Soundtrack to the End of the World

De: Anthony J. Rapino

Narrado por: Eric Bryan Moore

A suicidal nudist strolls into traffic. An eccentric Buddhist claims he can occupy other people's bodies. All the while, whispers of a new form of entertainment blow through town. Prompted by these strange occurrences, Marty Raft, a not-so-gentle giant, investigates and discovers underground clubs peddling music that induces an out-of-body experience. Marty and a wannabe comedian, Corey, set out to prove these special frequencies are nothing more than a hoax, or at worst, a mass-drugging. Instead, they uncover a secret with world-ending possibilities. If you can hear the music, it's already too late.

Soundtrack to a great read

I loved this book! Anthony provided a great atmosphere! Entertaining from start to finish.

A nice surprise!

I got this title on sale some time ago and decided to give it a try. Although this is not my regular genre and I almost quit listening a couple chapters in, I pressed on and am glad I did. The writing surprised me with good character building and a dystopian plot with a different take on the end of the world.

The narrator did a nice job with the pace and inflections even with both male and female characters.

Highly recommended

Completely original take on zombies
Fantastic characters with great music taste and special talents this holds your attention till the end
Excellent narration and perfect for the zombie fan looking for something new
I received a free review audiobook and voluntarily left this review

A brilliant and unique take on a classic genre

Soundtrack to the End of the World is a great story with a really interesting premise that makes it something unique and well worth reading. I’m going to try not to spoil it too much because part of the enjoyment of the book is in the unraveling of the mystery, but I have to say that it is very different from your typical zombie apocalypse novels. The separation from the traditional and predictable elements is smart and refreshing. If zombie apocalypse books aren’t your thing, you really should give this book a try. If the stories in that genre are your thing, then you REALLY have to give this book a try. I gave it a shot because I received the book for free, but after I finished it, I have no doubt I would have purchased it if I had known how good it was.

In addition to the interesting premise, Rapino just writes a damn good story. The characters had a nice depth to them, the plot development had a balanced pace, and there were plenty of twists and turns along the way that kept me engaged and interested. The ending left me with some unanswered questions, but I think the mystery was intended. As the book comes to a close, the audience and the characters are left with a shared uncanny sense of puzzlement over the events that occurred over the course of the narrative. You will be disappointed if you read the book thinking all the mysteries will be revealed at the end.

This is the second book I’ve listened to that was narrated by Eric Moore and he’s given a consistently great performance both times. He’s got some talent producing a wide range of voices for different characters, including both male and female characters that is convincing. His tone adds to the suspense and mystery to books like the Soundtrack to the End of the World. I’d recommend giving any book he narrates a try.

Great Story

A different take on zombies. A must read/listen to those that are fans of the genre. You will not be disappointed.
