About this listen
The entire Wasteland Chronicles series
No one expected Ragnarok. The miles-wide meteor fell from the sky in 2030, taking most of humanity with it. The lucky ones took refuge in the Bunkers. The unlucky ones had to deal with the meteor's aftermath...and the alien virus it unleashed.
Now, that virus is evolving, creating an army of mutants and monsters, mixing Earth genetics with something...not Earth. As humanity struggles in the wastelands of what's left, it might already be too late...
...unless a band of young heroes can rise up, and fight.

The story felt very disjointed and didn’t create suspense or a feeling of hopelessness which I believe was trying to be conveyed. Also, it didn’t seem like the characters had any chemistry which meant when one died or I was led to believe one died, I felt ambivalent to the outcome.
If you have 4 hours a day to drive in a car as I do, then this will get you by for a spell, but I had to switch to other audiobooks and podcasts and almost force myself to return to this series just to finish it.
Good for passing the time

The story would have been a good deal better if there had been more research and proof reading.
Probably pretty close to the mark

The characters and world are poorly thought out and frankly ridiculous at the best of times. This could have been played out in an intentionally campy manner, which may have been fun, but that is clearly not the case here.
The protagonist insert character is an insufferably smug, plot armored goofball, who every young and beautiful female character is attracted to.
He is a skinny sixteen year old encountering the wasteland for the first time, who is somehow also already a warrior, braver and more competent at everything than even the apparently hardened wasteland warriors he encounters. And he’s also a brilliant wunderkind who intends to carry on his father’s xeno-biology work... Oh, and did I mention all the ladies love him too (of course)?
I could only forgive the childishness and suspend my disbelief for so long. It’s a big no from me on this one.
Teenage wish fulfilment
