About this listen

What would you do to survive the apocalypse?

Jack Gee, hiking the New Zealand mountains, is blissfully unaware of the Hemorrhage virus sweeping the world. A desperate message from his wife, Dee, alerts him, and he must return to Hamilton. On the way, he is captured by flesh-eating Variants and taken to their meat locker. To escape, he will need to draw on all his experience as an outdoorsman, but first, he must find the will to survive.

Surrounded by Variants, Dee is trapped in her Hamilton basement with a group of survivors. With Jack missing, and dwindling food supplies, she must leave the basement, her only defense a katana.

The nightmare has just begun. Will they find each other in the chaos?

I have enjoyed Adrian's take on an extinction apocalypse based in New Zealand. I have always wondered what an apocalypse where guns are not readily available would look like .I found that series.

A good effort!!

I certainly enjoyed this overall, it had adventure and excitement. However, some of the characters actions just didn’t seem right under the circumstances Eg the lady who had just killed her husband making wise cracks the next day, I would have thought she’d been a bit more distressed…

Engaging

really enjoyed this addition to the series! loved the NZ setting too. the characters were slightly left of center, in a good way. not your average post apocalyptic crew. i can't really put my finger on the why of it, but it certainly does something to seperate this book from other books on this genre. thanks for the read. looking forward to the next one
