Infection Z – The Apocalypse Mike and Tony were on a weekend getaway of drinking beer, playing cards and solving the world’s problems at Tony’s cabin when the end began. They had often discussed how fragile the world was. The world’s many unstable political leaders could throw the world into chaos at any time over something as simple as a someone waking up on the wrong side of the bed. The financial markets of the world were constantly on the brink of plunging the world into bankruptcy. Someone being late on their car payment could push the world into a major depression. Society was a mess. The police stopping a speeder was enough to have one group crying discrimination, resulting in large cities being brought to a standstill by riots and protesters. Mike and Tony claimed they wouldn’t be surprised to see the world come apart at the seams any day now. Even though they claimed that they wouldn’t be surprised to see the world self-destruct, when the end of the world came, at first, they didn’t recognize that the end had begun. What they saw happening around them was something they had never considered. It just wasn’t possible. They quickly discovered the one problem of the world that they didn’t have a solution for. And apparently, neither did anyone else. Three boys from Tennessee had joined the Navy with exciting expectations of seeing the world, just like the Navy had promised in their recruiting brochures. Instead of seeing the world, Seaman Rogers, Seaman Davis and Petty Officer Chervanak found themselves stationed at the Naval Air Station in Nevada. It was an important base out in the Nevada desert where the Navy tested many of the country’s most advanced aircraft and weapons and trained America’s best pilots. In the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert, they never had much of a chance to see the world. However, as they soon came to realize, their assignment in the Nevada desert gave them a front row seat to see the end of the world. Mike, and Tony never knew what happened, all they could do was just try to survive. The men stationed at the Naval Air Station in Nevada knew what had happened, but it didn’t seem that this knowledge would really make a difference? Petty Officer Chervanak and the men at Fallon fought desperately to find a way to survive. In their efforts to survive, they stumbled onto something that may not only allow them to survive, but could also save the future of the Human Race. Before the end began, they all knew that there were many ways the world could end. But the one question none of them had thought about before was, “Would there be any way to survive?” It was a hard question to answer when you had no way of knowing how the world would end. It became an even harder question to answer when they found out what was destroying mankind and the world. Horror

listening is with a degree of struggle trying to figure out how a sentence was meant to be delivered since the virtual voice lack stability to stress the particular words in a sentence that need to be stressed to deliver an emotional response

the virtual voice is having difficulties mimicking human emotion

I enjoyed the characters, plot points, and some original interpretation of the zombie apocalypse genre. I really love that you just said zombie! Sometimes the efforts to invent new labels falls flat after the hundredth time hearing it. I hope there are or will be more as you left us with a cliffhanger. It was refreshing for the two cabin buddies to act like regular dudes and not agro commandos the minute they were threatened.

Nice Cliffhanger

The story was mixed- it had a nice start idea, but fell apart in a variety of ways. The characters barely any emotions: they lose one of their friends and barely escape with their lives and 10 seconds later they’re philosophizing like nothing had happened; very Dr. Spock. The writing isn’t great with a lot of the same word getting used over and over making it jump out it you instead of the story. Lots of stuff happens off screen. Booooo.

Again, the AI narrator made it all worse. No emotion, weird pauses, and the occasional slurred words because it has no idea what it’s trying to say. I keep giving them a try and they’re always horrible. Avoid.

More bad AI narration.

Overall was okay and could have been better without the virtual voice narrating. It was hard to follow for a bit because of the virtual voice.

Loved the characters and the two story lines, the original plot and how everything came together.
The virtual voice reader was actually better than I expected, besides who would complain about being able to get such a great book for free.
Definitely am going to give the next two books in this series a try.
I highly recommend

Great Story.
