Carrier Wave

By: Robert Brockway

Narrated by: Michael Braun

Humanity listened to the night sky. What we heard shattered the world. Listen. Just once. That’s it. As soon as you hear it, it has you. And once it has you, it’s over. You may think you’re in control. You’re not. You want one more listen. You want to look at that strange spot in the sky. The one that’s been slowly growing. The one that didn’t make sense...until you listened. You want to listen again, and you will do whatever it takes to make everyone else listen. By any means necessary. Even if it kills you.

Just one more listen. One more. Listen.

A formulaic zombie slog

It's okay. The positive reviews helped me choose this book, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. It's very easy to drift off and stop paying attention to it because nothing really matters. The book progresses like a video game level. The bad guys get a little bit stronger in every chapter, and the characters get just enough XP and powerups to finally win in the end. There's even a final boss. It's alright if you just want to listen to something while doing some chores, but I was ready for it to be over long before it ended.

As visceral as the Inferno and more introspective than Purgatorio

This book is worth your time and money. The story is engrossing, the characters are brought to vivid life and recognizable, and the morals are, if you appreciate those things, a beautiful window onto our current situation.

Don’t sleep on this

This is the book people think World War Z is, but with more teeth and heart and guts. Plus it’s funny and genuinely creepy.

different take end of the world enemy

the stories drags out a bit and the narrator's voices for each character isn't different enough to be able to tell them apart at a certain point of the audiobook. At times I felt I was forcing myself to finish it but I'm glad I did.

It wasn't the world war Z copycat I have been looking for but some of the chapters and characters really stood out.

very happy with the audiobook especially since it's included with audible.

Bradbury meets King

A little Bradbury and a little King- very fun pop-scifi/horror! Worth the credit
