Seeing as this is two novellas together, I don’t want to say too much about the plot because I’ll spoil it!! The first novella is about Dr June Mannis and takes place a few years after the first outbreak. Not much is known about CO-D4 other than people die, and reawaken changed. They call them Cody’s. It took them years, but mankind believe they have they outbreak handled and are curtailing the spread. There doesn’t seem to be a cure, so it’s become law to Rectify (kill) any one affected. Dr Mannis believes that they people infected can retain some of their humanity and there’s hope for them. In the second novella, it’s a continuation of the first but the MC is Dr James Ung, a friend and college of Dr Mannis. I’m not going to get into the plot of that one because it will spoil the first!!
I’m glad these were bundled together because they were so short! The plot is fast paced and flows nicely. With it being so short I was afraid in case either plot development or character development suffered, but it didn’t. All the characters were well written and developed and it was easy to become invested in their story. I really liked both Dr Mannis and Dr. Ung. The plot was unique and intriguing. I liked the spin the author put on the typical zombies. After the ending, I’m really looking forward to the next one to see where the story goes.
Andrew B. Wehrlen reads this well. He is clear and easy to follow and has plenty of tones and voices for the different characters. I always enjoy his performance and this was no different.
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
