3.5 out of 5 stars
This is the first "zombie" post-apocalyptic book I've read in quite a while. It reminded me a lot of The Extinction Cycle series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith (who I believe was quoted saying something about really enjoying this book when it was originally released in 2016). It's part military thriller and part post-apocalyptic story with a whole lot of zombie action in it. There were scenes that reminded me of 28 Days Later and others that reminded me of The Walking Dead - so if you're a fan of either of those - you'd probably enjoy End Time.
The narration by Szarabajka was interesting - there were times that I was cringing and others where I thought it was perfect. It was a little overperformed for my liking (when someone yelled he yelled). It just makes listening in a car hard - you never know the volume to keep the book. It wouldn't have made me dislike the book though - just something to watch out for if you're sensitive to random outbursts from narrators. His inflections were great though and made a sometimes "straight-laced" book feel more interesting.

This is a hard hitting character based book that pulls no punches, well written with various perspectives on an event that is all too possible in the world we live in. The authors attention to detail is meticulous and the action is non stop. If you want a book you won’t be able to put down, this book is for you.

The Colonel:
Daniel Greene’s “End Time” touched me on several levels.
I found his description of the embassy in Kinshasa of particular interest. During my 30 years in the Army with 13 years overseas including a combat tour in Vietnam, I served as the defense attaché at two embassies in Third World countries and was once caught up in a terrorist incident in Kashmir.
Greene employs great imagery. One example is when he describes “Countryside dark. The kind of pitch black that can only be found beyond a city’s limits.” Having been in places where there was no electricity, I could relate to this scene. Another is when he portrays Mark Steele as “part of the few who formed a thin hard line between order and chaos.”
I appreciated how Greene focused on individual stories within the broader context of the epidemic.
One minor criticism. The author uses the term “soldiers” when referring to Marines. Marines are not soldiers. They are Marines and take umbrage at being called soldiers. Just as we would not call a sailor a soldier or an airman a soldier, we should not call a Marine a soldier.
I look forward to reading the other books in this...

Agent Steele is not your typical action novel or post-apocalyptic hero. I think that is the reason that I absolutely devoured (if you'll excuse the pun) this book. I'm no stranger to books that take place after some major catastrophe wipes out our normal existence. However, End Time (though in the same genre) was completely different. What I really like about Agent Steele was that he wasn't perfect. In fact, I found myself questioning his decisions from time to time. Typically, in these stories, you have a good guy who is the idealized bad-ass who fires a machine gun with one hand while holding onto the damsel in distress all - while firing off cheesy one liners. No doubt Steele is a bad-ass, but he is shown to be a man with flaws, fears, and reservations that make him so much more human than his action-star counterparts from other novels. Additionally, the damsel in End Time seems like she could probably take care of her self! I really liked that she wasn't the type of character to just bury her head in Steele's chest and cry the whole time. She grabs a gun and kicks ass right along side him!
Though Steele clearly has more training than the normal person,...

Lily Steele:
A scarily realistic insight into a potential zombie apocalypse. Right from the start End Time takes you on a wild and thrilling ride from the heart of the Congo to the heart of the US. Greene's style pulls the reader into the plot, and most importantly, into each character, making you feel like you're right there with them. It's as though End Time grants you top secret access to how the US government and counter-terrorism really works.
Greene leaves you on a tantalising cliff hanger - bring on book 2!!
