Story5 out of 5 stars 3,078
In 2009 Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after Keating's construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: It was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend.

Could put it down. Felt like the closest a non combatant could come to being there. The thoughts, feelings, actions and sacrifices can’t be conveyed in any other medium. I highly recommend this book / audiobook.

Danny and Jules, just children, witness the beginning stages of the pestilence. Neil watches helplessly from his office cubicle as Midtown is ravaged. Dr. Caldwell attempts to flee the madness of Providence Hospital, the epicenter of the outbreak. The lives and survival of these few become intertwined in the aftermath of the onslaught.

What did you love best about Infection: Alaskan Undead Apocalypse?
character driven plot, realistic amount of preparedness, nitty-gritty survivalism
What did you like best about this story?
I really liked seeing how the plot plays it's self out. There's a lot of slow building in this book which draws you in to the characters and helps cement the next books scenes; something I like to see. You get in to the survivalism aspect of the apocalypse here, but it also focuses on emotions of people around the main characters which are realistic. It helps that the people in the book act realistically as well. There really isn't a prepared hero here, someone who just so happens to have X gear, just encase. It's a good read if you like character involvement and driven plot as well as realism. Since I'm about that stuff, it worked well for me.
Have you listened to any of Daniel May’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to his read of the second book in this series. It's a great performence. I am deaf and have limited frequency ranges I can hear anything in, so listening takes a lot for me. I want nd need a reader who falls with in my range, he does. I also want a great performance, mostly because listening takes up large ammounts of energy for me, so I figure I should get rewarded for it. He is one of the things that makes this book come to life in my head for me. It's easy to picture scenes as he described them and on the second book he keeps the voices the same as in the first lending the characters a sense of realism they may not otherwise have had.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I deffenitly wanted to listen to this all in one go, but my disabilities wouldn't let me. If I could've though, I would/ve.
