About this listen

As an agent of the Department of Advance Analysis, she's one of a handful of people who knows about the spread of a new virus - one she believes will wipe out mankind. With her bosses in denial, she flies to New York to get her ex-fiancé, Chip, to safety. But he's already been scooped up and quarantined - and so has his adopted daughter. Pursued by her own agency, Ellie will stop at nothing to break Chip out before the virus claims them all.

How it all began

Would you consider the audio edition of Outcome to be better than the print version?

Probably since I don't like to physically read. I am a good listener though.

What did you like best about this story?

It introduces the series since this is book 0.5. I read all but book 5 before listening to this book. (Book 4 has ties to this book.)

Have you listened to any of Ray Chase’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ray Chase is great. I need to check on other books he has narrated.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Enjoy life while you can. Without electricity, quality of life will degrade quickly.

Any additional comments?

I love the series. I am glad I decided to read the series. As I start on the last book, I wish there was another book in the works.

excillent

Very good start of a series. The characters are kept simple, the plot simple, but the telling of the story is where this stories shines.

Sets up the stories nicely

A good short story that sets the scene nicely for breakers (although through half of breakers they don’t make an appearance so I hope we hear what happens to the characters at some point). It is a short story so you don’t get the full picture, but if you liked Stephen King’s “The Stand” I would suggest you pick this up as well.

Mr. Chase does a great job with the narration.

listening to Ray Chase is barely ok

Is there anything you would change about this book?

listening to Ray Chase is like trying to watch your favorite action movie with a Kenny G sound track.

Great prequel.

Perfect story to be the intro into Breakers. Characters were well developed and the book sucked you right into their world.

Couldn’t listen anymore

I didn’t quite make it through chapter 1. The narration was ridiculous. The story was getting an interesting start, and I would have like to continue, but I could stand the thought of listening to Ray Chase for another minute. He was overly dramatic and made the story and character sound stupid. Thank goodness the first book was free.

The End does not justify the Means

Lady Agent feels justify in murdering fellow agent. Wrong. #1 do not become an agent because you have to lie. #2 Murder wrong.

The premise that any conduct acceptable to survive is wrong.

Good prequel

I have the entire series and was happy to listen to the prequel from audible plus
Really liked the story- the narrator was not a good fit - that is being kind!

This is a great series however…

This intro was slow and a bit tedious. Although it does explain the initial introduction of the problem it is not essential to the series.
I really appreciated the authors ability to create characters that exist. It took a while for me to get used to the narrator however there’s a lot going on in this book. I can appreciate the details due to his methodical style.
As I moved into book one through the entire series,.. I equate this narrators voice to some of my favorite characters. He portrays Walt in an endearing manner despite the characters shortcomings. He becomes one of my favorite characters. And don’t even get me started about how witty this author must surely be. There are absolute laugh out loud thought processes and sharp unexpected responses throughout this series. Smart smart smart.
Post apocalyptic… yes! Predictable…not at all!!
A must read. Much Thanks to the author and narrator for creating this fantastic series. It is well grounded and the characters have substance. The narrator is so very pleasing.
