About this listen

Two boys fall in love in a deadly world, but it's the secrets they keep that might kill them.

Seventeen-year-old Zach was visiting his uncle in a small Montana town when a mysterious illness ripped through the world. Most died, but those who survived the Infection became mindless killers, spreading the disease with a single scratch. Now, a year later, civilization lies in ruins, and Zach is the town's sole survivor. Desperately lonely, he longs to return to his family in Seattle, but his fears hold him captive.

Eighteen-year-old Aiden is on a critical mission for the covert Scientific Collective, delivering vials whose contents could cure the Infection. Tortured by his boyfriend's death, he welcomes the risks of the perilous journey. When a militia attacks Aiden, he flees to Zach's town.

The boys escape together and soon form a bond as they comfort each other in this desolate and broken world. The farther they travel, the more their affection grows, as do the forces pulling them apart. But their greatest threats are the secrets they keep. Zach hides details of his uncles death, and Aiden conceals the vials sinister origins. In order to survive, they'll have to confront the truths that could tear their love apart.

Well worth the listen

Paul Michael Winters' foray into the post-apocalyptic genre is a rousing success - one that led me through a roller coaster of emotions, and left me wanting more in the end.

Winters must be praised for the exceptional way he portrays the two main characters, Aidan and Zach. They are both lovable, endearing characters who are certainly flawed, but are flawed in a way that makes the story more endearing and believable. I must also commend the author on his knowledge of and research regarding the setting of the novel; the pictures he painted regarding the different locales, and the accuracy of their descriptions helped to immerse me fully in the story.

Together in a Broken World, while not an absolute "must-read," is certainly an audiobook/novel I'd recommend to anyone who is a fan of post-apocalyptic adventures, or those who enjoy reading M/M romance novels. The sexual content is kept to a relative minimum, but I still wouldn't recommend this jovel to anyone under the age of 16, as some themes may be a bit too mature for younger audiences.

Overall this was an absolute pleasure to listen to, and I look forward to reading more of Winters' works in the future.
