Book One - Fortress Britain: When the Zombie Apocalypse came, one country had shut down its borders in response to a major terrorist attack. Now Fortress Britain is the last bastion of the living - with 50 million beleaguered survivors facing down a world of seven billion animated corpses. And one international team of elite special operators - supremely trained and armed, always the most skilled, resolved, and unstoppable amongst us - are humanity's last best hope for survival....

Book Two - Mogadishu of the Dead: Alpha team is tasked with one last desperate operation: They must cross the Atlantic aboard the world's only remaining supercarrier and insert by air into the very middle of a dead continent, all in search of a rumored vaccine that might bring humanity back from the brink. But their op goes dangerously wrong from the start, with the team scattered to hell and back, and their target site a dry hole. Now they must fight their way on foot through a city of three million ravening dead guys, in search of an underground bunker that might hold the Last Man on Earth. But these undead will not be like any Zulus they have ever fought before - and they surround the new target in a writhing ring of death 30 feet high on all sides....

Book Three - Three Parts Dead: Alpha team, the world's best and last surviving Tier-1 operators, are adrift on Lake Michigan - and fast drifting into what looks like a damned hostile shoreline. Deep in the National Forest nearby, a former police officer and survivalist battles to keep her family alive - and tries to decide whether the commandos of Alpha are more dangerous to her alive or dead. Meanwhile, the John F. Kennedy, the world's last floating supercarrier, is run aground off the coast of Virginia - and facing a veritable hurricane of the dead, blowing in fast. Finally, back in Fortress Britain, the terrible outbreak from the Channel Tunnel turns out not to have been so contained after all.

This is an omnibus of the first three books in the Arisen series, of which there are now 8 in total. To say it is a zombie apocalypse story doesn't really do it justice. This is a well thought out, plausible and realistic story, covering the actions of the military (UK and US), rather than small bunches of non-military survivors.

Although the American narrator occasionally mispronounces words, the story is absorbing and moves at a good pace. Highly recommended if you like your zombie apocalypse gritty and realistic.

Gritty and realistic

Well, hell's teeth I've become a fan of Zombie novels! Never thought it would happen but somehow it has! This series is a fast-paced and action packed book stuffed full of tough, uncompromising Special Ops characters and every zombie cliche you can shake a stick at.

But don't just write it off if that all sounds a bit predictable, having listened to all of the series currently on Audible UK the action is unrelenting and there are some clever twists, innovations and great set piece battles to enjoy at almost every stage.

The package of all three books together was an excellent idea, I was at first put off by the shortness of the original three titles but this compilation is an excellent use of a credit. Great idea.

The narration is genuinely good suiting the pace and character of the books. A tough, uncompromising tone reflecting both the story and the characters that populate it.

Definitely recommended!

Non-serious note for UK listeners . . . when I originally read the summary part of the reason for buying was "Fortress Britain", finally not a book about the Americans saving the world I smiled to myself! Alas it's not so, us "Brits" got lucky with it being a pure fluke that Britain stood tall! Well that and our willingness to machine gun the French apparently! It is still the US saving the world but don't be put off, us Brits do get to play a part and even though the narrator struggles with the English accent it won't put you off at all.

Zombies, Spec Ops, Like Them, You Will Love This!

What did you like best about this story?

Where to begin?

While I suppose these books do stand alone of sorts to get the full benefit you really need to follow the series and while I detest the fan boy tag I have got to say these books are great and I cannot recommend them enough. What I can say without spoilers (hate spoilers) is the characters in the series you really grow invested in them. They make you laugh, but I am to manly to say cry, and you care about them and you care that the missions or objective are successful.

What about R.C. Bray’s performance did you like?

I think Bray is a great narrator, The characters come alive and the voices are on point. I have actually purchased other authors books due to the quality of his narrative skills and they did not disappoint.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

To keep my man card, Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? will be a question that I refrain from responding to.

Any additional comments?

Buy them they do not disappoint (based books 1 through 9)
