About this listen

They thought the darkness was behind them. They were wrong.

A decade ago, a devastating bioweapon changed the face of humanity. Innocent people were turned into ravenous creatures driven by a relentless urge for destruction. Now the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives in the remains of a shattered America.

Captain Dominic Holland leads a crew of skilled covert operatives and scientific personnel on a clandestine ship to protect the US from chemical and biological weapons. Their mission takes a harrowing turn when a vital agricultural lab in a troubled New England town falls prey to a vicious attack. Dom’s team is tasked with saving any survivors. But what they uncover is more devastating than the ruins of a lab.

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, Dom’s daughter Kara ventures into the wild alone to search for a missing woman. But her mission quickly takes a startling turn. She must learn to trust an unexpected ally to survive a far more sinister threat than she ever anticipated.

As danger escalates at every turn, Dom and Kara find themselves entangled in a web of unimaginable horrors. They must navigate the treacherous post-apocalyptic landscape to safeguard the fragile future of America. In this relentless thriller, where every step could be their last, Dom and Kara fight not only for survival, but for the very soul of a nation teetering on the brink of extinction.

Serviceable Post-Apocalyptic Story

This Anthony J. Melchiorri tale takes place a few years after a ZA-styled civilizational collapse as outlined in the 'Tide' series (a bioengineered virus that causes the infected to mutate into bloodthirsty clawed naturally-armored monsters called "Skulls" was released). The United States is struggling to rebuild society while remnants of Skull hordes, engineered half-human "Hybrids", and human gangs & cultists wander the wastelands.
The book isn't terribly original but offers passable writing and an "adequate" take on the genre. True, it's an odd combination of sophomoric - cartoonish quasi-military action scenes - and meticulously technical - discussions of biochemical mechanisms of action for various classes of antifungals - but this book is suitably fun.

As to presentation: Reader Ryan Kennard Burke neither drops the ball nor distinguishes himself. The performance is great but nothing that any other professional in Firehawk Press's stable of voice actors could have provided (N.B. Kennard-Burke is very, very good at whisper-shouting.. which is fortuitous since it's, like, ⅔ of the dialogue in the book).

Book One of the 'After The Tide' series rates 5.5 stars out of 10. It warranted the $3.14CDN that I paid for it (I got it on sale).. but it's not worth full price unless you're invested in the characters.

[Note: This book has a reasonable degree of standalone merit.. but so heavily builds on a previous Melchiorri series that you should probably start with Books 1-4 of 'The Tide' before trying this book]
