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.

Story
Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he’s lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go on—until a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless.

Story
It’s been ten years since Priscilla and her Zeta Phi Zeta sorority sisters graduated college. Ten years since they were all in the same room together. Ten years since one of them died. And now Lupé’s killer has been released from prison on a technicality, days before their ten-year reunion. Priscilla decides that the party must go on; Lupé would have wanted it to. And besides, an epic reunion bash might be the perfect distraction. Back together, the Zetas party like it’s 2012, and it’s wild, just the way it used to be. Maybe too wild.

Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida.

But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.

Story
Born in a country that has repeatedly traumatized her and her loved ones, Maya Wiley grew up in a household that prioritized activism, hope, and resilience above all else. This attitude landed her father on President Nixon’s enemies list as her mother organized third-party political platforms. Still, they modeled hope for their children. In the decades since, she has borne witness as presidents and political figures used racism and fascism to gain power, and as cities have again and again elected white men, effectively shutting out people of color and women from having a political voice.

Story
A gunslinger with four affinities is a myth. It's the kind of story whispered in frontier saloons one drink before closing and around campfires in the dead of night. For the heroes and villains in those tales, that impossible power is a boon, a gift. For Mr. Jones, it's a curse. Of course, that's not his real name. He's had many. Changing names is necessary when you possess a power that every lawman and outlaw would kill to obtain. To survive, you keep your head down, kill when you must, and never stay in one place too long.

He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

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]
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
