Pack Hunt

Rabid States #4

by Scott Medbury

In an America ravaged by the insidious Rabies 2.0 virus, Captain Crowley and his group of survivors thought they had secured their refuge within the sturdy walls of the prison. But fate, it seems, has other plans. As a seething mass of infected humans and twisted, malformed animals began to pour over the distant ridge, their fragile sanctuary was once again under threat.

In the gripping fourth and final instalment of the heart-pounding Rabid States series, Crowley must confront the daunting reality that the precious few hours they have may not be enough for a successful evacuation. As the horde surges ever closer, tension grips the group, and the decision to stay or flee becomes a matter of life and death. Can they make it out in time, or will they be engulfed by the relentless onslaught of the infected?

Don't miss the action-packed conclusion to Rabid States by Scott Medbury, author of the bestselling America Falls Series.

Excellent finale to the series. I think I held my breath all of the way through it. Exciting from start to finish and a great ending. Read in one sitting as I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended. Looking forward to more from this author.

This is the dramatic race against the clock and the odds conclusion to the Rabid State series. It is satisfying wrap up to this series of 4 books. It has a satisfying ending but still leaves you wondering (in a nice way) about what is to come.

Short and quick book, zombie/rabid dogs with military story line. I am enjoying the series.

[Karen Worrells · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. I think I was ready to be done after the 3rd book and the constant danger was just overwhelming at times. 4 books of action and I was exhausted reading about it. I enjoyed the end.

Pack Hunt is the final entry in the Rabid States post-apocalyptic, book series by Scott Medbury. I tend to enjoy post-apocalyptic series because they inspire speculation as to how one would handle these scenarios which require independent action. The rabid dog scenario here has government intervention and safe zones being the final vestiges of protected order.

The survivors have moved from a school to a church, then a jail, and finally to the base that they intended to go to from the beginning. Maybe not so much. Obviously, the survivors have thinned throughout the series with the exposure of moving from place to place and the challenges seemingly becoming more and more insurmountable. (Werewolves? Mutants?)

The action is turned up to a high velocity pace. The story is reminiscent of zombie apocalypse narratives. The characters are fun and realistic, with altruistic heroes and selfish douche baggy players running to the far extremes of how people would behave in such high intensity / anxiety situations.

I really liked the entire series, although the ending is a little short and abrupt.
