Histoire
Survival in Man’s Second Dark Age...Three hundred years after the fall of society, the last fragments of civilization are clinging to life, living in the ruins of the ancient cities in nearly-medieval conditions. Technology has been reduced to legend, monsters roam the forests, and fear reigns supreme. But that is just the beginning...The wind-borne spores are spreading, disfiguring men and twisting their minds, turning them into creatures that threaten to destroy the townships.

Histoire
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

Histoire
For dinosaurs, it was a big rock. For humans: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When the Earth is hit by the greatest CME in recorded history (several times larger than the Carrington Event of 1859), the combined societies of the planet's most developed nations struggle to adapt to a life thrust back into the Dark Ages. In the United States, the military scrambles to speed the nation's recovery on multiple fronts including putting down riots, establishing relief camps, delivering medical aid, and bringing communication and travel back on line. Just as a real foothold is established in retaking the skies (utilizing existing commercial aircraft supplemented by military resources and ground control systems), a mysterious virus takes hold of the population, spreading globally over the very flight routes that the survivors fought so hard to rebuild.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

The Alt Apocalypse is the ground-breaking, genre-bending series from Tom Abrahams. It explores survival under the most extreme circumstances, but with a twist (and no cliff-hangers). This series, which can be listened to in any order, features the same core characters in each complete story. But every book dunks them into a new, alternate apocalypse; a nuclear holocaust, an earthquake, a flood, a wildfire, a hurricane, a plague, and even zombies.

Histoire
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Description
Survivors of an apocalypse take refuge in a mountain fortress and face enemies both living and undead in the first three books of this horror series.
Mountain Man: Ever since civilization collapsed in a wave of chaos and blood, Gus Berry has been waking up, getting drunk, and preparing for the day when “they” will come up the side of his mountain. But when Gus encounters another survivor while out scavenging for supplies, he realizes there are other threats on the post-apocalyptic horizon.
Safari: Living on the outskirts of a zombie-infested city, Gus has grown accustomed to the perils he faces on a daily basis. But now the zombies are disappearing, and a mysterious new threat is assembling—something even more relentless and terrifying than the roaming tides of dead flesh. And it’s preparing to hunt . . .
Hellifax: In a world overrun with zombies, Scott is hunting a remorseless killer who’s all too human. Following the murderer from Annapolis to the ice-glazed landscape of Halifax, Scott encounters half-frozen deadheads, infected vermin, and a few remaining survivors struggling to find safety. Welcome to Hellifax.

An entertaining story and fantastic performance
I am a big fan of this author and this narrator. They are a perfect pairing. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the mountain man, a unique survival story in a saturated genre. I highly recommend this collection. Every once and a while when absorbed in the story I would be right there with Gus and the Captain sipping on some Scotch. #Audible1

Different
I really liked this book and as my first foray into the zombie genre, I was impressed. 3 books for the price of one was also a very good deal.
R.C. Bray aces the narration as usual. I chose books that I normally wouldn't be interested in, based on the fact that he's the narrator, hence first zombie book.
I found Gus intriguing and as slow as the book seemed at times, it kept drawing me in and I could hardly wait to listen to it.
I recommend taking a chance on this book. Action, character growth and a few unexpected twists and turns kept me listening.
I could almost smell the zombies

Enjoyable, if typical, Zombie fun
Face it, 'Hellifax' will never make the list for Canada Reads. You won't be studying 'Safari' in your Adv Lit classes. This is, on it's face, a pretty standard zombie apocalypse story - go to town for supplies, kill some zombies, fight some bad survivors, befriend some good ones - but "Mountain Man" has some features that make it far better than many books in the genre.
First is Blackmore's writing. The man writes amazingly vivid scenes. His descriptions of battles, in particular, are fantastic, easily visualized with great pacing, tension, and even humor. He clearly enjoys the subject matter and recognizes how actually absurd this premise is. It's not parody, but he joyfully doesn't take his story too seriously. I mean, come on. It's a Zombie story, not classic literature. Blackwood understands that.
Unfortunately, his style does have some flaws, particularly his apparent fascination with genital scratching and pooping.
Also, the number of oh-so-nearly fatal experiences seems a little excessive. I found myself hoping at times that Blackmore would show the courage to pull a G.R.R.Martin and kill off one of his guys. Not so much in these tales.
And why are there so many psychopaths in Blackmore's world? Are crazy people more likely to survive? Or does surviving drive you insane? Thought provoking.
The combination of an almost tongue-in-cheek approach, mind's-eye description, and some philosophical questions is intriguing, entertaining and refreshing.
The second pretty unique aspect of the stories: the setting is SUBURBAN NOVA SCOTIA! Zombie Apocalypse in small town Canada, hordes in the dead of a Canadian winter. Awesome.
Third, Blackmore's characters are fairly unique...not quite antiheroes but very flawed protagonists. Neither terribly clever nor brave, Gus is out of shape and alcoholic. Scott is more of a typical 'hero', but remains a tortured man and a bit of a wuss. While decent fellows, neither are really all that nice. They're relatable, something attempted but not often successful in zombie stories.
Lastly, R.C. Bray is a masterful narrator. This is the first time I've listened to a performance and considered buying a book just because this guy is reading it (though I love Michael Kramer and Roy Dotrice).
One very small issue. Why can't any Non-Canadian say the word "toque"?
All in all, an exceptional collection of novels. 8.5 Stars out of 10.

so for one sound suppressors are completely illegal in Canada also both the gun and the ammo have to be locked up separately and are definitely not allowed on display

Zombies done right !!
The narration is wonderful and the characters are well thought out.
There wasn't any part of the books where I was bored or lost interest and I powered through the series wanting to know what happened.
I would highly recommend this set of 3 novels if you like zombie stories because they are well written and enjoyable to listen to.

Good story, great narrative, details need work
If you like zombie fiction, you cannot go wrong with Keith Blackmore. He is one of the best, however, at the risk of being one of those jerks who have to nit-pick about the details, he falls short with these novels. I have read this series a couple of times and just finished listening and cannot get past the errors he has made with Nova Scotia’s infrastructure. Sure, you can imagine a lot has changed, but it’s the little things like highway routes, distances and the city layout. Some of it simply doesn’t make sense and smacks of laziness due to just not checking or rechecking facts. It’s a shame. Oh, and Tramacet has *325mg* acetaminophen, NOT 335mg.

I’ll gladly share these books with some friends, cause I enjoyed this story from start to finish, and I loved how the story explained situations well, making you really picture beautiful, and disgusting things at the same time, and even funny, in a dark way sometimes.

More morbid fun in the Annapolis Valley!
Makes you want to live here, eh? Zombies and zombie rats notwithstanding.
I've really liked this series, with the exception of Book 2 Safari, which I fairly hated, hence a lower rating than usual.
I'm from NS, Mom from the Valley and Dad not far from Tancook Island, so this was a fun romp through our rather strangely inhabited yards for Maritimers. The author has his geography a bit mixed up, and the funniest thing is ole South Mountain is pretty much a hill, but I digress. All in all, unless you are from here, you wouldn't know the difference anyway.
I take issue with a couple things, while trying not to spoil it. God love him he tries but RC Bray makes Newfoundlands sound a bit like demented leprechauns! He gave it a go and then wisely stopped, to understand how a Newfie talks, say Jaysus, say Bye, and we're good me son.
The other thing I take issue with is the use of "Sound suppressors" which we simply do not have in Canada, we aren't Amer-icans, we don't love our guns here in the North. Most don't own a gun, most wouldn't. I understand the writer is trying to appeal to a certain genre, and that genre tends to love guns and battles, but it's hardly indicative of 98% of Canadians. I have a rifle because I have livestock and predators, but we're probably the only gun in our rural neighbourhood.
But into the meat and potatoes of the books, I disliked Book 2 because it made no sense for Gus to lose his mind and start having long and often tedious conversations with the foppish Captain Morgain, and it makes no sense that he would burn down his place after burning the mythological city of Annapolis. I did not "get" the premise there at all. And then book 3 had nothing of Gus at all. While it was a good story, I hated they had to give Scott a love interest when he and Gus were great together. It does get a bit tedious with all the hiding and running and fighting...I just didn't think it was necessary to the story. Oddly enough, women also read this genre or at least I think so. It isn't all about guns.
Funny, I'm listening to an RE McDermott trilogy, and he just made reference in conversation to "Burning down the house, to kill all the rats", as I finish this review. That one's coming. Have many of the same criticisms.
And while I don't know much about zombie rats, I do understand real not dead rats. Real rats live underground, feed in a different area than they live and generally nest in yet another area, generally within 100 feet of their food source. They tend to make bolt holes every 2-4 feet in my chicken barns, they don't like to be above ground except when feeding. Now wit zombie rats, I guess all bets are off...
I have the last book of the series ready to cue up and I'll wrap up this series. It was fun. RC Bray was mostly awesome--the writing is often quite witty and not so juvenile as most drivel we get from this genre...I enjoyed it. It wasn't the worst in the genre. Probably wasn't the best, either.

Simply a amazing horror book!
It had everything from small romance to dramaticly graphic horror signs that will make your skin crawl!

One Credit, Three Great Books
First, let me say these are great Zombie books at regular price, the fact that two of them are basically free is a great deal. You can spend three credits or three times the money, for the price of this one omnibus. Even if you did not like the first book, you would only be out one credit. The even greater thing about this series, is that you can get, The Hospital, for free. Get that and if you don't love it, don't buy the omnibus. If you like The Hospital, you will like these three books.
Gus is the star of the first two books. He is a regular guy, no solider, no special training, everything he knows he learned watching movies from the Seventies and Eighties. He scratches his junk, worries about his bowel movements and does a lot of drinking. A lot of drinking. EVERY MORNING I SQUEEZE PIPE. I enjoyed the second book, Safari the most. Gus is pretty much the only character. We kind of watch him go mad. He has lived alone for a long time and his best friend his a bottle of Captain Morgan. It is kind of like Tom Hanks in Castaway and his soccer ball. There is a lot of language and a lot of gore.
The third book is great, but not as good as the first two. Scott is the main character and he is just not as interesting as Gus. There are some slow parts or some shoot-em up parts that bored me, but not many. This book is grosser then the first two and has some well written scenes. When Scott takes a walk with the Zombies and starts to panic, I almost had a panic attack with him. Very well written. The third book especially, you want to listen in as large as chunks as possible. The longer you listen the more you become part of the characters. Anytime you quit and come back, it takes a little while to get that involved again. I actually missed an exit once, I was so into the story.
Bray is perfect, perfect, perfect.

The Earth Abides
My opinion may get lost in the hordes other reviews already swarming around this three-in-one book. Still, I'll pitch a tiny squeak into the clamoring accolades because, other than serving my ego, it might be worth it to anyone who is familiar with the classic novel Earth Abides, which is a 1949 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by George R. Steward.
There is strong parallelism between Blackmore's Mountain Man Omnibus: Books 1-3 and Steward's Earth Abides. While Earth Abides has nothing to do with zombies, the main character is a force of nature or force of something other than a person. In the Mountain Man Omnibus series, an apocalyptic event is also the character. Steward is asserted to be the father of this approach/sub-genre. Certainly, Steward he created and opened a portal that a select few like Blackmore have skillfully, impressively stepped through. More pointedly though, is Blackmore's adept characterization of a very specific sub-event that takes place, with recognizable similarity, in Steward's Earth Abides' world. My intent is not to give anything away so I'll swerve miles clear of that and stop right there.
Also, I do not mean my comment as a criticism of Blackmore as he gave renewed life and fresh identity to work that, while precious and classic, is very likely now under-read and under-appreciated. Blackmore proffers plenty of never-before exposed (perhaps that phrase is too strong but you know what I mean) terrain to keep the Omnibus journey feeling garden fresh, and he certain brings a unique voice to the genre. I compliment him on being well-read and for evidently holding George R. Steward's work in high regard. The best form of flattery is imitation...
As for me, I hold them both in high regard. Blackmore is certainly smart by avoiding reinvention of Steward's wheel, and instead making it shimmer anew in brilliant light.
The narration was superb. R. C. Bray kept it personal and read as if the story were his own.

45 minutes and .... really?
I love a great post-apocalyptic story with interesting characters. But when the main character ‘scratches his balls’ four times in 45 minutes, I can’t take the story seriously.

Great read, keeps you engaged
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It's a great read if you're into zombie books. I found reasons to have alone time or take long drives because I wanted to hear how it turned out.
What did you like best about this story?
I was interested in the characters and their development; made me root for certain characters and despise others (oh, and the action wasn't bad either!). It was like watching a great mini series where you really can't wait for the next episode to see what happens next.
What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?
As usual, amazing. I've started choosing books solely because he's the narrator.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It's a zombie book...so no. :-)
Any additional comments?
Good read if you want to take a mental break and hear a great action story.

Canadian Walking Dead - Eh
If you like the Walking Dead and don't mind 27 hours of one dimensional story telling, this Omnibus is for you. Don't get me wrong, the books are entertaining and the writing is reasonable, but zombie skull crushing and endless "kill or be killed" situations, can only go so far. Best thing about this book is the Credit to Entertainment ratio, which is actually very high. As far as the performance goes, in these types of genres, RC Bray is always the best. So go ahead and indulge - even though I rate it 3 stars, you definitely get your credit's worth. Just don't expect to go around saying "I listened to this amazing book".

Meh.
This is a very manly man sort of zompoc lit, which is fine if scratching balls and drinking and crushing of heads and serial killer torture is your sort of bag.
There's some really problematic stuff with a female character at one point. The way the narrator talks about her (and treats her) was really off-putting. I stopped listening at that point. Before that, it was sort of just okay, not great but not so bad that I stopped listening, but at that point, I gave up.
I think that this is simply geared at a different sort of audience, with all of these glowing reviews. But it was definitely not my style.

unexpected!!
If you could sum up The Mountain Man Omnibus in three words, what would they be?
Did not think I would enjoy these books as zombies are not my thing... However, these books are wonderful!
I downloaded the free copy of the hospital and was hooked from there!

I was sucked in immediately and couldn’t stop
This is a compelation of the reviews we did for the books contained in the Mountain Man Omnibus collection.
Mountain Man
I have been having a difficult time lately. People have been getting on my nerves easier than usual, and it’s creating anger at the forefront, as opposed to my usual happy-go-lucky attitude.
I’m not sure what it is. Maybe all the horror and zombie stories are taking their toll on me? I highly doubt that — they are my refuge and only escape from reality – a reality I’d rather not deal with currently.
So, I am counting on Podium Publishing’s R.C Bray and Keith C. Blackmore to scoop me up and take me away, much like Calgon.
All of the euphemisms for toilet paper in this audiobook stuck out to me: Crap Wrap, Ass Wipe, TP, Apocalypse Gold and Anal Gold. These names I’ve never heard of had me rolling around laughing in my work chair and almost made my Asian noodles shoot out my nose.
Augustus “Gus” Berry is back for a full-length adventure. Remember, we first met him in The Hospital, and some time has passed since this debauch. For a moment early on, I thought this was going to be a story of one man’s quest, in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, to find all the remaining pillowy softness a guy could want. Now we get to really know what Gus is all about.
When you break this story down, it’s really all about survival. One man’s struggle to be comfortable while at home. Yes, this does take a considerable amount of work for Gus to keep the food, water, crap wrap, oh and don’t forget his booze supplies, to their maximum.
We get to follow Gus on several of these supply runs and experience the close calls, the elation and the terror as he does. Then the inevitable day comes when he encounters actual living people, something that hasn’t happened for a while. Now there are two.
The secondary story of the Mountain Man is one of love, and not romance, but rather the kind of wordless brotherly love that I have only seen between two men. Until a third person enters the story.
Blackmore wasn’t able to fool me with his plot twists, as I saw most of them coming, but that did not take away at all from the great survival story with zombies. This was not about, mainly anyways, how cruel and brutal humans can be in a zombie apocalypse, like most in this genre.
I was sucked in almost immediately and couldn’t stop listening. I want more Mountain Man!
R.C. Bray is as much Gus Berry as Ray Porter is Joe Ledger. While characterizations and dialog may not be Bray’s strongest points, his solid delivery, great pacing, and embodiment of the main character are definitely off the charts.
There is not much to say that I haven’t already in other reviews of Bray’s work. I will say this, if you have not had the pleasure to listen to one of his performances, please do yourself a favor and listen to one now. I have yet to be disappointed.
Also, if you have been shying away from any audiobook because you have not heard of the narrator, do everyone a favor and listen to it anyway. As you may have just found an undiscovered, diamond in the rough like Bray that will make you smile or bring you to tears.
Safari
Gus was badly hurt, between Roxann and the bikers he has sustained broken teeth, cracked ribs and other injuries. To ease his pain he found his best friend, Captain Morgan, and had a drink, or two, or three.
At the start of a cold winter Gus is hurt and alone, again. This is how book 2 starts as we continue to follow Gus’s will to survive. Through the coming months he slowly heals. During this time he drops down the well of despair and loneliness. He has long conversations with a bottle of Captain Morgan rum. Still needing supplies he makes trips to town in the truck the bikers left at his gate.
Except for Scott, every “normal” human he meets has tried to kill him. Now he doesn’t think twice about killing in self-defense. As his sanity spirals down he makes plans to get rid of all the zombies in Annapolis.
To his horror it is not only the zombies that are a threat, a new, even more deadly terror has risen.
I listened to this book straight through. Well, almost, straight through. The pace was fairly fast and the action was vicious. More problems and plot twists. The characters in this part of the story were what we could expect when the basic rules of humanity are gone. I found this part very believable and well developed.
Mr. Bray did a splendid job of bringing this book to life. I didn’t have a problem with his voices and liked the tone of his telling. Everything was clear and easy to understand. The book cover gives you the jist of this book. Audio production was without fault. Very well done. Book 3 here I come.
Hellifax
In this installment we start with a caravan of vans on the trans-Canadian highway. The men inside were rough, dirty, mean, and wore a variety of protective gear. Calling themselves “Norsemen” with a leader named Fist. He had been sent from the West coast to check out the east coast for supplies, survivors, and zombies. Their goal was to get information, procure everything they could, and kill zombies. They were headed to Hellifax.
Scott had finally made it to the city. He arrived during a vicious blizzard. When the snow finally stopped it was very deep with high drifts. He left his SUV parked at an empty house and headed toward town. It was there that he met Amy and her friends. One of them was named Tanner. A lot of grizzly things happen after this.
Tanner arrived in Hellifax and started doing his thing. He had decided to take out the members of Amy’s group one at a time. It didn’t work out that way.
As Scott and Amy’s group head out for his SUV Tanner discovers why all the zombies are leaving town. That is when he decided to leave also.
Toward the end of town the Norsemen, Scott’s group and Tanner will engage. Who do you think will live?
Extremely well developed story lines. Full of fast paced action. This series just keeps getting better and better.
Mr. Bray did his usual splendid job of bringing this book to life. I didn’t have a problem with his voices and he really got into at times. Everything was clear and easy to understand. Audio production was without fault. I really liked the book cover too. It is perfect for this story.

A break from the same old zombie fiction.
At first I found it hard to relate to Gus. After a few near death encounters, you really start to get the guy. Same with Scott. As you progress through the story, each character is developed nicely. Until you know the whole crowd pretty well. The good guys have it tough, but justice prevails...there are worse things than zombies in this book and they get what's coming to them.

Great take on a zombie tale
I just have to say that R.C. Bray is the best narrator out there. He makes the stories pop as if you’re listening to 20 different people. Great job.
