Story
Nate Overbay, a former soldier suffering from PTSD and ALS, goes to an 11th-floor bank and climbs out the bathroom window onto the ledge, ready to end it all. But as he’s steeling himself to jump, a crew of gunmen bursts into the bank and begins viciously shooting employees and customers. With nothing to lose, Nate climbs back inside, confronts the robbers, and with his military training, starts taking them out, one by one. The last man standing leaves Nate with a cryptic warning: “He will make you pay in ways you can’t imagine.” Soon enough, Nate learns what this means.

Publisher's summary
After a less than successful stint as the Governor's security detail, the volatile, alcoholic Texas Ranger Jay McCutcheon wants nothing more than to get home to his wife and baby and save his marriage. He thinks the only thing standing between him and his family is five hundred rain-soaked miles of dark pavement. But he's dead wrong.
Isandro Dianira has just broken out of prison. He's been possessed by an evil voice that has spoken to him since childhood. With his gang-banger thugs, he leaves a bloody trail on his way to Mexico. Before leaving the country, he needs to kill McCutcheon, the pig that put him in the pen.
As the two men unknowingly race toward each other, a powerful rainstorm is heading westward, and along with it, a zombie virus that's causing the dead to rise. Stacy-Jo, a street-tough teenage girl from New York is about to get in some serious trouble, when she meets McCutcheon, who winds up saving her hide from a nasty situation.
Together, they hit the road and wind up at a roadside diner, where brutal violence will unfold and the undead will feed.

Story
Hit me. Kick me. Hurt me. Hate me. There’s nothing that the students of Raleigh High can do to Silver Parisi anymore. Over the past year, she’s had to endure more pain and suffering than most people are asked to bear in their lifetimes. She’s a pariah, an outcast, a ghost. She’s also never been one to take shit lying down, though...despite what half the football team might say. With only 168 days left of the school year, it won’t be long until graduation, and Silver’s planning on skipping town and leaving Raleigh firmly in her rearview mirror. Until he comes along....

This “omnimetal” has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source…and a weapon. John Frontier returns for his sister’s wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government.

Action packed road trip with zombies!
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, simply because I enjoyed the book. The Book wasn't too long a little over 5 hours and listened to it in a few sittings.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I wouldn't have changed anything. It was perfectly enjoyable as it was.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
I was a little put off initially by Doug Miller's voice but I must say that it grew on me as the story progressed, he aslo did very well and distinguishing between character voices.
Did Heaven, Hell, or Houston inspire you to do anything?
I did look to see what else Thom Erb wrote...
Any additional comments?
This was a very good book from an author unknown to me. It was fast paced and brutal and not for the squimish. An entertaining story and good characters overall. Very enjoyable, recommended.
I received this book for free in return to give an honest and fair review.

Hell of a ride!
If you could sum up Heaven, Hell, or Houston in three words, what would they be?
Gritty, gruesome, and gory
Who was your favorite character and why?
Texas Ranger Jay McCutcheon oozes old school cowboy in an a 1980s world. He is that 1980s action hero, Clint Eastwood meets Bruce Willis having the worst day ever. A good man with some bad habits who can't stop getting in his own way.
What does Doug Miller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Doug Miller had the gravelly voice that was perfect for the lead character Jay McCutcheon and delivered the vile Isandro Dianira's lines with villainous grace. He handled the smaller characters deftly, although I did feel he struggled a little finding the voice for street tough teen Stacy-Jo, but nothing that impeded my enjoyment of the story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I ran through a few extreme emotions with this book.
Erb's villains are harsh, bad men who disgusted me and made me angry and you feel McCutcheon's inner struggle to be the man he wants to be while fighting to save what he loves...
Any additional comments?
Thom Erb can turn a phrase, reminiscent of Stephen King's deft descriptions and quality characterizations. He pulls no punches. It is a beautifully written, but brutal 'no apologies" genre bending cowboy-noir/zombie thriller through a 1980s Texas landscape.
So hang on when the rubber hits the road and keep your gun loaded (you'll need it)!

A Roller Coaster Ride
Would you listen to Heaven, Hell, or Houston again? Why?
I just might. It was full of thrills, guts gore and action and sure to keep one awake and at the edge of one's seat.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The teenage run away girl. She had grit, was a survivor and yet also had loyalty and compassion.
Have you listened to any of Doug Miller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No this is the first performance. I think he did a fantastic job and was the perfect voice for the Texas ranger as well as the villain.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Road to Hell
Any additional comments?
I am not usually into zombie books or movies, however I really liked this book. It is gruesome. The bad guy is even a worst monster than the zombies who can't really help them selves.
The good guy is a classic tragic flawed hero. He has good intentions and messes up. For example when he lost it with a jerk who was in position to fire him. This jerk was so vile and obnoxious that a saint would of gone off on him.
If you want a book to keep you on the edge of your seat and gore and violence doesn't get to you, then give this book a go. It will not bore you!!

Vivid imagery, Erb paints a picture with his words
WARNING: Explicit violence and rape of women and young girls as well as foul language.
Some people have all the luck and then there are guys like the volatile, alcoholic Texas Ranger, Jay McCutcheon. From a long line of Texas Rangers and alcoholics, McCutcheon just wants to dump the stupid drunk perverted Governor’s security detail and get home to his wife and baby girl. A year of living apart, McCutcheon wants to save his marriage and change. He was well on his way until the yellow rain fell raising the dead to walk and eat. Oh, then there was Stacy-Jo a runaway who won his heart and whom he protected as much as possible from the uncanny situations she often found herself thrust into.
Toss in the evil Isandro Dianira, who recently escaped from prison and decided to rape and pillage everyone and thing in sight, and McCutcheon’s night just got worse since he’s the one who was responsible for Isandro’s prison term. Isandro was the leader of a gang and one who had a special friend living in his head who told him to do “things.” Such as slicing animals and … well torturing and murdering anything that has a pulse since he was old enough to walk!
If one can get past the violence, it is an authentically written book with the dialect, words and everything written in a very realistic manner. Thom Erb has written an excellent book (violence aside) that captures what everyone fears but doesn’t realize – who is the person entering the convenience store? What are they likely to do? What sets them off?
Vivid imagery, Erb paints a picture with his words. Listeners can see the tired, angry Texas Ranger vividly as well as the evil Isandro. Zombies do make an appearance but it is the evil Isandro and McCutcheon that are the center of the drama. A strong plot and well developed characters.
Doug Miller did an excellent Texas Ranger voice for McCutcheon, he was a little weak for Stacy-Jo’s New York accent but overall, he did an excellent job. Not only could I feel his energy through his reading, I could also feel the oozy slimey gunk flowing from the evil Isandro and the pervert on the bus by his talented reading by tone and voices. His enunciation was perfect.
I enjoyed the book and was sorry to hear it end. I would recommend this book to adults given some of the content.
There were no issues with the production of this audiobook.

the worst road trip EVER
Heaven, Hell, or Houston (Unabridged)
________________________________________
Author: Thom Erb
Narrator:
Doug Miller
Provider:
Third Bay Studios
After a less than successful stint as the Governor's security detail, the volatile, alcoholic Texas Ranger Jay McCutcheon wants nothing more than to get home to his wife and baby and save his marriage. He thinks the only thing standing between him and his family is five hundred rain-soaked miles of dark pavement. But he's dead wrong. Isandro Dianira has just broken out of prison. He's been possessed by an evil voice that has spoken to him since childhood. With his gang-banger thugs, he leaves a bloody trail on his way to Mexico. Before leaving the country, he needs to kill McCutcheon, the pig that put him in the pen. As the two men unknowingly race toward each other, a powerful rainstorm is heading westward, and along with it, a zombie virus that's causing the dead to rise. Stacy-Jo, a street-tough teenage girl from New York is about to get in some serious trouble, when she meets McCutcheon, who winds up saving her hide from a nasty situation. Together, they hit the road and wind up at a roadside diner, where brutal violence will unfold and the undead will feed.
I don’t usually read Zombie books, as I consider them to be nothing more than barely animated mindless corpses who shuffle around, rotting, and do nothing but eat. However, the author gave his zombies something that made them more unique and interesting, so I was willing to set aside my dislike of the …um …things for the sake of the story.
The truly excellence in this book, though, lies in the characters. The main character is masterfully drawn, and about as real as a character in a book can get. I know I’ve “connected” with a character when I find myself wanting to alternately hug him and bang his head against the wall for being just …obtuse, and acting stupid. I spent the entire book on that particular swing …but in the end, I just wanted to hug him. The other main characters are nicely drawn too, even the convict and his crew. I admit to finding the convict’s psychopathy a bit trite, as it has been somewhat overused, but it worked, at least most of the time. While I could *NOT* empathize with him, I could understand him somewhat, and wonder what he might have been without the condition from which he suffered. The other significant characters were believable, often charming, and sympathetic, and I enjoyed reading about them and routing for them …unsuccessfully in many cases.
The narrator was excellent, and very nearly superb. Not only was his phrasing and shaping perfect, but his Texan was spot on …and he understood that people from Texas don’t talk as fast as say, people from NYC …so he got the drawl just right, too, which isn’t all that usual in professional narrators. His Hispanics weren’t cartoon character Mexicans, either, and he obviously new, or spent time learning, how to pronounce Spanish words, because he did so naturally and easily.
Though not my normal reading fare, this was a good book, and well written, so I give it 4 out of 5 stars, and the narrator a full 5 stars.

When a narrator destroys my book!
Unbiased review is hard when you hate a narrator. It is really hard when get something for free and then are going to be so hard against someone like i am going to be now. Doug Miller is awful. Not only is he awful, he is monotone, boring and sleep making. I would NEVER, ever, in a million years listen to a book he reads again. He is so bad that i begin talking about the narrator, and i have never done that before. Maybe it is Doug Miller fault, but me, but doubt it is me.
Now the book is not bad at all. Heaven, Hell, or Houston is a fun book. So i feel bad for Thom Erb, i would love to read this book, but this is a "Audible" review, so the "sound" that comes out has to be judged as it is. Thom Erb is a good storyteller, not only that i like his style of telling a story. Heaven, Hell, or Houston on its own would sure get a overall rating of 4 out of 5. To bad Doug Miller destroys this for me, but he does!

An action-packed thrill ride. A 5 star audiobook.
HEAVEN, HELL, OR HOUSTON
Author: Thom Erb
Type of Book: Audiobook - Unabridged
Narrator: Doug Miller
Length: 5 hours, 56 minutes
Genre: Thriller, Horror, Zombie Fiction
Release Date: June 8, 2015
Publisher: Third Bay Studios
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
* I received this audiobook for free from AudioBookBlast in exchange for an honest review.
This audiobook is set in the late 1980s.
The 1980s may not seem like it was all that long ago, but it was a completely different world back then. Cell phones were only owned by the rich and famous. Terrorism was almost unheard of. The World Trade Center still stood tall and proud in New York City. Prince's music was constantly played on the radio. There are many more differences between then and now, but I cannot list them all.
A notorious cop-killer named Isandro Dianira escapes from an Oklahoma State Prison with the help of his twin brother after spending only nine years behind bars. He has a burning hatred for Texas Ranger J. McCutcheon who he holds responsible for his jail sentence.
A Texas Ranger with an anger problem is getting married to the love of his life who also happens to be the mother of his beloved daughter. When the drunken jerk who is the Governor of Texas makes lewd comments about his fiancé, J. McCutcheon punches him in his leering face minutes before their plane lands. If he could have held his temper in check just a bit longer, he may not have had the worry of losing his job added to his growing list of concerns. All he wants to do is get home to his fiancé and baby and try to save his relationship.
Driving home should only take a few hours but a storm of epic proportions has been unleashed on Texas and he decides to stop for food and to phone home. (Remember, there are no cell phones, so he needs to call from a pay-phone.).
At the Diner he "rescues" a teenage girl from a bunch of bikers who want to use her for who-knows-what. Stacy-Jo is her name and she is not as helpless as she seems. In fact, she carries a big knife and is not afraid to use it.
Isandro Dianira has heard an evil voice in his head ever since he was a small child. After escaping the prison he and other members of his gang decide to head towards Mexico. On the way they rape and murder anyone they come across.
As the two men unknowingly race toward each other, a powerful rainstorm is heading westward, and along with it, a zombie virus that’s causing the dead to rise.
This audiobook is not for the faint of heart. There is violence - and lots of it. There are forced sexual scenes that make this audiobook completely inappropriate for anyone under the age of eighteen.
Even though there are zombies in this book, they are almost inconsequential to the story. This story is more about J. McCutcheon and Isandro Dianira.
McCutcheon may be a violent alcoholic, but you still can't help rooting for him. His violent streak only comes out when he is defending someone, protecting someone's honor or if someone disrespects his family. He knows he is a screw-up. He tries to be good, but he always seems to screw something up. He doesn't care about himself, all he cares about is wife and child, and maybe his job.
Narrator Doug Miller has the ability to change his accent at will. He switches with apparent effortlessness from a Texas drawl to a Mexican accent. When portraying the voice of criminal and evil-thug Isandro Dianira he sounds exactly how you would expect a remorseless, soulless killer to sound. I have to give this narrator a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
In fact, this audiobook is so well done and so packed full of action that I have to rate the audiobook as 5 out of 5 stars as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Fast and Brutal ride
Any additional comments?
Man this was a crazy messed up ride. Pretty much nonstop violence and action amid a backdrop of the zombie apocalypse. I thought there was going to be a lot more of the zombie thing going on here, but it is really a classic revenge horror/noir story and the zombies are secondary.The audio narration was very good and outside of a few times I thought of Tom Bodett the Motel 6 “We’ll leave the light on for you” guy, he did a great job. Fast and brutal. I am looking forward to see where the story goes next. I have a feeling there may be more flesh eating crazies on the horizon. *I was given an audiobook copy of this title from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review and this is it.
