This is an excellent series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Where some in this genre are cardboard and formulaic, this author did a fantastic job at providing surprise, depth and emotion to the story and all of the characters. Really a great job and I was invested until the last word. Kevin Pierce as always did a great job narrating this tale. He really is the voice of the apocalypse. The only caution is this one may be more brutal than the others but suck it up buttercup, this is the end of the world.
