The Gray Plague is a chilling exploration of humanity's struggle against an apocalyptic threat. Set in a world on the brink of collapse, this novel delves into the chaos unleashed by a devastating plague that transforms society and tests the limits of human resilience.

Drawing inspiration from the works of H.G. Wells, Lloyd Eshbach weaves a narrative that combines elements of horror and science fiction. As the plague spreads, characters grapple with fear, survival, and the moral dilemmas that arise in desperate times. The story invites listeners to ponder the fragility of civilization and the darker aspects of human nature.

With its blend of suspense and speculative fiction, The Gray Plague stands out as a thought-provoking tale that examines the consequences of unchecked progress and the fight for survival in a world turned upside down.

An enjoyable story that would have been 5 stars if the reader had a more variable tone otherwise really good.

Interesting sci fi


(4 stars)

Philip finds himself in a Venusian sphere at the mercy of the invaders within. The reason? Venus intends to take over the Earth, and they need a human guinea pig to test with. Can Philip escape and thwart those invasion plans? This is a neat short story that I would love to hear the sequel to. Reading was pretty good if a bit choppy.

Not bad...

...and well read. I prefer it when the narrator refrains from voice "acting" which only sounds forced.

The book itself was pretty good. The narrator was awful.
