About this listen
Every epidemic begins with a relatively small group of people who've been exposed to an illness. The Centers for Disease Control believes that it is imperative to reach the site of an initial outbreak as quickly as possible in order to prevent further spread of the disease. Sometimes that isn't always possible, and events reach a catastrophic tipping point before the government can organize a response.
Origins of the Outbreak follows the chain of infection from one person to another after a university researcher in a small Texas town unwittingly develops a disease that turns its victims into zombies and threatens to destroy the world as we know it.
Told as a series of short stories from the perspective of each victim as they experience their own version of hell while struggling to survive, Origins will leave you gasping in fear.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a scream. In the remote mountains of Northern Alaska, Dr. Riley Middleton and her team of archeologists discover a burial site containing mummified remains dating to the last ice age. None of them notice the warning carved into the entrance or realize that the tomb had been deliberately sealed from the outside until they’ve already released a virus that turns ordinary people into murderous monsters. But there’s something even more terrifying inside...something ancient...something unspeakably evil.

Story
The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

Great look into how a zombie outbreak would spread
Excellent look into the various perspectives of different people at the beginning of an outbreak.
The multiple short stories were great, and seeing characters return as zombies for future stories was hilarious.
Narration was excellent.

An Early Zombie Book
You must like zombies to enjoy the book which I found interesting as it was stories in stories of each character’s exposure to the virus as it starts in Texas. It is very descripted and gory but fun listen. It is an early book from author and highly recommend his Five Roads to Texas series and Washington Dead City series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you!

Not my cup of undead!
Numerous vignettes examining classes and professions of people on how the apocalypse affected individual lives while describing the ultimate spread of the infection. Not one of my favorites from Brian Parker. I prefer more substance in my novels; something I can get into rather than a bunch of short stories. Three.point.five.

Surprising and very good indeed
This book ends up being a collection of short stories that are told from the point of view of the different characters as a killer zombie virus is set set free and spread.
Put like this it may sound boring, but it reality it worked out really well as most of the stories (specially in the beginning) share a comum tread. As with the classic movie genre, there are the sex theme, the nerds, the fun jokes, and a lot more of the usual stereotypes. It still ends up being an original and funny story. The ending is also quite unexpected for this kind of stories.
Zombie stories is not my favourite theme but I do love great stories and this one actually nailed it for me.
The narrator amazing job also helps a lot.
I will recommend for those that look for some different approach to the typical zombie theme stories.

You cant hate this....
This book was given to me at my request and I am providing a voluntary review:
It is impossible to hate this book. There are so many different characters and they are all so different. If you dislike one guy, two pages later, its something else completely. I know that it sounds like it would get confusing, but it doesn't. It all works. I'm a big fan. I am like 80% done with the book so I cant speak to its ending yet, but since I was here, I figured I'd write something. Awesome Book and Amazing narration. I hope to read more from this author.

Unique
I've listened to probably hundreds of zombie books and this one has a unique way of telling the story. You don't get attached to the characters, because it's dozens of short stories. It's told in real time, like 1:00 p.m., 5 minutes is spent on this character and how she becomes infected.....1:05, here's 10 minutes with a new character and how he gets infected......1:15, 15 minutes with another character........10:00, here's 10 minutes with a new character and how she gets infected by character #2 from earlier. At first, I was a little weary of this style, because I couldn't get invested in the characters. Half way through, I loved it! By the end, I had found a new favorite author! Oh, the narrator did a fantastic job also.

Multiple zombie vignettes
This is multiple vignettes from the start of a zombie outbreak from one of the authors of the Five Roads to Texas series. Very enjoyable listen! I loved the multiple points of view from each story. So glad I got to listen to and enjoy this early book of Brian Parker. Narration was also good. I received this for free for an honest review.
