Publisher Description
A deadly strain of flu mutates, causing the deaths of millions throughout Ireland and beyond. But the infected don’t stay dead for long, rising up to become flesh-eating monsters.
Geri McConnell is a survivor. Through the graffiti-stained streets of Belfast she runs, determined to stay one step ahead of the ever-increasing hordes of living dead.
In neighboring Finaghy, God-fearing Karen looks to the stoic and level-headed Pat Flynn for a paternal figure. But with a checkered past as an IRA gunrunner, Pat is battling demons of his own.
Meanwhile what remains of the military congregate in a run-down base thirty miles south of Belfast.
And the virus is airborne. Anyone can become infected.
Flu is a terrifying and brutally realistic zombie horror story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When a particularly nasty strain of the flu mutates, millions of people are killed the world over. Soon, the dead start rising and when those who've died come back, they've got a hearty appetite for human flesh. With the Zombie Apocalypse in full swing, Ireland's Geri McConnell and other survivors must battle to live another day as the airborne contagion and hordes of zombies continue to run rampant. In this audio edition of the first volume in Simmons's Flu series, narrator Michael Kramer delivers a pitch-perfect performance. His voice is low and weary, his tone thoroughly creepy. With deliberate pacing, the narrator takes his time with the story heightening the book's tension in a way that will make listeners squirm. Among the many zombie audiobooks published in recent years, this one manages to stand out from the pack. A Tantor paperback.
