About this listen
A large chunk of the world's population was wiped out in the fires of a meteor shower that pummeled the surface. As the world cooled: Ice, famine, and disease took another portion. Now all that roams the planet are the survivors; the ones with the skill, grit, and intelligence to make it another day. On the frozen land, that was once known as England, battles are fought everyday between man and beast. To former mercenary Marcus Rowan, there is no distinction between the two. His team's survival is due to their ability to prepare and handle the worst man, and nature, can throw at them. However, when they arrive in London, Rowan and his team soon discover that they will not only encounter what survived the old world, but also what was born in the new world. Something more dangerous than anything they could have anticipated.

Story
Zombies are real. And we made them. Are you prepared for the zombie apocalypse? The Smith family is, with the help of a few marines. When an airborne "zombie" plague is released, bringing civilization to a grinding halt, the Smith family, Steven, Stacey, Sophia, and Faith, take to the Atlantic to avoid the chaos. The plan is to find a safe haven from the anarchy of infected humanity. What they discover, instead, is a sea composed of the tears of survivors and a passion for bringing hope.

The United Nations of Earth sent out the Forerunner ships to explore and colonize the four most promising star systems within 50 light-years of Earth. Forerunner One left Earth under the command of Captain Clayton Cross, heading for Trappist-1. After a ninety year journey to reach it, the crew encountered not only a habitable world, but alien life already inhabiting it, and dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The revelation of who these aliens are and what they want proves more terrifying than promising, and Captain Cross is forced to make tough decisions that will affect not only his crew, but the fate of the entire human race.
