Story2.5 out of 5 stars 2
Civil war ravages the country. The economy collapses. A plague spreads like fire, and pollution darkens the sky. This is the toxic world of Robert Ashton. A wasteland of broken dreams, death, tech, and mutants. But he is not alone. He and his partner navigate life underground, where it is safer. Society has buckled, and working as a smuggler, Robert builds a criminal life to keep the two of them fed. But nothing lasts forever, and he is forced to return to the surface when the underground suffers a brutal military raid. What he discovers shocks a man who thinks he cannot be shocked anymore.

This is unlike any post-apocalyptic novel I have ever attempted to listen to. A gay MC with his femine partner...At first I thought he (MC) had a girlfriend, as the narrator uses a feminine voice, but soon realized that it was just a very feminine boyfriend. I tried to listen anyway, but it's just not for me. The classification should be updated so others will know what they are getting. YMMV.

Sinclair Ferguson and Ligonier can always be counted on for exceptionally solid theology. I couldn't recommend this podcast more highly.

The setting is the Georgia wilderness, where the state's most remote white-water river awaits. In the thundering froth of that river, in its echoing stone canyons, four men on a canoe trip discover a freedom and exhilaration beyond compare. And then, in a moment of horror, the adventure turns into a struggle for survival as one man becomes a human hunter who is offered his own harrowing deliverance.

Great Information!
Reviewed: 05-31-22
Wow! This is great information that all leaders should be required to study! Having experienced both sides, as I'm sure most of you have, of following and leading...I've learned mostly from experiencing bad leadership/management. I hope to never lose trust from my team, and to not only retain the best of the best, but that the environment draws the best of the best. Servant leadership is key!

A look back at the beginning of the AIDS pandemic
Reviewed: 05-02-22
I'm enjoying this look back at how the public, government, and doctors reacted to a new pandemic...and see so many parallels to today's COVID pandemic. Having been born after the discover and a baby through many of the developing years, I had only a hint of the story. At many times the details given here are prime example of the total depravity of mankind as evidenced by disgusting behavior not even seen in the animal kingdom...I can see why many on the "outside" (in the early days) wanted nothing to do with helping, but can also see why that would be infuriating from the "inside". Politics and hardened hearts of man lead to a loss of compassion for mankind. I pray that all with this terrible disease would be healed, for the researchers minds and hands to be led to a cure, and mostly that God would use this terrible disease to bring His chosen children to him in repentance through His great grace. May we, one day, look back on this plague as a cured disease in the annals of mankind.

I enjoyed this book and the performances by the artists were exceptional. It was like watching a show in my mind while listening with my Sony xm4 earbuds. Following an impact and subsequent darkness upon the earth, vampires take full reign...the ending eludes to a series that I am looking forward to.

I really enjoyed this listen, the story is really not that far from being fictional and is thought provoking when compared to how dependent our society is on technology, internet, and social media. Just where are we headed...

In the jungles of Uganda, Ebola has mutated into an airborne strain. Now, all it takes is a little nudge, and the virus explodes across the planet. Panic, disbelief, and disinformation leave people unprepared to react. They hoard. They flee. They turn to violence. Austin Cooper is stranded in Africa, at the epicenter of the outbreak. His sister, an NSA analyst, is pulling strings to locate him, while trying to understand what is going on. In Colorado, Austin's parents are fighting to stay alive as millions are infected. And then billions.
