He likes to write from a unique perspective, doing things with books that no one has done before. He writes for character depth because he wishes for you to love the character, regardless if they are the villain or the hero. MIKE EVANS lives in Iowa with his wife and children. I am very interested to know what happens next with Shawn and his friends.

I will be looking forward to listening to the next audiobook in this series. There were a couple of pronunciation issues but nothing that was so glaring that it detracts from the story as a whole. The half star loss came from me being overly nit picky. It is well written and the narrator does a terrific job and keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. I rate this book as 4.5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I highly recommend ORPHANS: ORIGINS Book One to all lovers of zombie fiction. The characters are well written and it is easy to visualize the people in the book. Not only is there lots of action and some very scary scenes, but it also contains very believable human drama. I do not want to give too much of the story away, but I do want say that this book contains one of the most plausible explanations as to the circumstances of how the zombie virus originates that I have ever read. Obviously from what I just wrote, you realize that this book has much more depth than just your typical zombie story. Imagine a tiny four year old left alone to watch his mother (the Center of his life) wither and ultimately die. You can’t blame Shawn for feeling that way. Shawn was only 4 years old and was left to care for his dying mother alone. Shawn is angry and feels that his father abandoned them. All Shawn remembers from that time is that his father was not there for Shawn or for his mother. Well, twelve years later, his son, Shawn doesn’t think so. My concerns were quickly put to rest as the story began to unfold.įrank Fox is a man who gave up his prestigious position as an army research doctor to raise his four-year-old son after his wife dies of cancer. When the audiobook first started I was worried that there would be nothing new in this audiobook and that I would be bored listening to it. I have read A LOT of zombie fiction and it takes quite a bit to impress me – ORPHANS: ORIGINS did just that.
