I’m a huge fan of survival stories, whether they deal with the aftermath of an EMP, zombie outbreak, nuclear war, or in the case of No Direction Home a viral outbreak. There is just something gripping about the stories of people struggling to survive as all around them society breaks down.
I really enjoyed this first book in the No Direction Home series and was disappointed when it came to an end. NDH Book 1 tells multiple stories of small groups struggling to figure out how to survive in a world where the population has been devastated by a viral outbreak that kills like 98% of the population. Each group has a gripping story and I really like how many of the stories come together in this book, and also the promise that more of them with come together in future volumes. I think this is the first by Mike Sheridan that I’ve experienced but I can guarantee you it would be the last.
What can I say about Kevin Pierce’s narration? He’s quickly become of my favorite narrators. In fact I feel pretty confident in saying he’s in my top 3 narrators. And when I think of survival books I think of Kevin Pierce. Heck even when I’m reading a survival story, it’s Kevin’s voice I tend to hear in my head. Not sure I can give him a better compliment than that.
