The Zulu Virus Chronicles Boxset (Books 1-3): A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller

By: Steven Konkoly

Narrated by: Charles Hubbell

This audiobook includes the entire Zulu Virus Chronicles series in one boxset. Tons of chilling, post-apocalyptic thriller action and suspense.

Something insidious has arrived - right in the heartland of our nation, turning neighbor against neighbor!.

Dr. Lauren Hale, a new hospital resident, is nearly killed by a raving mad emergency room patient, in a senseless, unprovoked attack.

Officer David Olson, veteran cop and former Marine, returns from a father-son camping trip to discover that his ex-wife has vanished under bizarre circumstances, and his police department is on the verge of collapse.

Jack and Emma Harper, a young, upwardly mobile couple, find their hip city neighborhood rapidly descending into madness.

Dr. Eugene Chang, a research scientist for a major pharmaceutical company, makes a shocking discovery that might explain the spreading wave of illness and violence gripping the city. Eric Larsen, leader of a top-secret, rapid-response unit, circles high above the Midwest, in an unmarked military transport. Mission still unknown, his team waits to parachute into the night.

Within 24 hours, complete strangers from different walks of life will be forced to join together to survive the living nightmare that has been unleashed on their city - and their country.

This is their story.

Welcome to the Zulu Virus Chronicles!

Get to the point!

I'm well into the second book in this trilogy and am exhausted with all the military, shoot-'em-up action. I thought this was going to be much more thoughtful or at least much more centered on a virus plot line. I'm returning it.

Superb!

My first audio book and it was awesome! Thank you to Steven Konkoly for an phenomenal story, and to Charles Hubbell for top notch narration. I wish the story was longer! Thanks again, I'll be looking forward to more work from both of you!

Loved It.

Very likeable characters with a great story which kept me interested and really enjoying the ride.

Awesome series of books!!!

Awesome series of books. Not predictable for the most part. Rarely has 20 plus hours passed this fast for me.

A great story... but there's a "but"

I really enjoyed the story, the story telling and the characters in this trilogy. Top notch. But this was the first time that I struggled with some of the writing and narration in a Konkoly book, after reading (and listening to) many of them.

With the entire series based in Indiana, the author would have been well served to spend a couple weeks there, doing some basic research. If he'd done that, he'd have known that NO ONE there refers to highways using "the" as in, "the 465", which is used over and over in the series. That's a west coast thing, and doesn't happen in the Midwest. Carmel Indiana is pronounced CAR-mul, not car-MEL... another west coast thing that was mistakenly attributed to the Midwest. As a reader (listening), I frequently caught myself saying, "What did that character just say??"... that was distracting.

As to the narration.... the country-ass southern drawl that was used for many of the characters was totally out of place for a story based in Indianapolis. Listening to those accents, it would be reasonable to believe it was Mississippi or Alabama. Those accents were as misplaced as it would have been in making one of those tough soldiers in the story sound like a west coast valley girl.

This was a GREAT story, but the misses in the speech patterns, regionalisms and accents became distractions that made me wish I'd enjoyed this story in print rather than audio book.
