    About this audiobook

    From apocalypse...

    An act of terrorism unleashed an unspeakable biological weapon...and hell on earth. But as the masses felled by a hideous virus rose from the dead to prey on the living, a small band of survivors defied death and its ghastly spawn—determined to outrun the world’s end and somehow begin again.

    To Armageddon...

    But beyond the undead-besieged shores of Europe lies something closer to damnation than salvation. Rescued from certain death at sea, a young Spanish lawyer, the beautiful woman he loves, and his brash, battle-hardened best friend—who have weathered the worst of the unnatural disaster—think they’re escaping to freedom but are delivered into a stronghold of hate. In a United States ravaged by a zombie plague and overrun by the undead, only Gulfport, Mississippi, offers sanctuary...for a price: subservience to a fascist dictator and his brutal enforcers. But their reign of terror will soon be challenged—by rebels hungry for vengeance and invaders bent on conquest.

      The characters were great especially Luculis (sp?) the cat! Got really attached to them was sorry when it ended.
    • 5/5
      What an incredible adventure! This author captures the horror and hope of a post apocalyptic world. While some zombie stories are shallow and cheesy, this one contains many truly profound moments that had a real effect on me.
    • 5/5
      Really great book, and really hate for it to end.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely brilliant. The gruesomeness, the suspense, the pacing make this one of the best apocalypse stories. It exposes humanities' nature through the eyes of different characters. All in all, great finale.
    • 5/5
      Great series! I’m hoping to find some more of his work!
    • 5/5
      Thrilling series with a hopeful ending.
      Very nice to hear from authors and stories not based in the US esp apocalypse genre.

      The characters are fleshed out and complicated. Most importantly the cat lives!

      It was awful. The first book in the series was pretty good, the second was bareable, but I found myself dreading having to listen to the third once I started it. Prit was a well written character who was the only reason I even bothered to continue the series, he was a real hero and I feel as if the situations the MC got himself into were in no regard to his friend. The romance between him and Lucia felt extremely forced, and I disliked him quite a bit after he was attracted to her AT 17!! The whole concept of the south resorting to slavery was dumb, even as a non-american I was pissed off by it. The unnecessary scene where Alejandra was raped by the green guards made me sick. I almost had to stop there. I don't care if it wanted to feel "gritty and real" it was horrible to have to read about. She was a much more likeable character than a lot of the other cast. I found myself loving anyone who wasn't a blatant bad guy, or our main character, because they felt better written than him at all times with more personality and drive. Plus, they were more capable and had some self preservation.
      Don't even get me started on the useless North Korean plotline. It felt like it was just used for filler.
      Prit's death was the tipping point for me. Since I was then stuck with only the main character it became torture to finish the Series. I had predicted he would die because why would the author kill off his main character hes clearly so attached to, and his much younger wife. I honestly feel the Series would have been more interesting if it consisted of Prit and Lucia dealing with the grief of losing the MC, and turning that into drive to overcome all their obstacles. They could have had a sort of father/daughter dynamic, or just a mentor and his student. I feel it would have been a lot more interesting than listening to MC groan on and on.
      The fact the name of the MC is revealed to be the authors made me physically sigh in frustration. Of course it was basically his self-insert. I have no problem with authors doing this to be honest when it's DONE WELL. The first book was a good example of that, when he was actually likeable enough. By the end hes got a wet cardboard personality and I'd have been more entertained eating sandpaper than listen to him complain about how sad and helpless he feels.
      The voice acting for the audiobook was amazing though, they did the series some justice. I wouldn't have been able to get through it just reading. They had an incredible range and it was the most enjoyable part of the last book.

      Overall this was a good series. I thought the third book jumped around a lot and made it difficult to keep with. The ending was rather graphic with the soldiers and what they did to the woman.

      The Wrath of the Just by Manel Loureiro is the final book in his zombie apocalyptic story. This book continues the adventures of the threesome that have been in every book, the Spanish lawyer, the love of his life, Lucia and his best friend, the Russian helicopter pilot. The book ends on a positive note, but there is still plenty of trouble and adventure for the three to experience before we reach that end.After escaping from the Canary Islands they are picked up during a storm at sea by a huge tanker and taken to Gulfport, Mississippi where a racist religious zealot has established a colony. Aided by a group of brutal Aryan Nation enforcers, only subservient white people can live in comfort here, any black, brown, yellow or red people are treated like slaves and send out to face the undead in order to bring home goods for the colony. One good thing has come about however in that some scientists that live here have developed, not a cure, but a drug that keeps one from transforming into an undead. This along with the fact that the undead are starting to fall apart gives our main characters plenty of hope for the future. Unfortunately, we also find that the isolated country of North Korea has managed to stay intact and upon learning about the oil that Gulfport has, sends an expedition to obtain that oil.I enjoyed this trilogy, but as per usual with zombie stories, after the first book, it isn’t the undead that the living have to fear, but other humans. The author did a good job of showing the devastation that could occur and kept the danger level high throughout all three books. The writing was adequate for this type of story, but I do wish that the author would have developed his female character into a stronger more independent person rather than the clingy afterthought she became.
