About this listen
Fools die in the zoo. They die fast and horribly.
From the fertile imagination of best-selling author Michael Anderle
Decades ago, an alien ship fired a missile at Earth as they passed by, and we caught it. That was when humanity truly opened Pandora's box.
One more trip into danger, or something beyond danger?
Holly Smith has been hired as a consultant to go into the ZOO and retrieve information to help a company find a unique chemical. Holly is not a stranger to danger when trying to uncover that next billion-dollar ingredient, but even Holly has to admit something is wrong with the vibe coming from the ZOO.
There should not be a lush jungle in the middle of the Sahara.
Needing more information, she leaves the American security enclave and heads to the French/Israeli/India military encampment where mercenaries are known to congregate.
Plenty of alcohol should get her the answers she needs, right?
The more she learns, the more her concern intensifies. Can she learn if there is real danger, or are they lying?
When she finds a good drink, she realizes she might have found the person to tell her the truth.
But one person’s truth is another person’s tall tale.
With her life on the line, and her next paycheck as well, Holly needs to find out if the ZOO is safe.
One last problem: the ZOO doesn't want to give up its secrets.
Are you ready to enter the zoo?
Join Holly Smith as she learns about the ZOO, how to stay alive, and the opportunities that being a part of the ZOO have brought humanity.
The future is looking interesting and humorous, except for the death part.
Go up and buy this audiobook now and enter the ZOO.

There is more in our world than you know. Deep in the darkness of a government building, one man needs to find the perfect solution to a vampire’s request that the government satisfy the debt of honor owed him. If he falls short, the failure will be paid in the blood of the military. He needs three uniquely qualified individuals. He can find only one. One woman, dying, might be the ace-in-the-hole he needs to appease the Vampire. But then, she might also be the one person needed to save humanity. If she is accepted, will she willingly change?

People possessed by Demons, but still remaining in control of their bodies. One of the most powerful Demon's in Hell can't defeat his sister, so he sets her up to be sacrificed and killed.

Story
I only got into trucking because my granddad was a trucker, and he was the best damn person I ever met. I'd always thought I was your average dude with an 18-wheeler and an addiction to energy drinks, but it turns out there might be something more brewing in my blood. Now instead of some desert highway, I'm stuck in a whole new realm, and it's full of worm cults, actual lot lizards, one seriously smoking catgirl mechanic, and enough sand and bloodthirsty creatures to make me think I took a wrong turn somewhere. But I might be able to add a whole new career path to my resume.

Very entertaining!
This has got to be my favorite audiobooks, my favorite is Michael’s first book Death Becomes Her. The performance was pretty good. What got me was this the perfect story for an audiobook. Very engaging. I like military science fiction and this was a bit like it, but just a great story! I’m now looking forward to listening to the next in the series.
