About this listen

The first book in the bestselling zombie horror series from the author of Young Bond.

‘Lord of the Flies with zombies . . . tons of nail-biting action!’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series

Every time he thought they’d gone, he heard them again. Searching for him.

The sickness struck everyone over fourteen. First it twisted their minds. Next it ravaged their bodies. Now these zombies roam the streets, crazed and hungry.

In a destroyed London, the young hide in gangs, scavenging to survive, but with little hope for the future. Until rumours of a safe house travel across the city. But to get there they must face the Enemy – the mindless zombies who lie in wait.

Can these kids trust each other long enough to make it out alive?

Don’t miss the next book in this edge-of-your-seat series: The Dead.

‘The Enemy scores high with its brutal vision of a post-apocalyptic world’ Financial Times

‘Clever . . . fast paced . . . inventive’ Guardian

Read unabridged by Paul Whitehouse.

I bought this as I liked Charlie Higson’s adult books and thought my Daughter might like the story. So I listened to check it was suitable for her. I started in the car at 7am (I drive all day for work) and couldn’t stop listening. I was up until 2am that night finishing the book. Brilliant, the narration is superb, Paul Whitehouse is magnificent and shows just how a great narration can add so much to a story.



The story will appeal to most teenagers that enjoy a good thriller/horror story. I just hope that they bring the next 2 books out in audio format as i was mortified to hear there are more books but no audio! 5/5 Quality!

Superb Audiobook. 5 out of 5

To anyone who listens to this audio book and loves it as much as I do, please take the time reach out to audible and request they obtain the rest of the series which only gets better and more intertwined. You need to hear the next book, trust me

I read The Enemy over 7 years ago, and i loved the book, i recently remembered it and found The Enemy here, apart from the lack of a full cast, Paul Whitehouse is a great narrator and tell the story brilliantly, including the multitude of voices. The story is dark and definitly fills the imagination with vivid images, but it also draws you in, to find out what happens next, Sam (The Giant Slayer) is my Favourite character, a brave young soul who triumphs over hell time and time again, the trauma that kid has gone through an he is still going ^^ amazing, please bring out the rest of the series on audible, it is too good an opportunity to miss

Dark, Thrilling and Exciting

We need more installments from this great series! My only problem is they haven't got the full series released yet, Paul Whitehouse is great as a narrator! Cmon Charlie, pull a favour from Paul and get him to finish these!

Great trip down memory lane but missing the rest!
