Resumen del Editor
Brothers Harry and Jack leave Manchester for New York City for their annual weekend getaway. But upon arrival, they find a silent, deserted JFK, where the few ground crew they can spot have all been slaughtered.
Harry and Jack are military veterans, but they've never encountered anything like this.
As they witness the carnage and stumble across murderous madmen in a postapocalyptic New York City, it becomes clear that escape is the only option--that is if there is anywhere sane to which to escape....

Historia
In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

Meet John Milton. He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder. Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. In this second dip into his case files (see 1000 Yards for a further novella), Milton is sent to Italy to investigate the death of a colleague from Group 15.

Historia
The Superpox-99 virus has wiped out nearly the entire human race. Governments have collapsed. Cities have become graveyards filled with unspeakable horror. People have resorted to scavenging from the dead, or taking from the living. The entire industrialized world has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, decaying bodies, and feral animals. To stay alive, U.S. Deputy Marshal Mason Raines must forage for food, water, and gasoline while outgunning those who seek to take advantage of the apocalyptic anarchy. Together with his giant Irish wolfhound, Bowie, he aligns with survivors of the town of Boone in a life and death struggle against a gang of violent criminals. With each deadly encounter, Mason is force to accept his place as one of the nation's few remaining lawmen. In a world now populated by escaped convicts, paranoid mutants, and government hit squads, his only hope to save the townspeople is to enforce his own brand of frontier justice.

Four-year degree in business.Trained in hand-to-hand combat. Works well with zombies.This is the resume of the last mailman on Earth. It is the near future, and the modern world we knew has been overrun and destroyed by reanimated corpses who hunt humans for food.

Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

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.

Celia Miller is the Ravencourt PD's only female officer. When she's not contending with the latest in a long line of lowlife drug abusers and wife beaters who pay more attention to her body than her badge, she has to put up with a police force that refuses to respect her. But Celia has a job to do, and for months her middle-of-nowhere desert town has been victimized by an increasingly violent gang dubbed "The Illegals". The alien masks they wear have made them an urban legend, but Celia's off-the-books investigation has uncovered the true scope of their criminal operation.

What If the World Went Mad?
Would you consider the audio edition of First Activation to be better than the print version?
Yes, I like to listen rather than turn pages.
What was one of the most memorable moments of First Activation?
One of the most memorable moments of First Activation was when Harry and Jack first left the plane in search of help for their fellow passengers.
What does James Langton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His narration gave a distinct voice to each character and the pace of his reading kept the plot moving forward well.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I found myself caring for the characters who were in search of answers and safety. I was horrified by the violence and mayhem.
Any additional comments?
Although it would be hard to watch the gore, this story could be made into a movie that many would go see.

You first...then it's my turn!
If you could sum up First Activation in three words, what would they be?
Original
Surprising
Driven
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Interesting...the source of the "issue".
Least...some of the characters have side issues that are derivative and don't easily move the story forward.
Which scene was your favorite?
The confrontation with the perpetrators was compelling and complicated.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I almost did. It came across as a short book, and, obviously, is the first of a series, which definitely left me wanting the sequel right away!
Any additional comments?
The performer, James Langton , is outstanding in this effort. His charcterizations are consistent, original and lively. He brings a great deal to this dystopian story, and does so with energy and thoughtfulness. His performance alone makes this a worthwhile credit!

First Activation
Great book, I loved it. With so many "end of days" movies & books coming out the last few years, this one really stands out. It offers a totaly new approach, that I really enjoyed, & kept me guessing. I think just about anyone, at any age, would enjoy this read, giving it a PG13, for violence & language.

MANNERS ARE FREE, BUT
HAVING NO MANNERS COMES WITH A COST
This is not going to be a classic. It is a little different. No zombies, but seemingly normal people who kill and than commit suicide. It is hard to tell who the bad guys are until they try and kill you. This makes for a more horrifying situation than zombies who are obviously zombies. The conspiracy behind how these people became monsters is a little unique. I have only read one other book with a similar type of scenario, unless you count the one with the Nazi's.
GOLF USUALLY BORED ME TO TEARS, I LIKE MY ACTION FAST AND SWIFT
The main characters are okay. The plot has some holes you can fly a plane through, but I could not stop listening and I am at lost to as to why. Best I can figure is that it did stay entertaining and I wanted to know who and what was behind the whole thing.
WHEN I START SOMETHING I LIKE TO FINISH IT AS QHICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.
If the next book goes on sale, I will buy it, but I don't think I am going to spend a whole credit.

A solid post-apocalyptic tale, with a few holes
Where does First Activation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The story has some shortcomings but Jack and Harry are solid characters that you want to root for. I immediately picked up and started the Second Activation once I finished up the First Activation. It's not my favorite post-apocalyptic novel but it's an interesting story.
What other book might you compare First Activation to and why?
The First Activation stops pretty suddenly the Second Activation picks up at the exact moment the first book ends.
What about James Langton’s performance did you like?
James' girl voice is a bit strange, the male characters are solid.
Any additional comments?
Don't get attached to anyone Jack and Harry meet.

Cliffhanger ending
Would you listen to First Activation again? Why?
No. It's memorable enough the first time.
Would you recommend First Activation to your friends? Why or why not?
Maybe. It would depend on their particular interest and whether they're agreeable to a thus-far unending and bloody series.
Have you listened to any of James Langton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not that I recall, although I'm starting to keep an exhaustive database of such details. But he did a fabulous differentiation of characaters through his amazing ability to change his voice.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Blood and gory death everywhere.
Any additional comments?
If you're into lots of gory deaths, by all means try this series. But be forewarned, things do not end with book one.
