This story is set in the Five Roads to Texas Universe. In this world, a ZomPoc Virus has been released and is wiping out the world. This is Malcolm’s story. His family took a trip to California for a long weekend before the virus got bad to visit his wife’s side of the family and never returned. This was to give him a break from everyone and give him some alone time.

Suffering from guilt and grief he plans to end his life after several weeks into the apocalypse. He wants to tour the families favorite places in their home town of Cincinnati while avoiding the infected. He crosses paths with Tessa a surgeon trying to get out of town with her two children. He decides to live and help the escape town before it is bombed by the remnants of the federal government the following day.

The story is really enjoyable and holds the listener’s attention. The action is fast past paced and keeps the story moving. In this universe, this is not the happy shiny world where everything is sunshine and rainbows. The stories are darker and the good guys do not always win. This makes for some really great listening. This is really a fun universe to explore as a listener.

The narration is provided by Andrew B. Wehrlen. Mr. Wehrlen brings a strong skilled vocal quality to each audio production. His narration of Malcolm in this story really gets the listener invested in his journey in this new horrific world. The production quality of this audiobook is also the highest quality. I heard no problems during the entire performance. There were not any detectable flaws that I was able to hear during the entire performance such as loops, breaks, or buzzing. The production was crisp and clear. AJ Powers delivered an excellent audiobook production. I highly recommend this audiobook and series. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
