About this listen
Dark clouds gather... A storm is breaking... With the sanctuary built, there is a respite from the nightly night runner assaults. Jack Walker and the group of survivors have bought themselves a little breathing room. Or have they? A peaceful daytime outing turns into yet another nightmare sweeping Robert and Bri up with it. The world has changed. Another danger has emerged. Ferocious packs of night runners still prowl at night and Jack must now locate and rescue his kids. With vengeance on his mind, he heads into the heart of an armed camp. Night runners own the night and encircle the encampment. Jack must thread his way through this ring of fire to bring his kids to safety. Will his actions bring safety or invite more harm? With Night runners behind and armed men in front, Jack's skills are pushed to the limit. Mistakes were made. Payment is coming...

Story
For millennia, they have stared through the invisible force separating their world from ours, and grew hungry. Now, they've found a way through. Darkness from their side swallows our skies, their diseases eat through our human bodies, leaving behind soulless husks... and worse. Only two things can save us: a mysterious power locked in a small chest covered with undecipherable glyphs, and the seven-year-old girl it chose as its protector.

Jack comes from a world filled with nocturnal creatures that were once human, but now seek to destroy the last vestiges of humanity.

The world of man was brought to its knees with the zombie apocalypse. A hundred and fifty years have passed since man clawed and climbed his way back from the brink of extinction. Civilization has rebooted, man has begun to rebuild, creating new communities and society. It is on this fragile new shaky ground that a threat worse than the scourge of the dead has sprung... Once again, one man finds himself once thrust into the forefront of a war he wants nothing to do with and seemingly cannot win.

Would they own it or attempt to cover it up? If a major operation was jeopardized because of the release, would that alter any of the decisions? A potent viral agent, created to destabilize a region for forces to move in and clean up, is accidentally spilled in a metropolis. Those infected serve only to afflict others through any means.

In the spiritual planes, battles between the light and darkness are being fought over souls for their very existence. Assailed on all sides, heaven is left with no choice but to open the seven seals. The horsemen are summoned and ride forth. Conquest, the drums of war, hunger, and death are felt by all. Humanity is left standing on the brink where the slightest tremor will send it plunging into the abyss.

Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

As the first waves of injured bystanders, guardsmen, and rioters arrived at hospitals, it became apparent that a deadly new disease had been unleashed on the population. Whether the virus was naturally occurring or an escaped lab experiment, Cade hadn't a clue and wasn't especially concerned until he learned of its unprecedented virulence, unusual method of transference, and the fact that, according to the news, it brought the newly dead back to life, semi-mindless, and with an insatiable desire to feed on the flesh of the living.

the most action packed book yet
Taken picks up after little bit of time has passed since Sanctuary. Their fortress is now secure, yet far from complete, and the night walkers have seemed to have moved on to easier prey.
As the title of this story suggests, somebody is taken. As it always seems, in true zombie apocalypse style, those you need to be worried the most about are the other human survivors. On a routine patrol Jack’s kids are taken prisoner by a group of unknown survivors and taken to an unknown location. If you have listened to the previous audiobooks in this series, you will know that Jack does not take something like this lightly. The search is on. All other tasks are put on hold until his kids are found. Once the location is revealed Jack and his team storm the premises to attempt a rescue. Then of course the night walkers show up.
The rest of the book is setting us up for the next book, as needs to happen with an epic series like A New World. Other survivors are discovered. There is something very strange going on with Jack. He finds that his hearing, for one, is becoming freakishly good. Being able, at times, to hear a vehicle coming from what seems like miles away. Because of this and a few other things that you will have to listen to know about, his group is becoming concerned for his well being.
Again O’Brien teases us with, a larger part of the narrative than previous, the story told from one of the night walkers point of view. I cannot get enough of this aspect. Zombie like creatures getting smarter, forming attack plans and the like. Making me crave for more and more from this point of view. I really hope we get more of this and I hope that it goes somewhere breathtaking.
Compared the prior books Taken is the most action packed book yet. With a majority dedicated to the rescue of Jack’s kids. All of the planing involved. Dispatching the stupid souls that disrupted their “normal” in the apocalypse. The team got themselves in the position to have to deal with a huge horde of the creatures. Combat scenes delivered with military precision and finesse. There was one scene where Jack was sneaking into the fortress where my heart was beating so fast.
Fans of military zombie apocalypse stories will love this book and the rest of the series.
I will be getting the next in the near future. O’Brien has made me care about Jack, his kids, and the other survivors in his group. I am excited to know this story is going as there are so many possibilities.
With each one of the books in this series I’ve been able to enjoy Mark Gagliardi’s performances more and more. Delivering the story with the bravado you would expect from a military man. His characterizations are getting better, every character is much more distinct than in previous audiobooks in the series. O’Brien picked a good one for this project and, so far, has been smart enough to keep Gagliardi on task throughout the series.

My favorite in the entire series. .
Absolutely one of the best series on audible. Well narrated and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time. You'll laugh out loud often and you feel as if you are right there with the characters. Every detail is explained and described in great detail. . you can imagine everything so clearly. Which is the mark of a good book in my eyes. Thank You John O'Brein for countless great hours of entertainment!

NOW WERE TALKING JOHN! GETS BETTER AND BETTER!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If they were crazy about the Zombfic like me...ABSOLUTELY!!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Taken: A New World, Book 4?
When they found MOM!!!!!!
Have you listened to any of Mark Gagliardi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
In this series only...but he is the reason I stuck with it through book 3...I like him, and now..I am just addicted to Johns words....lol
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Mom...when she found out about he Nicole...I sobbed like a baby!!!
Any additional comments?
I almost quit this series after book 2, but the reviews convinced me to continue...and I am glad I did, because I am now starting book 5....These books get progressively better as they go on..the characters are getting very well developed and fleshed out now, and there is a bit of mystery going on here...so I am super intrigued....In this one, Jacks kids and a member of red team get kidnapped and it is a search and destroy mission to get them back...in the process the kids find their mom, who seemingly has recovered from this crazy night runner virus...and other night runners are coming back into there human thought process also, as if these people are recovering....
They also rescue a bunch of survivors, and start missions to find others...also Lynn's mom and brother finally make it...and that is a big relief for Lynn...they also are going to start searching for the soldiers families in the group, and taking back the city by clearing small areas 1 step at a time...Jack also is now discovering he can almost communicate with these creatures and his senses are heightened....I knew this from the ASW series, but I see how it happened now...he was scratched and it enhanced him...I think I remember him saying that in ASW1....This was the best installment for me so far...and I am on to book 5....This story just keeps getting more and more intriguing....

Time for a second read through.
Clear your schedule. Love the series. From the night runners to the personal aspects of the book. Going for my second listen through. It gets intense some times and I can't put it down.
