Summary
In 2003, Brian Keene's The Rising revived horror literature's dormant obsession with zombies. In 2007, Brian Keene's Dead Sea knocked that obsession on its ass....
The city streets are no longer safe. They are filled instead with the living dead, rotting predators driven only by a need to kill and eat. Some of the living still struggle to survive, but with each passing day, their odds grow worse. Some survivors have fled, frantically searching for a place to escape, even briefly, the slaughter around them. For Lamar Reed and a handful of others, that safe haven is an old Coast Guard ship out at sea, with plenty of water between them and the zombies. These desperate survivors are completely isolated from the dangers of the mainland. But their haven will soon become a deathtrap, and they'll learn that isolation can also mean no escape!
Deadite Press is proud to present this Author's Preferred version of Keene's over-the-top cult classic, which includes never-before-published material!

Almost perfect
This is a not part of The Rising, some reviewers seems to have missed that point, these are 'normal' zombies, not demon posessed bodies, let's just be clear here. So, having established that, let me begin .... Lamar is wonderful, and the narrator is too, Lamar is, according to the 'Professor' an archetypal hero and I'd have to agree, along with Malik and Tasha who save his life early on, whom he then rescues fom the fire and takes to the boat, he's joined by Mitchell, who is also a good guy, they make a great team and the kids are wonderful, I love the whole lot of them.
I did not like the decision to make the virus affect animals too, but again, let's be clear, not ALL animals, for no particular reason, only certain animals are affected, no scientific rhyme or reason, squirrels being immune at the start and then not, also weird, maybe they were just good at hiding from the rats, who knows, I was not keen on this bit, hence only 4 stars from me.
I loved this, I think you will too if you're a Keene fan, try it for yourself, see what you think.
I was lucky enough to receive my copy free of charge in exchange for my honest review, which is what you have here.

Home run BK
I love BK’s books & this is another great one. NOT related to the Rising. More of a traditional Zombie book with some surprises. I actually liked this better than the Rising series. Just wish book 2 in the series had the same characters, which it does not.
As with most of BK’s books- a quick listen that is disciplined in story telling. No fluff, no wasted words. Tell me a good story without wasting my time & BK delivers as always!

Got me again
Brian Keene got me again, dark ending to a great zombie story. I was waiting for what happened to happen, and it did. The character development was great for a zombie story where everyone is usually so one dimensional and how he touched on the racial and homosexual stuff made this book even better. Mr Keene really has a way of making you like and care about the characters in the story, then kills them with little to no warning. I loved this book.

Love it!
It starts out with a ton of f-bombs which did not bother me but I know how some listeners are with cursing. Mr. Butler did an amazing job narrating. The MC wasn't perfect but grew as the story proceeded. Hands down, Malik was my absolute favorite character. He had me laughing so many times! I would definitely recommend this.

Brutal
Dead Sea, Brian Keene's take on the well worn zombie apocalypse story is surprisingly fresh (fresh...zombie....yeah, it's a rather bad joke, but it's also true.) Excellent characters, especially like his main character, making a social commentary without really making a social commentary-at least not in a shoving it in your face way. It's subtle and thus I feel it's more effective. I especially like how he doesn't pull punches in the story, things are bad and keep getting worse. He subverts traditional expectations, much the way the film version of King's The Mist did, and I appreciate that. He created a fascinating world and while I wouldn't expect a sequel, I know from time to time I will find myself wondering about the world and those still left on it.

Great narration, soso to average story
The narrator does a great job with the work he's been given but the story feels very paint by numbers. While there are some great quiet moments and a couple big fun moments most of the story feels somewhat predictable and very fatty. I love a lot of Keenes work but this one just feels like it should've been a short story set in a compliation of Romero universe stories not a full size novel. I highly recommend listening to The Rising parts 1 and 2,The Seven and Earthworm God's to see him do similar work that's a lot more bombastic and fun.

Different Zombies
Zombie novel that follows no known zombie rules. Keene returns to zombies outside of the Labyrinth mythos, rather enjoy full. A
