World Fantasy Award-winning, best-selling author Robert McCammon makes a triumphant return to the epic horror and apocalyptic tone reminiscent of his books Swan Song and Stinger in this gripping new novel, The Border, a saga of an Earth devastated by a war between two marauding alien civilizations.
But it is not just the living ships of the monstrous Gorgons or the motion-blurred shock troops of the armored Cyphers that endanger the holdouts in the human bastion of Panther Ridge. The world itself has turned against the handful of survivors, as one by one they succumb to despair and suicide or, even worse, are transformed by otherworldly pollution into hideous Gray Men, cannibalistic mutants driven by insatiable hunger. Into these desperate circumstances comes an amnesiac teenaged boy who names himself Ethan - a boy who must overcome mistrust and suspicion to master unknowable powers that may prove to be the last hope for humanity's salvation. Those same powers make Ethan a threat to the warring aliens, long used to fearing only each other, and thrust him and his comrades into ever more perilous circumstances.
A major new novel from the unparalleled imagination of Robert McCammon, this dark epic of survival will both thrill listeners and make them fall in love with his work all over again.

What did you love best about The Border?
If I told you this book had aliens, zombies and psychic powers all rolled into an end-of-world theme, you'd probably run screaming from this book. I almost did. But this author actually made all this WORK! Not just work - but its a great story!Who was your favorite character and why?
All the characters were VERY well developed and its hard to pick a favorite. Ethan, the main character is the obvious choice. But event he more minor characters - JD, Hannah, Nicki - are all great. The author didn't make the mistake of making the good guys perfect. They are flawed and human.Have you listened to any of Fred Berman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Fred Berman is one of my absolute favorite narrators!Any additional comments?

As others have said, there's very little character development, zero humor (even apocalyptic stories can have some humor), and the plot is just... dull. The narrator is great, but listening to "Dave's" constant angry rants really gets on my nerves. And as a woman, I hate that the Panther Ridge leader, a woman (yay), completely loses it and Dave takes over cuz, you know, he's a macho man. Grrrr.
Many times I thought to stop listening because I'd lost interest and didn't care about the characters... but I kept hoping it would get better... then I was too far along not to find out the outcome. I've got a little bit more to go, but I'm not optimistic that the end will have been worth it.
Surprisingly Disappointing

Narration was mostly on par with upper tier audible works but at one point, the guy pronounced 'deluge' as 'duh-looj'. Couldn't stop thinking about it; totally brought me out of story mode.
Deus ex prior works
