About this listen

THE WORLD IS DEAD!

Two months ago, billions of people were killed by a deadly germ. Days later, they rose up again in massive numbers. Since then, cities worldwide have become rat-infested, germ-filled hellholes, ruled by the living dead.

WELCOME TO LONDON

A group of survivors are trapped in the rotting heart of the capital, hopelessly outnumbered. They've heard rumours of a safe haven to the north - a self-sufficient community where people can rebuild their devastated lives - but the decaying ruins of London are vast and sprawling, and they're going to need an army to get away from this place.

There are other people here, waiting in the shadows. Can enough of them band together to make a difference, or has the country - maybe even the entire world - already been lost to the undead?

The first book in a standalone trilogy set in the nightmare world of David Moody's international best-selling AUTUMN series - the original epic British zombie saga.

As someone who has read and enjoyed all previous books in the 'Autumn' series, I'm thrilled (and relieved) to say the high standard already set has been more than met in this latest installment.
That is not to say that familiarity with the previous books is necessary to enjoy this chapter, but the tone and style is recognisable to a returning reader.

How David manages to continue writing engaging stories without resorting to repetition or developments that cause involuntary eye-rolling is impressive. His characters truly feel like ordinary people. No ex-spec ops soldiers, no civilians that suddenly develop skills that would take years of training, just human beings trying to cope in a terrible situation. No power fantasies here, just relatable struggles.

The reading by Aubrey Parsons also deserves to be highlighted in adding real human dimension to individual characters, whilst still retaining a distinct voice as narrator.

A High Watermark in the Sea of Undead Fiction.

Story is very well written. Autumn is not about gunning down zombies from afar, its about getting right into the action. Character progression is excellent and I can't wait for the next installment.
I have all the previous Autumn books, this was the first audio version I have tried and I am very happy with Aubrey Parsons vocals. I was slightly dubious at the start but he did a fantastic job of pulling me into the story, all the characters (and there are quite a few) were easy to differentiate between.

Another great addition to the Autumn world

David Moody kicks off this new London Trilogy in his Autumn series with gusto, introducing us to a new group of characters he draws us into a London that has already fallen and is literally starting to break up. Aubrey Parsons brings the 'Autumn world' of David Moody to a vivid state of life amongst the undead. As is now the norm for Moody he makes us care about the characters Once you read or listen to Autumn Dawn you will want to immediately grab Autumn Inferno but be aware at the time of writing this we are waiting on the third in the series and it feels such a long wait.

Story was really interesting and based on reality (well as much as a zombie apocalypse can be) and Aubrey was on point with his narration.

Defintely worth a listen

Excellent story and narration
