Summary
For a decade now, the world has known of the existence of the immuno-degenerative and epidermal decomposition virus (strain two). The world governments and several civilian agencies have, so far, managed to keep the unimaginable from happening. They achieved it by keeping the outbreaks under control and preventing a global pandemic.
But even the best control measures seem to be falling short, as outbreaks become more frequent and larger in scale. Hundred percent of those infected with ImDED2 die. The problem is they don’t stay dead. The virus hijacks their bodies, turning them into insatiable, cannibalistic eating machines. Zombies.
Ryan Maxwell, a retired soldier, and his wife Victoria, a high school science teacher, have sacrificed for years to provide a good life for their family, but even the hardest working couple can run up against hard times.
However, a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a lottery ticket is about to change their lives forever. And possibly save them all.
Will the Maxwells be able to take advantage of their newfound wealth in time to form a buffer of safety between their family and friends and the possibility of a global zombie apocalypse? Is there enough money to buy safe passage in a world...after Z?

The ideal zombie apocalypse for preppers
If you love zombie stories and/or prepper stories, then this book mixes both beautifully. Well written and narrated, I'm looking forward to book two.

Zombie apocalypse done with style and snark!
This was a great take on the zombie apocalypse, zombies have been around a while and a lottery win that leads to a spectacular bunker/man cave, filled with the best toys! Ryan was a man with a plan, and some great one-liners that had me laughing, my favourite was "duct tape a zombie d0ggy-style to you" and "remember to let big d1ck out"! Matthew Crow was a really good narrator, I really hope theres going to be a book 2, I'll be watching for it.

Good solid zombie book
Enjoyed the easy going nature of the book and the slight difference from other books due to the starting location being before the “end”! Good book good series!

Billionaire Prepper's Guide to the Zompoc
Enjoyed this book, good range of characters and a Interesting way of approaching a zombie novel. Little light on the actual Zombies but feel the next in the series will really step this up.

Even a zombie would struggle to swallow this tale
I like apocalyptic stories, but I do not like the stories themselves to be disasters. Spoilers ahead:
- All of the men (with few exceptions) are military bad-asses, ex-military, or incompetent bad guys.
- All the dogs are highly-trained bad-asses.
- Almost everyone who is not a military bad-ass has medical training, as do some of the military bad-asses. And of course, of all the people the survivors could have rescued first, they run across not one, but TWO doctors!
- The narrator, Mr Crow, speaks with a monotone and style that is more fitting of 1960s-era school instructional videos (you know the ones). I had to play this book at 1.3x speed just to stay awake. 2 stars simply because he actually did demonstrate inflection when voicing the females.
- Character development in the story is so lacking, the zombies flattened by a D9 dozer in the book had more depth than most of the uninfected.
- Oh, and did I mention the main character wins $1.5B and builds a state-of-the-art doomsday bunker that is better-equipped than the Death Star just before the apocalypse?
But hey, based on the ratings there seem to be plenty of listeners with different opinions. To each their own...

After Z..
So I have been on Audible for a while now, found that Zombie style apocalyptic novels are my favorite. My 1st Zombie book was Mark Tufos' Zombie Fallout after that it hasn't stopped. I stumbled onto After Z by chance and let me tell you THIS book was Amazing! Has a Different start to the ZVirus than any other book that I have enjoyed. If you looking for a book that is thrilling and funny with a bit of Zombies than grab After Z.

Brilliant!
After Z, definitely delivered, it met my highest expectations. I knew it would be great within the first few minutes, and I wasn't wrong. It's well-written with a unique and entertaining storyline that captures the attention and engages the readers/listeners from the very start to the end. The characters are well-developed, intriguing, and absolutely awesome.
A stellar performance by Matthew Crow's; he literally brought the characters and the story to life. All and all, After Z is an excellent zombie post-apocalyptic tale, and definitely worth the listen. I strongly recommend this audiobook.

the worst ever
I like zombie books. But this one starts it with the prolog and the author quoting Donald Trump. It goes down hill fast from there. The story is so poorly written with I guess you'd call them characters of some sort. The reader is one of the worst I've ever heard and I have 1,400 books in my library. I listened to the first part and returned it.

Zombies!!!
I'm a huge fan of zombie stories. Being such, I've either read, watched or listened to literally hundreds of them over the years. I would rate this particular zombie tale as being in the top ten. Extremely entertaining!

One of my favorites
This has been on of my favorite zombie books of all time. It was very well wrote. The humor was laugh out loud. It was just a great book and was sad when it ended.

Awesome
Starts with a lottery win to prepare a dream apocalyptic hide out of course right before the world falls to crap. Former military characters bring about a great zombie world read. Can’t wait for the next in the series.

Absolutely Awful
After Z is so awful, I don’t even know where to begin. I have read quite a few books in this genre and I would place this one near the very bottom. Not a fan of the narration, which starts off so stiff, the narrator pronounces every syllable of every word. Though the narration gets better, the story does not. There’s nothing remotely realistic about this story. There is almost no character development. It’s really just a fantasy about endless financial resources and gore. I’m embarrassed to have this in my collection and that I was so easily fooled by the reviews that I am now skeptical can actually be honest. This is just the worst. Stay away!
