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 worst narrator I've listened to.

I got ten minutes in and had to stop. the narration is so monotonous and devoid of expression it was unbearable.

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.

the luck of this family

I loved the fact that a family can go from having to make sacrifices to make sure that their kid's have a good life and education, to winning a lottery and building a home to survive an appocalypse, but are selfish and are willing to help others to survive as well. can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. LOVED THE HUMOUR. Even when things got tough they always found laughter

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!
