About this listen

The end of everything was her beginning....

It's November 2022. The human race has been wiped out by the 6DM virus (Six Days Maximum - the longest you've got before your organs disintegrate and you melt from the inside out). The end of the world as we know it.

Yet someone is still alive. Alone in a new world of burning cities, rotting corpses and ravenous rats, one woman has survived. A woman who has spent her whole life compromising what she wants and hiding how she feels to meet other people's expectations. From her career to her relationships, to what she wears and where she lives, she's made a lifetime of decisions to fit what other people want her to be.

But with no one else left, who will she become now that she's completely alone?

Wow! What a great book. I have a real liking for dystopian and apocalyptic novels and this didn’t let me down. It is very different to those I have read to date but I really did like it.
Listening to it now as Omicron finally gets a grip on NZ (with strict border control and lockdown, we have been very lucky not to have too many community cases of the other two variants) it made the plight very real.
Thoroughly recommend.

I thought the character development was really good. The ending neatly tied things up but left enough mystery that I'm still thinking about it. I thought the world building was solid and would be worth a sequel either based around the same character or a different one set within the same world.

Really enjoyed it

I love post apocalyptic novels and this one did not disappoint - please let there be a sequel

Not normally my type of book however I was hooked right from the first chapter! Couldn’t stop listening. The narration was one of the best I’ve heard on audible and will definitely be looking for other titles from the author and narrator!

Surprisingly excellent

I can’t get enough of end of days literature, this book is up there with the best of them - thank you so much for the gift of this story.

I love this book

It was fun. l long researched information on the 'what if us humans, all 7.7 billion of us, all dropped dead tomorrow - how long for our world to recover from our abuse and how might it unfold?
This book only covered about 12 months - but was okay.

Figured this would be a bit of Fun!

Absolutely loved this book. Such a fantastic take on a end of world story. Very real, honest look at the ugliness of what it would be like but also a really beautiful human development story. Highly recommend.

Fantastic

Narration was excellent. A protagonist that at times you feel like slapping some sense into, then again if you're the last person alive why not self medicate your way to the end. Lucky the dog was well named indeed and introduced at the right time. Until their meeting I wasn't sure if I truly cared about our unnamed character. Her story evolves through flashbacks and nearing the end I was wishing for a hopeful ending.

Hard to mention more without spoilers. Sometimes a bit predictable though overall often went in a different direction than expected. Humourous enough at times for genuine laughter

Thoroughly enjoyed, do recommend.

Makes you rethink surviving against other critters
