Story4.5 out of 5 stars 457
Recon Marine Conor McCall didn’t expect action during his training op in the icy waters off Norway. But when a bizarre summer fog engulfs his boat, he and his team find themselves in a fight against strange, cruel monsters from the depths of the North Sea. When even their allies are enemies, the Recon Marines must do what they have always done: adapt or die. But with a world of ice and monsters seeking to destroy them, every second is mission-critical.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers - boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out - and no one's ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Not what I was hoping for
This story moves. fast. There are a ton of chapters but the whole thing takes place over just a few hours on one day. Just as the main character starts to reach his purpose, the story ends, to be continued. I like to savor a story and I felt I couldn't do that because the listener is just slammed with event after event and disaster after disaster with not much of a break anywhere to be found. If you like fast paced zombie tales, this is for you.

A GREAT ZOMBIE STORY
What made the experience of listening to The Colony: Genesis the most enjoyable?
I liked how within seconds things were already happening. There was no long delayed build up. Just BOOM, and a total decline of our government and our world as we know it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Colony: Genesis?
When Ken met Dorcas. She is a great character.
What about John Alexander Brancy’s performance did you like?
I really like his voice. He did not over-do the female voices (which I really appreciate)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES!!! I hated to have to stop. I wanted to keep listening to find out what was going to happen next.
Any additional comments?
Anyone who enjoys horror really need to read anything by Michaelbrent Collings. I have now started the second book in The Colony series..Renegades.

I hate Zombie books
My headline should say it all but it doesn't by any means touch the surface! Read it front to back, you will see what I mean! Not just another Zombie book! Excellent, superb, the best Zombie book I have ever read! Go ahead, pick it up and read the first few chapters....then try putting it down. Ha, ha, ha, I warned you!

Gripping, fast, moving
Any additional comments?
Basically, I want an audiobook to sweep me away. The more it engages me, the less I think about the boring drive I'm making, the room I'm cleaning, the makeup I'm putting on. Colony SO delivered. There were no dead spots, no slow introspection. Just bam. End of the world. Then bam. Action and adventure. Then bam. Suspense. I loved it.
The characters are likable and hopeful. Mysterious and secretive and a little weird, certainly, but decent. Sometimes you read post-Apocalpytic fiction, and you think, "Humans are the worst. Why have we not already died en masse like the wretched swarm of cockroaches that we are?" But this book shows humans at their best, or at least at their most decent. I appreciated that. The zombies are freaky-weird (I need to grab the second one and find out wth is going on with this whole uber-bizarre zombie situation), but the humans are still acting like humans, not monsters.
All in all, if you're looking for a quick-paced, high-action, zombie read that won't make you despair of all hope for mankind, this is the one for you. Or even if you don't mind despairing of all hope for mankind and you just want a good zombie read, this is the one for you as well.

Zombies on Angel Dust
Would you consider the audio edition of The Colony: Genesis to be better than the print version?
I don't have the print version, but I do have the ebook. The narration adds another dimension to the story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character, Ken. He's just a regular guy striving to survive in the midst of madness.
What does John Alexander Brancy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
A smooth voice. He reads clearly and adds emotion when necessary.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is a certain scene with certain fingers and a certain decision.

The Colony part 1
If you could sum up The Colony: Genesis in three words, what would they be?
Zombies, exciting, action
Any additional comments?
Wow!! The book starts out with a bang and never let's up. Not your shuffling zombies of old-school. These zombies are fast and there are hints of a collective consciousness starting. And there is the intrepid band of survivors, and everyone of them is a great character so far. This is the first in a series and I must get the rest. Also, the reader is very, very good.

First book I have read/listened to from the Author
First book I have read/listened to from the Author. So I was pleasantly surprised by the story and really enjoyed it.
It always nice to see a twist on the whole zombie thing. Felt more alien based. But again you don’t really know, because the characters don’t know. Also, the whole kill zombies in the head thing was a nice twist.

The best survival horror I have ever read- Zombies
What made the experience of listening to The Colony: Genesis the most enjoyable?
The action. The tense, intense, action. I was raked over the coals, and then back, and now I want the next book.
What did you like best about this story?
I began reading it expecting a typical survival horror book- unintelligent characters, poorly thought out monsters, and a plot that involves more screaming and running around than anything. None of those thoughts where correct, and I am so glad of it. The monsters make sense (to a certain extent- you can only do so much to make zombies that make sense), but these are actually scary, worrysome, I-would-be-scared-as-all-get-out Zombies that actually makes as much sense as any I have ever seen, and they actually got my heart to beating whenever I listened to them (or about them) in the story.
Which character – as performed by John Alexander Brancy – was your favorite?
The non hipster (Aaron). Read the book and find out.
Any additional comments?
I do not read survival horror as a rule. Most of it isn't very well done. This was recommended, and I'm glad I read it.

Not just another zombie story!
What did you love best about The Colony: Genesis?
Ken Strickland walking around in a near constant state of mental fog from concussions. I thought that his disjointed and meandering thoughts really brought the character's personality to life, as well as giving the story some really great humor.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Colony: Genesis?
Some of the thoughts Ken had about students in his class throughout the book.
Which scene was your favorite?
There were actually quite a few of them. I really want to know what's causing all of this! What's up with the bees?! Are other critters involved, as well? I want to know!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed quite a lot.
Any additional comments?
Michaelbrent Collings is turning into one of my favorite authors. I think he has a real talent for bringing his books to life. They are palpable in all respects.

Wow! Great fast paced read
This book starts on fast forward & never slows down! It's like a season of your favorite show with one hell of a cliffhanger! I love the new ideas and take on zombies. Can't wait for him to explore the bug aspect. I also want to know why Christopher is always smiling! Is he secretly going to be a bad guy?
I'm going to buy book 2 immediately!
