About this listen

Los Angeles is an apocalyptic wasteland.

Without orientation, Colton stumbles through the vast, deserted city. He doesn’t remember who he is or where he came from. Scavengers save his life from mutants and bring him to the only remaining inhabited area and safe Zone in former Hollywood.

There he learns that after a devastating catastrophe called The Glitch, reality shifted, allowing nightmarish creatures from another dimension to enter our world. These so-called Dark Ones feed on suffering and violence, wanting nothing less than the complete annihilation of humanity.

Colton discovers that he has extraordinary abilities and joins a league of unusual defenders: ex-cop Eric, female cyborg Bombshell, and Vincent, a mighty entity from another world disguised as a human soldier.

But the Dark Ones are evil beyond imagination, and with their ice-cold enforcer, the traitor Eurydice, they are a threat nearly impossible to overcome. Cunning and ruthless, Eurydice sets a ploy in action, which leads to the destruction of the Zone’s defenses weakening the tiny community from within. It’s up to Colton and his friends to take a desperate stand against the superior enemy and save what is left of humanity from extinction.

Fast-paced, action-driven, and cinematic–an eternal fight of good vs. evil told in a way as never before.

A really unique and fantastic story!

I wasn't sure about this one, at first.
With two narrators and a few distinct viewpoints, I wasn't sure if this book was for me.
However, after listening into this post-apocalyptic novel featuring vampires protecting humans (admittedly their only food source) against some inter-dimensional beings trying to conquer the world, I really got sucked in by the intense, well written plot and the great characters.
In amongst this mess, is a man Colton who just appears without a memory, but very distinctly human.
How can the humans survthis nightmare?
Can they survive?
Who, what or when is Colton from?
This story was super interesting and really unique!
I am eagerly awaiting the next books that hope have more answers!
The narration was also quite well done, and helped bring me fully into the story.

Solid action and world

In this creative futuristic world supernatural forces have combined, cyborgs, humans and vampires coexist in a destroyed Hollywood hills. Despite being natural enemies of the humans the vampires need them for their blood and both humans and vampires have a natural enemy, the dark ones that come through the rift.

It's a dark place but the characters are alive with their humanity. There is plenty of action and then some. If you love cinematic action scenes, gritty and brutal, then you will enjoy the excitement that builds into the climax if this story.
