The Rot

By Paul Kane
The Rot by Paul Kane digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Something has happened to the world. People are going mad, and the very foundations of society are crumbling... Only Adam Keller, testing a prototype environment suit, apparently remains safe – but for how long? Can anything be done? Can any of it be reversed before everything goes to Rot? The latest post-apocalyptic tale from award-winning and bestselling author Paul Kane (the sellout Hooded Man, The Disease, The End of the End) presents a nightmarish vision of a possible future, blending social commentary with page-turning action. This is one that fans of The Road and The Walking Dead will really not want to miss!

“Let’s be real, there isn’t a lot of variation between zombie stories. They have slightly different causes, but the monsters are generally the same. In this story, the disease referred to as “the rot” turns people into zombies but also causes everything in existence to deteriorate. New cars rust away in record time. Buildings lose structural integrity. Weapons become non functional. The main character, Adam, survives as long as he does because he is wearing an experimental environmental suit at the time of the collapse of society. I found this to be bleaker than most zombie stories. This is a true end of humanity scenario and I am here for it. It is well written and the narrator is great. I devoured this audiobook in one sitting.”
