So, first off, this book is really good by most standards. The worldbuilding is good, the LitRPG elements are straightforward and are surprisingly interesting and unique, and the characters are believable. There is an interesting past-present storytelling gimmick, and to Kal’s credit it’s handled in a way that doesn’t break up the pacing or make..
In the first few chapters, I was bored. After a few chapters, I got into it. In the second half (of this monster of a book), I didn’t want to put it down.
This one was quite different from all the other ones. Over 30 hours, hugely interesting and unique despite the concept being pretty common. The characters in this book are good and the changes in perspective synergize well creating a single coherent story.
I wish the narrator was less…..documentary (for lack of a better explanation) I feel like he is trying to impersonate Morgan Freeman LOL Sometimes so monotone and lack luster and then others over dramatical. But overall not a bad storyline. Not my favorite Z poc book but worth the credit as it killed some time.

An amazing series based in a post apocalyptic world where the love for your family and friends will cause you to overcome any obstacles in your way. Booby Adair created a masterpiece.
The SHATTERED ALLIANCE series is just a good as Mr. Wallace’s other works. Smart, creative, full of colorful characters and d*** right hilarious. Phil Thron brings Ben’s work to life like no other, and is just perfect to narrate his books.

This is a book about a zombie apocalypse, centered in Austin, TX. I’m about halfway through the series but I have to write this review to try and warn away anyone who has listened to the Arisen series by Michael Stephen Fuchs and narrated by R.C. Bray. THAT is a zombie series worth listening to,..

I felt like this just went on and on and on with the same things happening over and over. No real ending to it. I kept going hoping something would eventually happen but I feel like it just abruptly ended.
