job with this narration, he really brought the characters to life and sets the scene extremely well. I enjoy his work a lot.

THE WORLD IS NOT THE PLACE I BELIEVED IT TO BE
I AM GOING TO DIE, OF THAT I HAVE NO DOUBT.
Every other chapter the main character thinks he is going to die. This is original, but it is not presented well and it is not worth your credit. It may be considered YA, but that is not an excuse to write boring stuff. I held on for a long time, thinking it would get better, but it got worse. You want Zombies listen to Maberry's 'Patient Zero". You want YA Zombies listen to Maberry's Rot and Ruin series.

I liked it
I thought it was a pretty good story. Well read. i think this would make an excellent movie if done properly, as it would be easy to mess it up too.

Not too Bad
I tried reading the kindle version but couldn’t get into it. I’m not a fan of 1st person and was having trouble with the narrators tone. I was told the book did better as an audible. I was able to get more into the story hearing the main character speak. I’m glad I gave this book a second chance though I don’t think it’s one I’ll revisit.
