À propos de cet audio
On Zero Day of the first and last cyberwar in human history the internet went dark, transport and power grids collapsed and cities began to starve. Ten days later millions have died from thirst and starvation, from violence and from the simple failure of the world’s machines to keep them alive.
This second installment of John Birmingham’s End of Days trilogy finds James O’Donnell and his friends Rick, Michelle and Melissa hunkered down in the wilderness, where they know a horde of starving, desperate exiles from the graveyard of the US East Coast is heading their way.
On the far side of the continent, in the Pacific Northwest, Jonas Murdoch helps lead the good folk of Silverton in defending themselves from waves of starving and desperate refugees pouring out of Seattle.
And slowly, cautiously navigating the inland waterways of California, Jodi Sarjanan and Ellie Jabbarah negotiate an apocalyptic landscape of burning skyscrapers and marauding gangs.
All of them are seeking sanctuary. A safe place where the madness hasn’t penetrated. But does such a place exist?
And what if they need to sacrifice their very humanity in the struggle to reach it?

- Why do all the dogs run in circles when excited? I’ve had several dogs and none were “circlers”. I can’t help but assume that Mr. Birmingham had a bad experience with some dog running in circles around him.
- On that same note, what’s with all the barking? Does Mr. Birmingham assume that if you’re a dog that you bark ALL the time? If that’s the case, then bring on the cats and parakeets for a virtual cacophony.
- How is it that brakes have to be pumped on all vehicles, yet every other feature is modern and state of the art? Everyone knows that ABS will not allow a driver to pump the brakes.
- Why do all the male characters use catch phrases (to the point of using the same words for every character) like “testify”, etc., but the women don’t?
- Why aren’t the women relied upon for major decisions? Sure, they’re consulted, but every decision is ultimately deferred to a male.
These are just a few, and except for how women are portrayed, pretty minor. However after reading three of Birmingham’s novels, these idiosyncrasies get tiresome.
Last, the narration for these novels is beyond compare.
Excellent story, but…
