STAR RATINGS GUIDE

A gripping page turner. Similar to King's The Stand.

THE BIRDICT

This is a work of hyperbolic extremes. The purest evil, the most righteous good. And it works. My heart was in my throat for the duration of this race for survival. It's the kind of audiobook that makes you press play at every opportunity. The kind that makes you enjoy even the most boring housework, just because of the chance you get to keep going.

SQUAWKING THE TALK

Tom Stechschulte is the perfect narrator for this dark tale. His deep, sonorous voice has a gravity to it that enhances the foreboding and terror of the story and matches his role as the all seeing narrator. It can be a bit overwhelming to have him in your ear for over 34 hours, but I can't fault his performance.
