First-rate book

I really liked listening to this story. The characters are great, and I'm hooked on finding how it turns out for them. I recommend this book. Now for the obligatorily: This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. And I'm damn glad A.R. Shaw let me have the Audio form of this book. Since I can't justify the expense of getting the audio format for all in the series, I'm off to Amazon to get the Kindle versions. :)

If you like post apocalyptic novels, you'll like this one.

Not a great novel, but worth the read. The story was good with a few unusual twist. It got a little stupid right at the end, But it was still fun to read.

Mixed bag of good and bad.

Once past the jerky beginning story finds its feet and moves at a decent pace.

Needs a better editor/sounding board.
15yo girls are written like they are 11yo waifs most of the time.
5yo boy written like he should be 12+

Protagonist is borderline too stupid/naive to survive in the environment portrayed *I'll chalk it up to luck and just roll with it.

It's not horrible, but the author could have used some constructive guidance in the early drafts.

Performance is adequate.

To say the least,

I was shocked when the book ended. I was so into it, I didn't even realize it was about to end. I was listening to the audio version. Needless to say, my next read will be China Pandemic book two. I love survival stories, and this one is certainly not run of the mill. It has everything you could want; good guys, bad guys, hunting, fishing, romance, thankfully kept to a minimum, and realism.

Predictable, un-entertaining and returned.

Very basic story that makes no sense, AT ALL! Not even worth a free credit. I made it through five chapters waiting for a reason to not return the selection. The most interesting story line ended after a sick nother leaves her kid with the main character. When she died so did the story.

I've tried... 3 times

I've tried to listen to this story, but the narrator's monotone voice and the unimaginative story really make it tough. honest, youd all have more fun a playing crash up derby with 8th grader while your hands are zip tied behind your back

The China Pandemic

I found this audio book to be exciting and interesting. the characters were people that I could care about. I hope I can listen to more in this series soon.

Great story! Great narrator!

Another great story by Annette! Well read by Darriel.
I was drawn in by the storyline and the potential reality of what could happen in a variety of scenarios.
I found myself “in person” while listening.
Go into it knowing it is book one of a series.
Looking forward to the other books!
Enjoy the listen..

So the main character treats the only other surviving neighbor who is a young child, horribly! He’s such a jerk I couldn’t finish this book!

China Pandemic real or fiction

A bird flu has ravaged the earth, only 2% of the population has lived. Graham has no family left and decides to he for his families cabin in the woods. On the way he picks up a few stragglers and they become his new family. When Graham and one of the girls run into some preppers in a town on a restocking mission they give him a boy to take care of as well since the preppers have not been exposed to the flu they do not know who is susceptible and who is not so they can not keep the boy. What Graham does not know is who the preppers are led by and how much the preppers are helping Graham and his new family, especially when the bad guys come.

This was a great story I would love to hear more and someday I might get to. But it is really good and narrator Darriel Driml really brought it to life. I really liked the story line and the characters they worked well together, but you do need to remember this is fiction so what always works may not always be real, but still a great story.
