Publisher's summary

As the Ebola virus burns its way across the African continent, a previously unseen strain of the virus emerges along with terrifying side effects. When containments efforts fail, the virus speeds its way across the globe and sends the world spiraling into a panic as the dead begin to rise.
A small group of survivors find themselves trapped and abandoned in Charlotte, NC as the city around them is overrun by the dead. After realizing they have been left behind to fend for themselves, they strike out on their own in a desperate attempt to reach the safety of a refugee camp on the outskirts of the city. Along the way they discover that the dead aren’t the only things they have to fear in this suddenly terrifying new world, the forces meant to protect them are now just as dangerous as the zombies they were sent to fight.

That virtual voice….

Is not it.
Storyline is cool if you can get past all the mispronunciations and the non-reflective voice.

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.

Ganked. At the End

This novel built everything up to the completely anticlimactic ending, & then just stopped. No resolution, just humming along & then it was abruptly over.

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.

Great book

I loved the plot and characters. I don’t mind AI. The story kept you interested and I was so worried about the elderly couple.

S-P-C, wtf?

Not listenable. Ganley’s other book is much better. Ai voice here sucks. A real person reading would be better. Thinking I might boycott Ai voice Audible.

The remarkable and undeniable lack of personality in the virtual voice.

I’ve reviewed one before and said it then, I’ll read the ones I already have in my library, but I’ll never purchase another with AI narration. Too many errors and too little feeling. I believe the most correct word is “BLAH”. It actually put me to sleep for a while.

The AI poor quality in comparison to a human voice actor.

The virtual voice, has poor inflection qualities, as well as as, poor pronunciation of words with multiple meaning. mm
