Rust-Colored Rain

Wrack and Ruin, Book 1

De: Otto Schafer

Narrado por: A.J Carter

The world was ready to defend against an asteroid of epic proportions… but nobody was ready for what came after.

On the last day of normality in Mackinaw, Illinois, Oliver McCallister thinks his worst problem is figuring out how to come clean to his wife about the secret he’s been keeping from her. Zoe McCallister thinks her worst problem is squeezing in an errand at the courthouse before another long day of nursing classes—and worrying about whatever Oliver is hiding from her.

Oliver has just started his garbage route when an emergency broadcast announces the arrival of a ten-kilometer-long asteroid. A nuclear strike successfully destroys the asteroid and turns the sky into a canvas of crimson clouds. People cheer. They dance in the rust-colored rain falling from the clouds. It seems the apocalypse has been avoided.

But the apocalypse isn’t happening to people, it’s happening inside them.

First their eyes bleed. A ravenous hunger consumes them. Their sanity breaks. Then they become… the undead.

As the apocalypse unfolds, Oliver battles the undead to rescue a wise-beyond-her-years six-year-old named Jurnee and make his way back home, where he hopes he’ll find Zoe and safety. Before they can be reunited, Zoe must band together with a group of survivors to dodge the infectious red rains and escape a zombie-infested courthouse.

Will Zoe’s medical knowledge, Oliver’s protective instincts, and Jurnee’s indomitable spirit be enough for them to find safe refuge in this new and frightening world? Will Oliver and Zoe be able to repair their strained marriage, or will this dire situation push them further apart?

Rust-Colored Rain is the first book in a thrilling new science fiction zombie series from the author of the award-winning God Stones series. If you’re yearning for a character-driven thrill ride, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and brain-craving zombies, then you’ll love Otto Schafer’s Rust-Colored Rain.

Rain Rain Go Away..

I enjoyed this version of the Zombie genre and I am here for it. I don't want to spoil anything for readers.

Thrilling Story!

This story was fantastic on its own and kept you on your toes from the beginning. The Narrator did a fantastic job, from the creepy zombie groans, moans, and to the screams and panic from the characters. Overall I was left wondering what was gonna happen next through the entire book.

Can't Wait for Book 2!

It was a great book. I got drawn in and couldn't stop listening. Definitely a must listen for any zombie fan!

The not like all other Zombies well done!

I am in love with this book I by far think it is amazing! it is Different and thrilling I am sure a fan by far!

a stand out in the genre

the fact that the author gave a shout out to the Mountain Man series is all you need to know about the quality of this book. these main characters are relatable & easy to root for.plenty of suspense & horror with a storyline that kept me hooked.looking forward to the next!

good book. preformed kinda threw me off.

I really enjoyed the story. It is fast paced and interesting. there are some oddities to the characters but over all its still super fun. The preformer was good but for some reason it threw me off when the main male character had dialog.

great

very gripping never boring always on your toes. Can’t wait to read and listen to the 2nd book to know what else happens and if theres more survivors and if familys survived.

Great set up

While it was a bit slow at the beginning for me I ended up really enjoying the ups and downs of the main characters. I think Otto set up this new series perfectly. I think the ending is the perfect way to keep readers interested and looking forward to the next book in the series. I cannot wait to get on the next book!

I love it

It was a good book I want to another book I need to know happens next is Zoey going in alone inside the church

What a listen

Could not stop listening, definitely going to get the rest of the series! Love the different take on the zombies
