Summary

Book 2 in the hit zombie series listeners have described as "Stephen King's The Stand meets The Walking Dead." 

In the weeks after a virus decimated humanity and left fewer than 5,000 people alive in the US, a diverse group of survivors struggles to stay alive. Farmer Wim Wagner has abandoned the safety of his farm in hopes of finding Ramey, the mysterious girl who flitted in and out of his life in the midst of the outbreak. But Ramey is on the road searching for her father and trying to locate the mysterious X on a map that promises safety.

Meanwhile, survivors like Jorge and Bundy find themselves lost on the road, trying to locate other human beings and fighting off hordes of zombies. Some rescue missions end in success, but others in tragedy. 

Teenager Mitch is trapped in a secret underground bunker along with his mother and thousands of the undead. 

Mina has escaped the hospital after killing her father when he turned into a zombie. 

Grady desperately attempts to protect his autistic son after the boy died and returned as one of the undead. 

They're only a few of the men and women fighting survival in a world where the dead have returned to life and overtaken the country. Will they find each other on the road or are they destined to live and die alone?

Gave me shivers!!

A really good read, so gruesomely good it gave me shivers! I can't wait for the next book, and Matthew Crow's narration still makes my toes curl! I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Excitement!

I received this book via a promo code and this is my voluntary review,

Second book in the series. Wyn was still on the road to find the beautiful girl who he saved near his farm. XXL Escaped Con Bundy is finding love with Mina and Zombie Josiah is still wandering around with his Bible thumper daddy. While I had issues with the character overload from book one. Our groups are meeting along the road, good people are getting killed and bad guys are doing what they do best, surviving the chaos. This was an excellent story and each of the characters fought sensibly but in the end, who survived was sometimes just a matter of luck.

None of these characters were too stupid to live and I will gladly be joining them for book 3.

Really enjoyed Matthew Crow's narration.

Enjoyable read

But what the ever-living £*$% is that accent Sol has?

He's supposed to be from Birmingham (the one in England, though I don't know why Urban decided to transplant a Brummie to Murica, when you've got a perfectly serviceable Birmingham of your own in Alabama (and you're more likely to find a psychopath called Solomon in Alabama than England)) but Crow for reasons best known to himself has decided to characterise him with a Drunk Crocodile Dundee accent. THRAOW ANATHAWAN ON TH BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARBOY, MOY ORL SHURLORG!!!!!!!!

WHY? Crow does a good job otherwise in his characterisations.

It's not like Americans don't have a prime example of a Brummie accent right in their midst: Ozzy Osbourne's never off the telly over there.

Oh wait.

Puzzle solved. Someone, trying to be helpful, told Matthew Crow to do an Ozzy accent for Sol - and he thought they said Aussie...

getting better

I found the change in narrator a little off putting to start with but as I noticed that this would be the same narrator throughout the rest of the series I persevered, and I'm glad I did. overall performance went down well after you readjusted to the different sounding characters voices portrayed by Matthew Crow but by half way in this was not an issue. The story itself and plot are moving along nicely and you start to hear individuals start to group up which adds to the depth of the story than trying to concentrate from various character plots. it ends leaving you wanting to know what comes next all in all I am enjoying this series. thank you Tony Urban lets hope it carries on this good.
