About this listen

In a world teetering on the brink of collapse, a group of survivors learns the cost of survival - and the value of fighting for something even after losing everything.

A mysterious virus suddenly strikes down millions. Three days later, its victims awake with a single purpose: spread the Infection. As the world lurches toward the apocalypse, some of the infected continue to change, transforming into horrific monsters.

In one American city, a small group struggles to survive. Sarge, a tank commander hardened by years of fighting in Afghanistan. Wendy, a cop still fighting for law and order in a lawless land. Ethan, a teacher searching for his lost family. Todd, a high school student who sees second chances in the end of the world. Paul, a minister who wonders why God has forsaken his children. And Anne, their mysterious leader, who holds an almost fanatical hatred for the infected.

Together, they fight their way to a massive refugee camp where thousands have made a stand. There, what's left of the government will ask them to accept a mission that will determine the survival of them all - a dangerous journey back onto the open road, and into the very heart of Infection.

Infection Screams

DiLouie is one of my favorite, go to, authors. This is the book that gets it started. Great writing, scary story, interesting characters and an overall entertaining romp through zombie world. The apocalypse is a dark landscape that is not only populated with the undead but other, more Lovecraftian, creatures that seem to have broken through Euclidian space to torment and bedevil what remains of humanity. Its an exciting upgrade to the typical zompoc tale.

My only complaint here is with the Audible switcheroo that made me think this was a new release. As it began, I realized I had already listened to this story in a previous (2011) Audible version voiced by Peter Ganim. That version has been pulled and replaced by a new version (2022) with Garrett Brown at the mic. Both narrators do a good job with the work. In the updated iterations the books also come with new covers. The previous (Ganim) version did not include the third book which is now available (featuring Brown) on Audible. So, tip of the hat to DiLouie, who got me to buy new copies of "Infection" and "Killing Floor" (please invest those bonus royalties into writing more books)- and I appreciate finally being able to get the third book (Final Cut) on Audible.

If you are a fan of zombie fiction, this series is worth a read/listen.

Mostly The Usual

Nothing different from any other standard zombie tale except one category. They introduce monsters, giant worms, giant heads with tiny legs, deformed monkey things, etc…. This didn’t make it better, it made it worse.
