About this listen
He's an American working in Manila when the apocalypse begins.
Former U.S. Army helicopter pilot Jim Taylor and a small group of survivors are trapped in his powerless, sweltering-hot, high-rise condo overlooking the bloodbath unfolding in the streets 20 floors below. The undead horde is climbing the fire escape stairs toward them, and the group must escape. The only safe place is up, but only six floors remain between them and the roof. Then what? Meanwhile, mankind’s only salvation is an antidote sitting a few hundred miles south in a remote jungle lab where the virus was developed—and accidentally released. And time is running out… Jim, a CIA agent, a Filipino, and two U.S. Marines who survived when their C-130 burned at the Manila Airport are the only ones close enough to retrieve the antidote before it’s destroyed.
Jim hasn’t piloted a helicopter for years since getting shot down on his final mission in Afghanistan, a mission his nightmares won’t let him forget. Despite their poor odds of success, the rag-tag group commandeers a helicopter and sets out on a suicide mission to save the world.

enjoyable zombie book and great narration.
I enjoyed listening to this story. a relatively standard zombie novel with some minor twists. I liked the narration but do enjoy a more tempered narration style that this narrator uses. I'll follow and hopefully other books in this series will be put on audible.

As the author, I'm biased. It's a great listen!
I'm the author of Apocalypse Manila, and I wanted to say a few words and share some feedback I got from a listener. See below.
"At first, I thought it was your typical zombie story, but I really enjoyed the back stories of each character. I can almost see it as a Netflix movie or series!!"
Next, I want to thank Dustin for his excellent and compelling job narrating the book. You ought to check out some of his other work.
I'm a retired Marine. Thus, I brought the military angle in the book. I also worked and lived in Manila for three years and have visited there many times, which gave me insight into the people and setting in the story. As my listener said, it's not just your typical zombie story. It's about people: a former Army helicopter pilot who got shot down in Afghanistan and became a POW; a lowly maid who gets revenge on her wealthy and abusive employer; a poor Filipino man whose life changes when he gets a driver's job for an American but then loses everything to the apocalypse; a former CIA agent who has let greed consume him at the expense of humanity, and two lifelong friends who finally realize they're in love at the same time the apocalypse begins. You don't have to be a horror fan to enjoy this audiobook. Thanks, Larry Parrott.
