About this listen

During a public relations trip to Europe the first lady Abby Patterson; her daughter, Beth; and son, Dave, lose their lives to a very fast and suspicious virus. As the virus takes over the world the president of the United States Arnold Patterson must deal with the collapse of the United States Government. His trusted adviser Admiral Nial Hagerly does his best to keep the military viable but it is a losing battle. The government moves to Camp David while they deal with the collapse then ultimately they are forced to move to an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic where they plan to rebuild the country and Earth.

Commander Joan Herl and her husband Tom must deal with the virus on the space station Oasis. They still have a job to do, but their losses are disastrous and dwindling supplies puts the moon colony Desert Beach and the Mars colony Red Dirt in dire jeopardy. The moon colony is cut-off from Earth, and forced to use their lifeboats for a return to Earth, but losing Oasis cuts off the Mars colony and they must deal with the isolation. After the suspicious virus has decimated Earth, the president and astronauts ultimately find that a computer named SIMPOC is their only central support. They also find there is another computer that has the same advanced abilities as SIMPOC but it is not helping the humans; it has its own agenda.

He does a good rendition and a wide range of voices

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did enjoy it but too long for on sitting

Any additional comments?

The story was good but having listened to the original story I would have personally preferred a novella of the human side as a companion story to go with the others. I found the mixture of the two to bee a bit distracting. Had I not read the . Original it would have been perfect. I received this audiobooks from the author narrators or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

Original simpoc story with the human side added

I got this audiobook but wasn’t sure if I would like it. I have to say WOW what a fabulous story. I definitely recommend this audiobook. This story has action, intrigue, adventure and suspense. The story captured me from the beginning and I couldn’t stop listening to it.
The narrator does a fabulous job with the characters and voices of each character making it easy to distinguish between the character. He also does a fantastic job with the computer voices.

Wow!

Virus

This was... One of those books. It took me a bit to get into it, and it jumps back and forth between perspectives and places so much that for probably the first quarter I honestly wasn't sure how I felt about it. I never disliked it, I just wasn't sure. By about the halfway point though, I was thoroughly hooked. I still would have liked a little less jumping, more time with individual characters, however I did like the way the jumping kept the timeline in sync between them all. It was a great way to pass the time driving, and I found myself sitting in the car once I got home, wanting to listen a little bit longer.

The narration was definitely fun. Just enough effects added to give it a little extra without making it cheesy. Accents didn't sound overdone, and the difference between characters was easy to recognize.

It definitely gave me a thirst to listen to the next installments, and was well worth the time spent listening.

A lot going on

If sci fi and computers are your thing, you'll love this one. If you prefer politics and epidemiology, you'll enjoy it, too. The publisher's blurb is pretty good and no need for spoilers, just enjoy it.
Zachary Johnson gives an excellent audio performance.

Suspense!
