has great potential

What made the experience of listening to The Tide the most enjoyable?

attention to medical detail, apocalyptic sci-fi story with man versus humanoids which aren't typically zombie

What did you like best about this story?

a lot of action, fast moving and globe-trotting

Have you listened to any of Ryan Kennard Burke’s other performances? How does this one compare?

the performance was a little lacklustre, there was no excitement during the action scenes and some of the other characters voices sounded a bit comical

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

aim for their face!

Any additional comments?

really enjoyed this story, a couple of inconsistencies, over-simplified writing, some scenes rushed and the characters interaction hard to believe, but the story was great, the bio-medical, geography, history and detail to props were really enjoyable to listen to.

Good start to the acopalypse

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, the first by Anthony J Melchiorri that I have read/ listened to. The story develops at a good pace with a complimentary mix of action scenes, scientific development and characterisation. A group of covert private military contractors (The Hunters) discover the escape of biological agent that turns anyone infected into aggressive crazed killers. These killers also develop bone like structures on their bodies and their nails grow into dangerous talons. These growths lead the team to nickname them ‘skulls’. Early investigations prove that the agent is not airborne but rather spreads through direct contact with an infected person via scratches /bites etc.
Dominic Holland who leaders the Hunters is desperate to find and if necessary rescue his daughters sets out on a dual purpose mission. In part it is a straight rescue mission, but owing to their nearness to the Fort Detrick (home base of USAMRID) he hopes to share what they have discovered about the agent, its origins in WWII Japan and any potential ways of fighting it that they have uncovered in the hopes that between them they can put a stop to the infection whilst they are any members of the human race left to save. The only problem is that between his ship and his girls lie an army of crazed, flesh hungry monsters, can he reach them in time?
There are certainly similarities between this series and Extinction by Nicholas Sansbury Smith which for me is not a bad thing. Whilst I don’t mind the traditional zombie storyline this type of genetic changes story without the monster rising from the dead makes a nice change.
Ryan Kennard Burke narrates this story and does a fine job, for me a good narrator is almost someone you don’t notice. If you are always thinking about the style, voice, pitch or other effects being produce this takes away from the story. Burke simply takes the listener on for wild ride through the start of an apocalyptic event.
