with supplies running dangerously low, the survivors mount one last stand to push the infected away and close the gate in order to reclaim the land. millions of infected crowd around the 12 foot thick, 3 story walls. the infected now crowd what was once farmland and houses.
ever since then, the surviving population has been trapped in their walled city. the survivors have been pushed back to the walled city because one of the gates mysteriously opened one day in the past, and the infected swarmed in unannounced. it's kind of like helm's deep from the lord of the rings. the last bastion of survivors live in a walled city in the mountains. the inferi virus has wiped out the world. the story takes place some time in the future. it's definitely different than a lot of the zombie stories i've listened to. regarding the story, i ended up liking it. either i got used to it or the narrator got better as the story progressed. the dialog between the characters is read in different tones with emotion, but the descriptions are read robotically. but i decided to give it one more try before returning, and i'm glad i did! it took me about an hour to get used to the way the narrator read the book, but i was soon engrossed by the story. i started and stopped a few times, not being able to get past the first 10-15 minutes of it. i couldn't get past the robotic sounding narrator. I downloaded this audio book a long time ago, but i've put off listening to it b/c of the narrator.

The rewards of success are great, but she will have to sacrifice everything, possibly even her life, to accomplish the ultimate goal of securing the future of humanity and saving it from extinction.A walled city surrounded by lush land, protected by high mountain summits, and fortified by a massive gate to secure the only pass into the valley, The Bastion remained humanity's last hope against the fearsome undead creatures known as the Inferi Scourge.
