    About this audiobook

    The only thing worse than death, is living in hell on Earth.

    Disorder and chaos ravage London when thousands are contaminated by the accidental discharge of an experimental bio-weapon. The disease robs its hosts of rational thought, giving them a singular desire-find more living flesh to infect.

    Cut off from information and senior leadership, one squadron of soldiers under the command of their senior NCO, Sergeant Major Johnson, finds itself forced to operate independently until the remnants of military and government command re-establish themselves safely at sea in the English Channel.

    The infected, however, have a different agenda. They gather into massive hordes, sweeping the countryside and leaving nothing alive in their wake.

    Don't miss this heart-stopping intro to a zombie thriller series about survival against all odds! You've never experienced the undead like this before.

      Apocalypse is the first book in a seven book series called The Wasteland Chronicles. It's about a post-apocalyptic world after the U.S. was hit by this huge meteor called Ragnarok that also carried a deadly virus called Xenovirus. As the virus spreads, the survivors that were living in Bunkers have been forced to live in the harsh wasteland. This was another pleasant surprise that I found in the Kobo store. It's action packed and the pacing is on point and the story is a good length -not too long, not too short. Another good thing about it is - it's free! The first three books in this series (The Wasteland Chronicles Omnibus) are actually free so if you like dystopia/post-apocalyptic survival stories you should check it out. I know Amazon & Kobo both have it.

      A really great start of a series! I'll definitely be continuing on to book #2!

      Updating my reviews here. You can find the dates I started and finished this book and the review for this book on my BookLikes.

      It was an interesting take on the virus zombie apocalypse, but it was poorly done. Poor grammar, spelling... it was like reading a high school student's first draft. This was a freebie on Amazon, and the only reason it got two stars instead of one was that it was free. Had I paid for this crap, I would have been incredibly angry.

      In APOCALYPSE it is the year 2060 and most of humanity have been decimated by the xenovirus. It is both deadly and contagious. It affects both plants and animals. The few people who remain on the earth must fight to survive as most supplies are in short demand. A few people were lucky enough to get into underground bunkers when everything began and now their descendants live in luxury compared to the outside world. The problem is that now only four of the bunkers remain and the virus seems to be finding its way inside them.As the story opens Alex has just turned 16 and is taking his first recon trip to the Wasteland with Michael. The Wasteland is the earths surface and everyone must work in the bunkers. They are on patrol when they find an injured man from another bunker lying on the side of the road. Michael radios it in, as Alex sees a wastelander watching them. Instead of telling Michael, he keeps quiet as he knows that Michael will kill the wastelander as they need to keep their bunker location secret. It is this secrecy which has allowed them to survive this long. Meanwhile, they carry the man back to the bunker and eventually the infection escapes and the bunker is lost. Alex is the only one to escape the infection. Now it is his turn to see what life is like as a wastelander and find a cure for the deadly xenovirus, when all he really wants is just to live normally once more.This story was surprisingly really well written and it flew by, once I had the chance to sit down and read without interruption. As with most good stories, the reader is drawn in and before he knows it he has reached the end of the story. The characters, although teens/young adult, for the most part are interesting and involving, no matter what your age. To me, the author has developed a unique idea for the zombie infection and it works because in this day and age, you know that there are so many new bugs out there. It is a new possibility and the way the earth is destroyed isn't when the meteor hits, it's the affect it has afterward.

      Think Fallout (any of the games) meets Jeremiah meets Thunderdome & a touch of Eli...whip it up with xenosludge into a slurry with a side of Escape from LA and Zombieland & some good old fashioned alien unknown 195-60 genre conventions ... Ya!

      Quick paced, nothing really new. Though the return of old B-movie and PA is comfortable, having everything piled in with zombies is a bit much.

      A decent entertainment and beach read for enthusiasts of all the above. If it was a movie, Rifftrax would love it!!
