The Aging
Something bad is happening . . .
One touch and a person begins aging rapidly. Years in a single day. Before anyone can react or stop it, entire cities are crippled.
As survivors flee to their homes, Elizabeth and her children watch with an increasing sense of dread as the death toll climbs. Then, when a terrifying way to slow the aging is witnessed online, the enormity of the event becomes clear. Now, waiting it out is no longer an option, finding safety is. But venturing outside is deadly. Come in contact with the wrong person and their days are numbered. Ignore the warnings and it’s over.
Three weeks later as the event escalates, Elizabeth must trust the survival of her children to the one person who others trust the least. As they embark on a frightening journey through a hostile country with more questions than answers, they’ll soon discover that reaching safety will be more difficult than imagined. In a desperate world where age isn’t a number but a death sentence, can anyone be trusted?

I picked this up because it had a different spin on an apocalypse. A virus that speeds up the aging process quickly until your body breaks down and dies. Passed by touch, the virus has no mercy. I was excited to learn more about it and see how it all plays out. However what I got was a story about a father trying to get his two kids to Florida making the world's dumbest mistakes along the way. At certain points I was rolling my eyes. It was an alright read.

This was better than I could have imagined. It is a terrific horror story combined with a poignant character driven narrative. This is a story about selflessness, courage, and the fierce love of family fighting to protect their own at all costs. It is exciting, gruesome at times, and always suspenseful. Most of all, it is about a man, his son and daughter getting to know each other and finding forgiveness when there is no guarantee they will have tomorrow.
Narrator Mike Piscitelli's voice was initially difficult for me to get into rhythm with, but after the first few chapters I was in the flow with him and ended up enjoying the audiobook as a whole.

This book seems to follow a trend that I've been seeing lately, which is an author coming up with a great premise for an "end of the world" scenario and then proceeding to write the most bland and dull story around that premise as possible.

A Nice Twist on an Old Theme
How many different ways can you describe an apocalypse caused by a pandemic? In The Aging Mr. Hunt describes a virus that is transmitted through touch (and bodily fluids). That in itself is not really that different but . That twist introduces some interesting plot opportunities that the author exploits, particularly in the end.
The book was very readable and fast passed. The main character, Josh, 16, must protect his 10-year-old sister after their mother succumbs to the disease. His mother's final instructions are to go to a person for help, who turns out to be his estranged father whom he has not seen for 10 years. Together they need to make their way to Josh's grandparents in Florida to go to a safe zone on an isolated island.
Characters develop as father and son deal with guilt (on the father's part) and anger on Josh's part for his father not being there for most of his life. Like most end-of-the-world books, it's mostly about the journey they take and the dangers and challenges they encounter along the way.
Nice to read a stand-alone novel once in a while. This was a good read.

I was so excited for this one that I stopped another series to squeeze it in! Cool new concept I have not heard before. Strong characters and lots of action. The story never really slows down. It could be a series but has an ending that works as is. I always love Jack’s work!
Narration by Mike Piscitelli was great. I think this may be the first book I’ve listened to by him.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A virus in a new light
I am an avid reader but don't usually read books in this genre. The title , blurb & the COVID19 pandemic also drew me to it. The book takes you through a journey with characters who are infected with a virus that they can see the physical effects of ,knowing that they have a limited amount of time to live. It allows you to witness the different actions that people take when they become infected. If you knew how long you had to live would you waste your time or spend it in the best possible way? I didn't give the book 5 stars because I would have liked it to have more in depth dialogue between Ryan & his children after he was reunited with them. Overall the book is a great read that I would recommend for others . It allows you to see the true length that people will go to for their survival.

This is a nice standalone novel and the writing style and editing are generally good. I was a little bothered by the tendency to jump from present day and then back at the start of the event and then to the present day again, as I found it stalled some of the momentum. This had an interesting approach to the pandemic causing rapid aging where the host could get rid of the virus by touching someone else. It added an aggressive element to an already stressful situation. Ryan starts out as a fairly weak character, somewhat understandable with the troubles in his life and his interactions with his teenage son, while believable, do start to wear a bit. I like how they try to remain decent people on their journey and Ryan's redemption arc is a bright spot at the end. Enjoyable book.

Interesting premise, I read a lot of end of the world fiction. It was refreshing to see a new take on it and enjoyed the book as a whole. It did at the end get some feels out of me which is not super common with the quality of post-apocalyptic books.

Different type of apocalyptic story but still quite good
I’ve read so many apocalyptic books. Some are dark, some are intense, some are more of a survivalist guide and some are just a good story. I put this book in the latter category. Though obviously a dark topic, it’s a good story about people you come to care about. The “plague” is different than any other apocalyptic story I’ve read, which is good. It’s a disease or something that makes a person to age a few years every day. This eventually causes death but also causes a lot of pain in the body though the rapid growth. It may be a showstopper for some people that you could stop the rapid aging by giving it away, in other words, touching someone. This was explained by the disease actually being nanotechnology that would transfer from one body to the next. It makes sense the nano bots would want to expand to another person but why would they shut down in the person they were coming from? Maybe the nanotechnology transmission is a showstopper for some people but it wasn’t for me. I removed a star because of it but it’s still a good story. Maybe future books will better explain the technology, where it came from and why it acts like it does.
This transfer of nanotechnology and the need for people to pass the aging disease to others to halt it in themselves, adds a vey real “me centered” concept. It adds the scenario of people going after each other to save themselves. This is a key element of any apocalyptic story such as zombies needing to eat and, in this case, was brought about by the passing of the nano bots. If the author didn’t include this, the story would have been much different and much less interesting.
Overall, the characters are great. There’s not much gore or horrendous tragedy but lots of bad people and still some intense moments. It’s a good read if you like this type of book.

Book 2??
There has to be another book. There is so much left I want to know. What's the island like, how long will these people have to be isolated from the rest of the world? Do they find a cure and how do they go about the making the world safe again, just so many questions. Please tell me there's another book coming. I give it a five star rating, but only Mr Hunt know the answer to what happens from the island forward.

What would you do?
This whole book causes you to step back and ask yourself - What would you do? Damned if you do and damned if you don't. In light of our own real-life pandemic, we are not that far off from this book.

This was a pretty decent post apocalyptic story. Was it perfect? No. But, it held my attention and I found I kept thinking about the story when I wasn't reading it. What was going to happen next? Would the main characters survive?
Maybe it hit differently reading it in a Covid world. Many of the experiences the characters went through were similar to things I've seen now in 2022. Well, minus the rapid aging. A majority have gone under the knife or suffered through injections to stop that process.
As part of my spooky reading months, I have to say this was one of the better ones I've read so far. I did also like this author's writing style so would be interested in checking out more novels by this author.

I enjoyed this book. Fast paced. Kept me entertained. The people seemed to rely on excuses for their reactions. Definitely recommend.

[I originally wrote this review for Audible, but after multiple attempts, it's still not showing there. In case it never pops up at Audible, I'm submitting a copy of it here too.]
Jack Hunt gives readers another great stand-alone post-apocalyptic novel with ‘The Aging’. The story follows Josh, his sister Lily and their estranged father Ryan as they strive for sanctuary from a deadly virus.
Some readers may find this review to be spoiler-y. I try not to give too much detail, but the spoiler-averse might want to steer clear.
After his mom dies from a virus that causes rapid aging and death in a matter of weeks, Josh and Lily are charged with finding their estranged father. Once together, the three race to Florida to board a boat headed for an island safe-haven in the Gulf of Mexico. Will they get there in time?
Hunt writes some of the best tension-building action scenes of the post-apoc genre. In this book, though, that takes a bit of a backseat to his wonderful story of family, particularly the father-son relationship between Ryan and Josh. Troubled-teen Josh is suddenly made responsible for younger sister Lily and then must accept help from a father he scarcely remembers. Ryan, for his part, doesn’t know how to be a proper father. He and Josh butt heads at every turn, not trusting each other yet. The reader watches their relationship grow strong as they attempt to survive the pandemic.
Hunt superbly delivers a coming-of-age tale, one of my absolute favorite tropes in ALL of fiction.
I truly love Hunt’s portrayal of Josh’s journey to adulthood through this unique landscape. Hunt’s use of a merry-go-round metaphor at the end is utterly moving. (I may have cried...OK, I did cry).
I will admit that the medical explanation of this virus is implausible (if not impossible), but I loved every other aspect of the book and happily suspend my disbelief here. Hunt employs a zombie-esque twist to the virus, creating a nail-bitingly superb suspense story.
This is my first time listening to Mike Piscitelli. His narration is very good. I felt his voice-acting suited the emotion of the story, so much so that I got a little teary-eyed with a few scenes.
I was given a free review copy of this audiobook, at my request, and this is my voluntary opinion of it.
Highly recommended.

I just finished reading “The Aging” with tears slipping down my face. This is one of the best books I’ve read in a while.
The characters are well-defined and believable. A teenage boy full of rebellion, a dying mother, a sweet 10 year old sister, and a horrible affliction sweeping the world.
Before the mother dies, she convinces her son to take his sister to an certain address, hours away, with no explanation of who she’s sending them to. It turns out to be the children’s father, who the son has not seen in ten years and his sister has never seen.
What happens next, as the father sets out with his children on a life-saving trip, is full of action, relationships and extreme hardships. I won’t give away the ending, but it is worthy of the rest of the book. I could not put this book down, it’s that good. Read it, and you won’t be sorry. Wiping a tear away,

I was hooked from the synopsis of this book! It did not disappoint. It was so timely and what is happening in our world right now, yet so very different. It really showed the goodness in people and also brought out the evil when people were just looking out for themselves and their safety. It took a somewhat different approach and did not take place in a lot of major metropolitan areas which was nice change of pace. Our characters also met some interesting trouble along the way that differed from a lot of other similar novels in the genre. I enjoyed the family make up/drama in this book and it was great to see the transition from beginning to end of the family make up and some additions and subtractions as well. Of course, as in many books in the genre you have to remove yourself from reality for a bit but it is such a thrilling ride that I could not stop listening. The narration was strong in this book and really brought the words to life. I did feel that there could be some more tension in certain scenes but overall, the person who voiced the characters did a nice job and had a wide range of characters to provide voices for.** I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review from audiobook boom. This in no way affected my opinion of this work.**

Emotional Story
The plot of an aging pandemic was a fascinating idea but the characters in this book and the relationship development was excellent. Josh is 16 and has a 10 year old sister, Lily, to keep save from the aging disease that can be passed by touch in order to stop it's progression in the ill. Could you imagine the amount of people who would pass it on. Josh's mother refused and died but not before planning and then sending him on a journey to save his sister and his soul. The story of Josh and Ryan was so well written and as a cancer survivor myself the last few pages had me so moved. I look at my life and relationships so differently now. Hats off to the author, those where such beautifully written words. This book is a story of life, love, redemption, and finding yourself. I highly recommend it no matter what your normal genre is.

An Awesome Read
This book was an excellent read. While at times very disturbing, it kept my interest, especially as the relationships between Josh and his mom and Josh and his sister, Lily, and his dad, Ryan, developed. I think Josh was the main character here as he starts out as a rebellious teenager but becomes, in
a short period of time, a man. The possibility of a virus such as this one was very frightening in light of the pandemic we just went through. The author made it believable but not so gory one would not be able to read it. I liked it a lot and enjoy this author’s work.

Great Concept, not fully explored
A fairly enjoyable read. I liked the idea of people aging at such a fast pace. The story unfolds something like a road movie without ever slowing down until the end. The central characters are relatable and believably fleshed out as the story unfolds . I did feel it was maybe a bit predictable and there weren't really any twists or surprises which I think could of improved it but I enjoyed it nonetheless. More could of been made of the aging cure hunt, maybe a secondary story that overlapped this one, maybe a revelation of what had caused it. Opportunities not taken

Interesting take on the Apocalypse
I really like this author a lot and he did not disappoint with this stand alone book. I really enjoyed the storyline, it is very intriguing and makes you think what you would do if this happened. I would have liked to see more of Elizabeth before she passed, get to know her better and have a more thorough idea of what her relationship was with Josh. I also would have liked to see Josh develop his relationship with his father sooner in the story. Definitely a great read and I highly recommend it!!

Touch no one!
Never a dull moment in one of Jack Hunt's novels! And just when you think it's safe, bam, he kills off a character. This story was much more emotional than his previous books I've read and you really felt for the characters, perhaps because many were kids. More of a wrenching delve into the psyche of those facing a fatal pandemic and an interesting idea behind a virus & transmission. An entertaining read for any who love this genre.

Bittersweet
I enjoyed this story. Got me right in the feels. My oldest son is a very angry teenager and I … an anxious mother. I found so many things relatable when it came to Elizabeth and her son. I do wish this story had more detail. Many things felt rushed or uncertain what was exactly happening. But then I’m a glutton for a DEEPLY detailed book. Overall, I’m very happy I decided to give it a try. I’m curious what exactly happens with Ren.

Great story of life's journey
Mr. Hunt has written a great well paced story in this book. The danger and mystery kept me guessing and wanting to keep turning pages right up to the end . The only thing holding me back from a 5 was that there were a number of descrepancies throughout the book. Nothing major, but enough to make me wonder if it was rushed or something was different- certainly not typical of his books.

Introspective
I must have blinked because I was confused by the last chapter. Ryan was dying of cancer, but they said he aged fourteen years in one day. Did he die of cancer or aging? Did the woman in the back of the truck with the child infect Josh? I enjoyed the book except for the gross parts going into detail. Some things I didn't really want to hear about. I couldn't stop reading, though.

“The Aging” is a perfect read for today’s world
Very well written and so worth reading for the pandemic world we live in and the viruses the medical staffs are required to eliminate and find cures to save lives. Sad but true life. Unfortunately, we don’t know when or where the next contagion where appear or who developed it.

The Aging
What a great book,. first of all since I'm from Houston Texas that made it interesting. This was a new and exciting turn in an apocalyptic novel. J loved the chapters Josh, Kate, Ryan. I was hooked I finished the book in two days. In today's crazy world I anything is possible, even an aging virus plague . wonderful reading Mr. Hunt.

A strong start. Then it began to run out of gas as the story seemed to rinse and repeat the same old cliches.
I didn’t care for any of the characters until the final three chapters when they began to show something other than stereotypical teenage angst or a broken father/son relationship.
Still, was worth a read and I’m glad I stuck with it to the end.

You never know
This book is engaging right from the start and never lets go! It reminded me of The Walking Dead minus the zombies. Perfect timing with covid and how crazy everything can get in such a short time. I got engaged with the characters very quickly and the action never stops.
