The Survival Trilogy, Book 2

By: James Brown

They fled through the city, away from the school, racing in desperation towards an uncertain future.

Just wow

So super excited to have book 2 ….

I can’t believe what happened to Troy….. my heart broke but he is still a loveable character..

I can’t wait for what happened next…. This is surely one of my new favorite book series…

For Horror Fans who love twists!

Watching from a safe distance, the small group of survivors fighting for their lives witnesses change. The woolies are acting out of character and the leeches are more aggressive. Leaving the confines of the school, the small troupe ventures out to find the military base. During the escape from the school, one is bitten by a leech. Troy tries to keep his bite a secret to protect Amy. However, another betrayal and time make it difficult for Troy to keep his secret.

James Brown, the author puts a different spin on this dystopian novel in which the monsters – leeches and woolies – are not only evolving but some are becoming smarter and more deadly. Part of a series, the story flowed smoothly and effortlessly from book one to two keeping the characters consistent. The storyline was fast-paced with action and peppered with emotion. This book prompted the listener to examine their thoughts and explore their relationships and emotions. It is more than a dystopian novel, so much more! The plot twists are well executed and fit the storyline well.

The narrator, Kerr Lordygan gives a solid performance with specific and consistent voices for each character. Lordygan keeps the story moving forward smoothly and steadily interjecting an appropriate amount of emotion. The short exchange between Amy and Troy was very moving and made more so by Lordygan.

This continues to be an interesting and captivating story where plot twists are expected but not with such a twist!

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Troy and Leeches

This book picks up where the first book ended and the action never stops! The group has fled the school and is trying to reach a military base. Troy is sick, running a horrible fever, and Amy and the others are worried that he might not survive. Meanwhile, the Woolies seem to be suffering from some horrible disease and the behavior of the Leeches is also changing.

This is a thoroughly entertaining book and this series is fast-paced. But, there is also plenty of emotion and introspection as each character deals with what is happening around them. the author has done a great job in world-building and character development and I can't wait to see what happens next.

The narrator does a great job and his performance adds a lot to the book. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.
