The Last Plague

The Plague Series, Book 1

By: Rich Hawkins

Narrated by: Jake Urry

A plague has fallen across the land. Slaughter fills the streets. All seems lost.

After Great Britain is hit by a devastating epidemic, four old friends must cross the war-torn country to get home to their families. But in order to reach their loved ones, they must journey through towns, villages and countryside teeming with the monstrous Infected - mutated people whose only desires are to infect and feed.

Run and hide. Seek shelter. Pray for salvation. The last plague is here.

I got obsessed with how the narrator pronounced HANDS.

Hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hends hend hends hend hends.

He says the world a lot.

A good story

This is more your typical zombie book. There are levels and details that are not for the faint of heart, definitely PH-18. I had to speed up to 1.7 because the show suppressing narrator had me losing focus and getting sleepy.

Took a bit to get going, but was actually terrifying

Like the title says. I was laying in the dark listening and I was so disturbed that I had to take a break. This is a good thing. Haven't been creeped out by a horror audiobook in ages. The infected are genuinely scary.

Dead Space Necromorphs land on earth, brutal.

An incredible experience from start to finish. A both cruel and bleak harrowing journey across cosmic horror infested Britain. It is a must read apocalyptic tome.

Excellent writing and narration

Wonderfully bleak and awful story with an atmosphere like McCarthy's The Road, but with alien-mutants. The story kept my attention throughout, which is rare. I do hope Rich Hawkins plans to re-release the remaining books in this series for Audible / Kindle (The Last Outpost and The Last Soldier).

Good Story…questionable narration

This was a very good story, well developed, and graphic in disturbing yet good ways. The characters were strong and well developed, the pace of the story was perfect. My only issue was with the narration. Unless it was dialogue, each line was delivered as a dull statement, making it difficult to listen at times. The narrator‘s voice was a mixture of spooky and sensual, which made the story slightly more disturbing to listen to. But still I listened, although a different narrator would have given this story a five star rating for me. I have downloaded the next book in the series though and will listen. It is a good story, and I want to know what happens next!

Nothing held back

This is probably the darkest apocalyptic book Ive listened to or read. There are no taboos or walls the author was afraid to break. And because of this and the excellent writing and story telling make this book series my top 10 list.

The author reads a little slow and almost dreary sounding but it’s perfect for this book! It sets the mood for the series and reminds readers how utterly hopeless things are for the characters just trying to survive in world no longer theirs.

No spoilers but this isnt a They all lived happily ever after book. At times I felt my self wanting to hug my daughter and wife…thats how good this book series is.

Couldn’t put it down !

Great read! Started a little slow but definitely a great zombie story with a little resident evil kinda twist great great story!

A solid virus horror

Very much enjoyed the gruesome action and desperate situations we find our survivors in. The voice is a bit slow at first but once you get used to him it’s fine

a dark and winding tale

amazing scary tale. you find yourself wanting to join the swarm and become "a beautiful butterfly" the speaker is voice cam put you off but hang on doesn't take long for this free audiobook to addict you! thanks for making it free! biggest reason I listened
