The Hospital: A Mountain Man Story is free on Audible, so I thought I'd give it a listen. There are four "Mountain Man" books, all of which take place during a zombie apocalypse. I know, I know, but I read on. I'm not a huge fan of zombie stories; I only got through the first episode of The Walking Dead before giving up, and I've never read the comics, but somehow I liked this one, and I'd like to explain why.
The first of two big reasons to read "Mountain Man" beyond the free short story is R.C. Bray. With credits including The Martian and Craig Alanson's "Expeditionary Forces" novels, Bray is quickly becoming a sci-fi audiobook powerhouse, and this is an excellent performance by him. He's funny, dramatic, and terrifying. The second reason is that the first three "Mountain Man" books (each barely 300 pages long) are being sold for one credit on Audible, so you get three books for the price of one. I'm definitely down with that, and while the series isn't the first thing I'll read next - I might not get to it until September - I'll probably spend a credit on it.
