Publisher's summary
Feed is an electrifying and critically acclaimed novel of a world a half-step from our own that the New York Times calls “Astonishing” a novel of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all - from New York Times best seller Mira Grant.
The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beat the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: Feed.
Now, 20 years after the Rising, Georgia, and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives - the dark conspiracy behind the infected. The truth will out, even if it kills them.

When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.

The world of Faerie never disappeared: it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. Half-human, half-fae, outsiders from birth, these second-class children of Faerie spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations.

We think we understand the laws of physics. We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened.

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

An invisible killer has returned. The last time it raged, upward of 40 million died - in a matter of months. Now it is back, released to prey on an unsuspecting, unprotected world. The first case appears on a flawless spring morning, initially diagnosed as a common cold - perhaps a mild flu. Then the deaths begin. Beck Casey, an expert on biological warfare, is called back to his former CIA post to unravel the twisted case... and to discover if a vaccine exists. But Casey's potential allies to save the future are the worst enemies from his past.

Three terrorist attacks are launched from freighters against the United States. Only one fully succeeds, but in the blink of an eye all of the country west of the Rocky Mountains is transformed into the technological equivalent of the 18th century - no electricity, no computers, no electronics of anykind, or any of the amenities of modern life that depend on them. This is the story of ordinary and extraordinary people, high and low, who struggle to survive in a mortally wounded nation, as America's enemies within and without circle for the kill.

From its first moments, Hunter takes you on a nonstop thrill ride: from the top floor of the CIA, to the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill...from the posh hotels of downtown Washington, to the city's mean, violent streets. It introduces a colorful new hero for our time - and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal. A spy mystery...a crime thriller...a passionate romance: Hunter is a genre-bending novel unlike any you've read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace.

From Dan Wells, author of the New York Times best-selling Partials Sequence, comes the first book in a new sci-fi-noir series. Los Angeles in 2050 is a city of open doors, as long as you have the right connections. That connection is a djinni - a smart device implanted right in a person's head. In a world where virtually everyone is online 24 hours a day, this connection is like oxygen - and a world like that presents plenty of opportunities for someone who knows how to manipulate it.

Vaccination and treatment are widely available. There are still monsters left to fight, but the old ones, the simple ones, trouble us no more. Or so we thought. For with the reduction in danger comes the erosion of memory, as pandemics fade from memory into story into fairy tale. Those old diseases can't have been so bad, people say, or we wouldn't be here to talk about them. They're never coming back.... It begins with a fever.

a near-future immersive America
I'm not big on the zombie genre, but I do like sci fi/fantasy, so I gave this book a chance. There are weaknesses - virus levels are measured in microns (a unit of length, not of number or concentration), internal inconsistencies, the villain at the end acts out a cliche that makes no sense in context (despite the speech he gives to indicate murderous insanity) - but despite all these flaws, I just wanted to keep listening. The author paints vivid pictures in an America just a few decades from now where (suspend disbelief) technology has progressed stunningly in response to a virus that creates "night of the living dead"-like zombies through a (suspend disbelief) lab-engineered mutation of the common cold. The fact that zombie-ism is contagious, and that transformation isn't immediate, is central to the plot, but the contradictions between the virus origin story and the way it behaves made me think that an origin story actually subtracts from the plot. So just power through the parts where the book's version of virology is discussed, and power through ridiculous scenes like the narrator taking the time to explain her brother's dating history during a zombie mob attack, and immerse yourself in an interesting thriller where the journalists are targeted because they tell the truth, and the harshness of a zombie-filled world forces people to horrible, soul-dimming acts of mercy and love and self-protection. "Sophie's Choice" with a virus instead of Nazis.

Political journalism in a zombified world
Most zombie stories are about the apocalypse and subsequent collapse of human civilization. This story presumes that life will go on because reanimation is just another disease, like small pox and cancer, that people need to worry about dying from but doesn't stop them from living.
Which means we still hold elections, and elections need to be covered by the journalists of the 21st century, the ones on news websites. And in 2040, there is a backroom conspiracy to manipulate the choice of the people.
A good political thriller set against the backdrop of zombies instead of the Cold War or Global War on Terrorism. Clever, well presented, and fascinating to contemplate.

Yes, it's well worth a credit.
First of all...I am not a huge zombie fan, not that I don't like them, but that's not what drew me here. I am a huge sci-fi fan though. The negative comments seem to be from people only wanting a zombie book. I get it. But that aside, it's a pretty good read(listen). While the narrator isn't going into my top 5, she's not bad. And I wasn't bothered by a lisp at all, I actually listened for it and still didn't feel like it was Cindy Brady. Mira Grant is a pen name for Seanan Mcguire, an author I found and devoured all the books in her series,(Rosemary and Rue is the first, highly recommend it) went looking for more and stumbled on these. The Characters are well thought out and have a good amount of depth. I'm going now to purchase the next book. I say give it a chance if your not looking for a straight up zombie book, but a good sci-fi book.

Great characters, superb performance
A bit of everything: post-apocalyptic America, politics, conspiracy, blogging, and of course the undead. I was immediately drawn to the main characters, they are all likeable and I found myself rooting for them. The story isn't crazy complicated, but you don't see everything coming either. A good, light-hearted listen (if you consider blasting zombies in the head light-hearted) that kept my attention but didn't make me think too much. The narrators do a superb job (one sub-par English accent can be forgiven).

Slow at 1st but pics up steam pretty quick.
The 1st few chapters lays the foundation for the rest of the story. If you can endure it, this is not your typical zombie apocalypse book. Unlike most zombie stories that depict a ravaged almost Mad Maxx kind of world, this one depicts it as just one of the so many things society has had to deal with. Society marches on with a thriving government. nothing collapsed.
If you like high tech, conspiracy theories, political drama, bloggers, and the occasional zombie to poke at with a stick, stay on for the long haul. A lot of research was put into this story and it pays.

Good book
What made the experience of listening to Feed the most enjoyable?
I was a little surprised with this one. I was expecting some corny zombie book however it turned out to be quite good. It had a bit of everything mixed in. Even though it's a series you don't have to listen to the next ones as it doesn't leave you on a open ended or cliffhanger, which is always good.

Interesting...
This book is very intriguing at most. The concepts of life in a post apocalyptic internet rich world of zombies are very cool. Being a blogger so to speak myself, I thought the mix of how technology and the internet works today carried over very well in relation to how things work in the book. But I found this book hard at time's to listen to. The constant over analization and self reflection gets annoying. For all the little bits and pieces you get of actual action and scenes playing out in the book, you get 25 minutes of drawn out explanations of self reflection and in depth description of characters and their relations to the main character. The overall picture you get of the world is great, but there was time's I felt pulled out of the book to think about things and speculate about them but when you dive back in to the action you're like, wait, what? I forgot what was going on exactly. It takes forever to get going, and when it does, it's pretty drawn out. Maybe I'm just too impatient. I found myself liking the other supporting characters more then the main character. I'm glad I read the whole book, but if you had to ask me to read it again or something similar, I would turn it down. First book in a while I've had to work to get through. It's a relatively short listen, but it felt much longer then actual longer books. I feel like if the overlying story was more exciting I would have been more into all of the contemplation and narrative opinions and speculation the main character has about everything that goes on in her world. I feel like the setting was layed out perfect but the execution wasn't up to par.

OK maybe I am a Zombieholic
I guess it is time to come clean. Although I never expected it, I am a fan of the genre, and no longer afraid to admit it. This offering clinched it. This book , as some have pointed out, isnt really a zombie story. Yes, they are part of the story, but it is about a group of bloggers selected to follow a presidential candidate during a zombie infested US Presidential election campaign. Someone doesnt seem to want him to get elected.
I had no problems with the narration. I thought both did a good job becoming the characters. The only thing that threw me a little was a voice that reminded me of a King of the Hill character but that was minor.
All in all, I enjoyed this book and may go on to the next one soon
