About this listen

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.

Overall the Mountain Man is by no mean the most technical story in the world. The characters are not too complex and the trajectory is not exactly unexpected. The words "easy listening/reading" come to mind. This is particularly true for the first two books, where the last in this omnibus is a bit of a diversion. Having said that, it is no less than what you could ask for from an awesome zombie story.

A previous reviewer comments how it would be a bit of a gruel to listen to all three books continuously. Me and my partner took heed of this advice by splitting it up with others in our library but we'd have to agree that it is most likely much more enjoyable if broken up.

Simply put: we thoroughly enjoyed this omnibus. Keith Blackmore is a great writer, very effective at building a picture but at the same time keeping it lite and flowing. And for R. C. Bray it’s just another awesome reading with great delivery and no stumbles whatsoever – every pronunciation, emphasis and pause is just perfectly placed. Bray seems to get a little better at distinguishing character voices in the later volumes but that’s no bother as there’s fewer characters earlier on anyway.

The second book seems to start introducing some inconsistencies to its own logic that had us on a bit of a “hmm, oh well, this could all fall apart” type thing. But the third book seemed to address this (if only fleetingly) and answered (if I remember correctly) all our questions that popped up. The final book balanced on potentially going a little repetitive with the whole “escaping from zombies” scenario but totally makes up for it by diverting entirely, even poking fun at itself towards the final climax.

Brilliant and well placed humor, soft but dark. Gripping most of the way through but not too full of twists and cliffhangers. And one final note: it is full on BRUTAL. Blackmore turns dead flesh into an art-form. You've just got to hear it to understand.

Totally looking forward to the next book “Well Fed”.

I loved every bit of it. l started with the prequel and then moved on to this omnibus. The writing sometimes takes your breath away with the gruesome details but the vision in your mind that it sets is extraordinary. The reading by RC Bray is a perfect fit for the story that unfolds. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good zombie. read!!

Brilliant!!
