About this listen

 Matt Kearns and the remnants of the scientific team return to a ravaged America. Modern medicine has failed to halt the spread of the flesh-consuming parasite, and humans have been forced to hide, even from each other. The infected roam the cities and suburbs of a ruined nation. But the devastating effects on human physiology are only the beginning. Something has been let loose, something that the team were not prepared for: human nature itself. Matt and Carla must make it back to the CDC headquarters, crossing the apocalyptic countryside that proves every bit as dangerous and deadly as the South American jungle. The race is on to test their eradication cure, before their world suffers the same fate as that of the giant saurians of prehistory. But there is something they don’t count on – the solution has a high price. If they don’t use the cure it means the end of mankind, but what if the remedy is worse than the disease?©2013 Greig Beck (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Adventure Horror Suspense

Amazing finish. Adrenaline pumping, love Matt Kearns. He deserves his own story. Romance, danger, intrigue

Great story and narrative.

A very interesting and gripping story and narrated so well.
What I can’t understand was why it was divided into three books when length was just right for one book.
Is it greedy publishers?
There will be people missing out buying these as it’s not value for money when length of each book is taken into account.

Not great

Not a good Episode 3. Quite stupid in storyline. But you have to read it anyway.

extremely disappointing

I hoped the 3rd book would be an improvement on the 2nd one.
Even more ludicrous than the 2nd book.
Implausible stupid story. To long . A rip off it could have been sold a one book. Don't get sucked in
