About this listen
The protests in front of the embassy aren't what they seem....
In the dark, primal jungles of the Congo Basin, something is ravaging the local population. When protests turn violent in front of the US embassy in Kinshasa, only the foreign policy experts paid attention. Civil war erupts, and people rip each other apart in the streets of the African capital.
To avert disaster and preserve its self-image, an overwhelmed State Department dispatches a team of elite counterterrorism agents to bring their besieged people back alive. Mark Steele, a young agent within the division, and his team of gritty operatives are used to trudging through the worst society has to offer, all while operating from the shadows. But Steele's team is plunging headlong into a maelstrom of death so much worse than rebels in the streets.
A highly contagious microbe is spreading unchecked, killing everyone in its wake only to bring them back again as the ravenous undead. Only a lone CDC virologist understands the extent of the outbreak at hand. He cowers among the embassy staff praying for extraction from the hands of death, fearing his part to play in the epidemic.
Follow this harrowing tale of survival, duty, love and horror as the living dead bring the world to its knees. The first installment of an epic series, End Time starts as a slow burn that turns into a breakneck-paced struggle for survival. Greene does an excellent job of depicting individual stories within the larger scope of the global epidemic. Enter the End Time.

Half decent story let down by everything else
I began seriously considering whether the book was written by a (bad) google AI.
The author kept repeating the exact same words in a sentence or paragraph, which I find irritating enough but what made me almost give up listening was the frequent use of words which made little or no sense in context, like they thought it meant something else, or got it confused with another word starting with the same letter.
The least of these was when so and so 'leered' at their computer. More than once. And no, it wasn't at something dirty. Either time.
I felt the author needed to make use of a good dictionary and thesaurus at least.
The story itself wasn't too bad. Some parts dragged, but some left you clueless as to what actually happened.
Some characters were likeable, some were so stupid I didn't know whether you were actually meant to like them. I didn't feel their behaviour made them a better part of the story.
Lots of almost preachy, patriotic paragraphs which ordinarily I don't mind. It became a problem when they were long, repetitive, and made you remember you were reading a somewhat tedious part of a book.
Much of the time you couldn't tell when a person was speaking vs thinking or when they changed characters either.
Narrator didn't help the flow. I didn't mind their voice, but some modulation or tone changes would have helped.
Note: I did finish it. For what it's worth.
