About this listen
The final installment of what happens when a miraculous cure ends up destroying the entire world.
When Dr. Everett Berning's discovery of a permanent cure for drug addiction fell into the hands of Benito San Nicholas, head of the Alvarado cartel in El Salvador - the end result was the dead took over the world.
In less than 48 hours, narcotics tainted with fungal spores are deployed around the globe and mankind's existence hangs in the balance. Nowhere is safe as the death toll mounts and the reanimated corpses aren't the only threat.
The remaining members of Project Rememdium and the small contingent of survivors from Arkansas band together. The decision is made to flee to a safer location, yet Teresa Alvarado had other intentions. Once in the air, hell-bent on finding Benito San Nicholas and killing him for what he's done, Teresa Alvarado forced the pilot to take them to her native El Salvador.
Will Teresa's own personal vendetta actually offer hope to Dr. Berning and the rest of the world?
Or will the dangerous jungles of El Salvador be the place where all hope is lost and they take their final breaths?

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too.

I was 12-years-old when the world ended. For eight years I've survived in this sh*thole once known as Earth, fighting the alien parasite that mutated most of the population into bloodthirsty freaks while the rest of us became the lunch special on their alien menu. Now things are changing, and not for the better. The parasite is evolving, becoming smarter, stronger, and deadlier. They've already stolen everything from me - my home, my family, even the man I loved. It's time for this bullsh*t to end once and for all.

What started as a flu outbreak on a military base proves deadlier than Ebola. Sympatico Syndrome is unlike anything the world has ever seen. Victims' behavior is changing to accommodate the rapid spread of the virus. Former Navy epidemiologist Cole Evans is well aware of the rare, infectious diseases the military studies. He also knows the government's stance on sharing information with the public, so if the media has already learned about the disease, then it's too late to contain the outbreak.

Tainted World
I admit I was floored at the end of book 3 when crazy Theresa (sp?) hijacked the plane and made everyone go to El Salvador. I didn't know how the author was going to resolve the situation. She did a really good job of wrapping up the series. If the author does another zombie apocalypse series, I will definitely read/listen it. I laughed, cried, and held on for dear life throughout this series. Well done. I received this audio book for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

You need this series in your library!
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily
left this review.
So, I was so happy that this, the final book in the series, was much longer then the others. I was honestly unsure how the auther would find resolution with the story but she did an incredible job. I won't do spoilers, here, it would just be wrong to do so.... If you are a fan of this type of book (Zombie Apocalypse) you really need to pick this entire series up and devour it like I did. It is THAT good! I would even go as far as to say this is one of the best executed zombie story arcs I've experienced with regard to plot, drama, character development and suspense. I was satisfied with the ending, but sad it is over. Seriously people, you need this series in your library!

Great ending to the series
While I feel like we got to the ending way too soon I loved this series..... that just means I wish it had continued.
I wish there was someone at the end working on the thing that was left unfinished. Trying to be vague so as to not give anything away.
I feel here is a chance for this world to continue through other characters in other parts of the world. Survival is always something to write about!

Another good book in the series!
This was the 4th good audio book in this series. I enjoyed each and every one. I was afraid that I wouldn't remember enough of book 3 to get into this, but the author did a good job of reminding me of each character and their history. I received this for free for an honest review.

Great post-apocalyptic series!
This is book 4 in The Rememdium Series. I highly recommend enjoying the rest of the series first. Ashley Fontainne starts the series out before the outbreak happens. No surprise here, but man caused it all. Our own greed caused our downfall. Drugs tainted with a fungal infection infected anyone who used it, killing them and reanimating them into zombies. Even worse, the infection has crossed species infecting animals as well. In this book, they finally manage to find a cure, only for it to be destroyed by greed once again. The whole series if full of zombie action! It's an excellent series that's a bit different from others I've enjoyed. Rebecca Roberts does a wonderful job with the narration. The voices and accents were perfect!

Beautiful and Awful
I don't even know where to start with this book. The characters have grown so much in this series. The people who are left at the end are people I would be proud to know. Roberts does this whole series so well. She has really distinctive voices for all the characters so you wouldn't even need dialogue tags to know who was speaking. I really felt the fear, the sadness, and the horror.

Worth the wait!!
This picks up from where book 3 ended so the flow of the book was seamless!! Teresa Alvarado accosted the plane and had them go to El Salvador. The rest of the survivours are playing along until they get to the compound she told them she had. They really have no choice because they've no where else to go anyway!! On arriving at the compound there's a few surprises for the group and they are rocked to their core when some truths come to light.
The author has created a winner with this series! When I first started the series when it was first released, I devoured each installment as they came. At one time I thought we wouldn't get a book 4 or a conclusion, and I was thrilled when I say that she was finishing the series because there was a lot left unanswered in the last book. It made me both nervous and excited for this one!!
But this was worth the wait! The answers to the questions we had were truly surprising and not something that entered my mind during the first 3! This is where the author excels!! She knows how to throw a curve ball into her stories and always keeps people guessing. You may think you know where the story is heading, but you don't!!!
In all, book 4 is a worthy ending to the series! Not all the characters we've grown to love will make it, but that adds authenticity to the story. It's well written and developed and I absolutely loved it!! The author knows how to tell a compelling tale and I urge everyone to try the series!
Rebecca Roberts was amazing!! That woman knows how to narrate....wow. Her tones and cadences really amped up the tension and the sheer amount of voices and accents she used for the characters was phenomenal!! Brilliant performance.
