About this listen
As a deadly Ebola outbreak tears through Africa, a new, horrifying strain emerges—one with nightmarish side effects. When containment efforts crumble, the virus spreads like wildfire across the globe, plunging humanity into chaos. But the true horror isn’t just the sickness—it’s what comes after. The dead aren’t staying dead.
In the heart of Charlotte, NC, a small group of survivors is left behind as the city collapses into an undead nightmare. Abandoned by the authorities and surrounded by flesh-hungry hordes, they embark on a desperate journey toward a rumored refugee camp on the outskirts. But as they fight to stay alive, they quickly realize that the walking dead aren’t their only threat—the very forces sworn to protect them have become just as ruthless, just as deadly.
In a world where the rules of civilization have been erased overnight, survival means trusting no one—and fearing everything.

For 30 years, they have avoided the outbreak of walking death that has consumed America's heartland. They have secured a small compound near the ruins of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Isolated from the world, they have remained blissfully unaware of what lies outside in the region known as the Dead Lands. Until now. Led by a military vet who's seen better days, the inexperienced offspring of the original survivors form a small expedition to explore the wastelands around them. Small pockets of humanity hide in the shadows: some scared, some mad, all dangerous. This is the New World.

Great story wack AI Voice.
I can respect the starving artist and using any means of getting your book on Audible, but the AI voice over makes the story mundane and slow. Author should’ve spent a little extra hiring a narrator or narrating himself. Won’t recommend due to AI narration and mispronunciation of simple words.

storyline stayed in line, didn't stray with a lot of side stories.
The ai reading stinks, words misspoke or changed some, having different voices for different characters would be nice instead of the one man. Overall good book, 4.5 hours, good fast moving story that started with an origin, not in the middle of the apocalypse.

I'm glad it was free. Otherwise, I would be very upset. It's a basic zombie story with basic characters. The robot narrator didn't help.

It's a Decent Short Story
The AI narration is ok for AI, but a person could have done a better job. The constant use of the 3 letter title in front of one if the main character's name was irritating and served no purpose. Otherwise, the characters are well developed and the story is good. Typical zombie take with no surprises, but it was a good listen.
