About this listen

Graduating was tough, but the 30-year reunion will be deadly.

A group of estranged friends, now in their forties, reunite in Gerlach, Nevada, for their 30-year high school reunion at the time of the annual Burning Man Festival.

They soon find themselves at the heart of a viral apocalypse and are forced to rely on the very people they were at odds with to survive.

Another Amazing One Novel Story!!!


I love these 1novel only stories because they seem to get more to detail characters has better build up cuz he only has one book to do it in and I think it's just a lot better than the books with multiple books in a series. a one book series doesn't give you a chance to get bored with the series some books can just go on and on and on. But when it's only one book it really keeps you excited all the way to the end. you're hanging on the edge of your seat holding your breath all the way to the very last word.I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. If you like books with a lot of action. and a lot of amazing funny lines it's funny characters with great storylines if you like a great book that doesn't have too many curse words and it's a good book I say for teenagers as well it doesn't get too graphic and it's not very inappropriate the language is kept to a minimum and there's not very many gory graphic details. I'm a person that doesn't like too many graphic gory details. on this book is just perfect doesn't have too much of anything it's got just enough of everything you would enjoy, in a multiple book series but all in 1 book. Good Job, Jack Hunt you do it again!!!!! Another Masterpiece!!

DISTINCT BUT NOT PRETENTIOUS....LIKE THIS HEADLINE

CRAZED, OUT OF NOWHERE, WTF JUST HAPPENED KIND OF APOCALYPTIC BOOK - ZOMBIES FOR US GEN-XERS IN MID 40'S TO ENJOY.
LIKED: STORY, PERFORMER, EFFICIENT WRITING.
DISLIKED: TOO SHORT, HARD TO FOLLOW WHO WAS WHO (ARE THEY REALLY NPC'S?)
MIXED: MORE GENERATIONAL REFERENCES FOR THE NOSTALGIA ANGLE WOULD BE NICE

First episode

Chaos. Confusion. Misunderstanding. I guess the book may be a pretty good emulation of an apocalypse... but it confused me a bit. This is definitely a start to a series, with many plot lines started and left wide open, lots of characters introduced but without any growth or change. It’s an interesting take on zombies... but not interesting enough for me to get into the rest of the series. (But zombies aren’t my genre.)

Great story, where is book 2?

I enjoyed this one. It definitely left itself open for a second book.
I loved how everything starts in the past and then wraps up its connection to the rest of the story.
The characters seem real and you can understand their lies to each other.
Insects in the desert…. Dancing, drugged up kids enjoying a festival…. Sounds like trouble to me!
Miles Meili did a great job with narration.

Slow start, but worth it

This was the first book I’ve read by Jack Hunt, but it won’t be the last. The book was a little slow to get going, but once it did, I couldn’t stop listening. I believe it’s meant to be the first book in a new series, so I can’t wait to see where the author takes it — but it also works well as a stand-alone.

The narrator did a superb job, picking up different dialects and intonations for the various characters, making it easy to recognize the back-and-forth banter in a conversation.

My only complaint is that the author used the terms “Marine” and “soldier” interchangeably. We are not the same.

Not the class reunion you planned

This was a good book. Although it started slow, it ended with a bang. This is the first book in a series. The next one looks like it is going to be a trip across the United States. This one started out as safe as a class reunion could. But throw in some crazy burners, and watch out. I would definitely read this one and seek the one to come.

Very good story in the apocalyptic event category

I have become a fan of the apocalyptic / post apocalyptic genre.
This was a great entry into the genre, with a fun twist and many references.
good character development in a short time. I'm hoping for more books in the series.
performance was also very well done.

Class Reunion--With Zombies!

Medical entomologist Miles hasn't been back to his small hometown of Gerlach, NV in 30 years. He's set to attend his high school reunion, occurring at the same time as the annual Burning Man Festival, swelling the population to tens of thousands. While at the reunion, sick and violently crazed Burning Man attendees swarm the town and create chaos.

I like Jack Hunt's unique take on the traditional viral zombie outbreak. I especially like that the characters, while trying to survive the murderous festival-goers, are also figuring out the cause of the outbreak and searching for a way to stop it. I'll say here that I don't see any way that this book is a standalone novel. There are too many dangling plot threads left at the end. The reader needs Hunt to provide at least one more book to tie them up.

With the setting of a class reunion, Jack Hunt writes a diverse collection of characters. When the Burner-zombies come to town the reader is treated to an interesting look at how different people react to the situation. The plot starts slowly, introducing Miles and his fellow reunionees, but once the action begins, it continues at a nail-bitingly fast pace to the end. I thoroughly enjoy Hunt's storytelling and look forward to seeing more of this breakneck zombie thiller.

I can't speak of Miles Meili's narration highly enough. I love everything I've listened to him perform. This book is no exception. His reading style perfectly suits the tone of Jack Hunt's writing.

Highly recommended.

I Liked It

I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of Class of 1989 - A Post Viral Apocalyptic Story by Jack Hunt and narrated by Miles Meili. This story is a different take on what causes the EOTWAWKI. I found it highly entertaining. Miles did an excellent job narrating the story and did a great job with different voices for the characters. The story has a wide variety of characters that are well developed. Actions, reactions and behaviors were realistic. I liked it and was entertained by it.

Class of 89

This was REALLY good! While at a 30 year high school reunion,things outside start to get weird.That is saying something for the area since Burning Man is a local event.People rush in claiming there were dead bugs where it all started.Where is a Viral Etomologist when you need one?! Miles Meili was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'
