Summary

Apocalypse: Disorder and chaos ravage London when thousands are contaminated by the accidental discharge of an experimental bioweapon. The disease robs its hosts of rational thought, giving them a singular desire - find more living flesh to infect.

Aftermath: Peter, alone by choice and oddly thriving, finds himself suddenly responsible for the life of someone other than himself. Elsewhere, other survivors stake their own claims to land and resources, but the inexplicable swarms of undead threaten to gather and dissipate constantly.

Abandoned: The virus spreads to every corner of the country while the combined forces of the naval fleet set sail for deeper waters and leave the UK to its fate. The few groups that remain are separated after a fateful battle for England, left to their own devices.

Adversity: As if flesh-hungry zombies weren't enough, a harsh winter strikes.

Adaptation: The apocalypse continues in the penultimate chapter of the Toy Soldiers series. Will anybody make it out alive?

Annihilation: Fleeing the seemingly unstoppable enemy, the survivors pin their hopes on a final attempt for freedom, but that means they must turn their backs on their home forever.

absolutely brilliant. rollercoaster ride of action, made all the better for being set in the UK. I just can't speak highly enough of the author.

Highly Commended

If you liked the Mountain Man series narrated by the superlative RC Bray then you are in for a real treat!
I searched for something suitable as a replacement read as I had listened to the whole series and saved this book in my library for a few months.
Although narrated by the sublime John Lee I just couldn’t give it a start - what a wasted few months they were, from the starting chapter it takes you and quite simply listened to it with every bit of free time available.
With a slightly different slant - with a more militarily base and with less visceral gore than MM it is nonetheless just as powerfully written by the excellent Devon C Ford if not better in detail.
I commend this series wholeheartedly to you the listener…

A must read

If you’re like me and a bit of geek for all things eighties, then you’ll absolutely love this book. I’m still shocked at all the historically accurate gear and equipment the characters use. The book itself is thrilling, chilling and exciting. I definitely recommend it.

brilliant

I read a review before i started this, the guy that reviewed it said he had read all Devon C Fords books and said there were no main characters and he gave it back as he said it was rubbbsh well he must have read a different book than this, I thought it one of the best ones yet the only thing I didn't like was the narrator pronunciation of a GPMG's nickname Gympy but pronounced it gimp py were my pronunciation as a army vetran would call it a Jim-py, I hope there i a continuation of the story with Peter.

Fantastic story!

I loved this, had me hooked from start to finish! I really got into Peter's story, it certainly got me invested.

If you're after emotion, progression, gore, and a gripping storyline... Toy Soldiers is for you!

Best story I have listened to in years

Outstandingly well written plot and story that unfolds and makes you feel like you are lost in the world with the characters as it's going to be a long ride with happy and dad moments to make you think. British walking dead is how I see this story

Way above the majority

There are some excellent characters in this story and action is paced perfectly. It's a personal thing but I think zombies in the UK just works.

Really Enjoyable

Another well-worked story by Devon C Ford. Rich and memorable characters and well fleshed out (pardon the pun) story lines. The package of all the books is great value too.
There are an awful lot of accents here for one narrator to get their vocal chords around but John Lee does a great job with the vocal diffentiation. Talk about a 'tough gig'"
