Feral Outbreak

By: Sean Liscom

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

In the wake of the cataclysmic events that reshaped our world in 2020, a sense of relief washed over us all. By late 2023, I think we were ready to just live life again. I know I was. It was a time to make new friends and put the past to rest. Rayne and I hadn’t known each other long, but we were building a solid friendship, nothing more. It was our common interests that sent us on vacation together to my remote cabin. What we didn’t, couldn’t know, was that we were on a collision course with the end of the world as we knew it.

There was a new virus in town, and it was just making itself known when we left civilization behind. While the world was reeling from its effects, we were completely unaware of what was happening. For a couple of weeks life was great. Driving too fast on the side-by-side, loud music, great food, a little alcohol, and casual conversation distracted by beautiful scenery. About the only thing that would slow us down was the occasional deer in the road. By the time we figured out something was wrong, it was too late….

Excerpt

At first, the store smelled like day-old gym socks left in the hamper for a week and wet cardboard. The further we advanced, the worse it became. We were passing by all of the rotting meat, fruit, vegetables, and a pair of severely bloated bodies. There was a third one, but it had already exploded its innards all over the floor in a black pool that was writhing with maggots and flies.

Rayne wisely picked up the pace and pushed us through a pair of doors that were marked for employees only. The smell was slightly better back here. We worked our way to the back wall, and I found the loading dock doors where we’d backed the moving trucks in. Sweeping my flashlight along the wall and high ceiling, I found what I was looking for, sort of. I’d been hoping for stairs but found a wall-mounted ladder that led to the roof access. It was probably a 40, maybe 50-foot climb to the roof access hatch.

“There,” I motioned for the base of the ladder. “You gonna be able to climb that?”

“Do I have a choice?” she tried a small smile as she looked up to the hatch above us.

Incredible

You need to listen to this one. Can not wait for the next one. Thanks to the author and publishing team!

Finally found a good zombie book...with a twist.

So well written. The characters are developed. It has suspense and believability. Did not want it to end. Greatly anticipating book 2 as this one kept me up WAY past my bedtime!

Enjoyed the story!

The story and the narrator kept me engaged throughout the entire book. I have come to really enjoy Sean Liscom's style of writing. This did not disappoint and looking forward to continued storyline in the series 

A Great Book!!

It was well balanced! Just the right amount of adventure, monster hunting, and romance. I liked the growing love story without jumping in the sack in the first ten minutes .

Loved it!

Can’t wait to read the next book! I had to get the audio book so that I could finish today!

Leaves you wanting more

Great story, a younger sounding narrator would be better as most characters are in their 30s. Narrator sounds 60+.

Very good book

This is an excellent book. Keeps my interest and will listen to others by this author.

The best “zombie” novel I’ve read in years

This was an absolutely fantastic read. The action was great, the characters well thought out, the story was an interesting take on the genre, and the narration was top notch. There was one cringe moment (you’ll know it when you hear it), but over all, it was stellar.

Spend the credit. It is definitely worth it.

One of the best

Trust me you’re gonna love it. Just buy it. Sean is one of the best.

Really good overall & entertaining

what was nice about this is the main character wasn't necessarily prepared for this and he had no problem admitting when he did not know something, or he needed an explanation. also it was not an add for every piece of kit he had or needed. products were not shoved down ur throat. while it is nice to learn about products that work/help in these situations, some books over do it. this one does not. Good work.
