About this listen

Ravenous flesh eaters. Desperate survivors. One teenager will take them all down to find his sister.

Fifteen-year-old James barely recognizes the killer he’s become. Still reeling from the loss of his parents, he’s vowed to slaughter as many of the bloodthirsty horrors as he can before they eventually tear him to pieces. But a flicker of hope ignites in his heart when he learns that his sister may still be alive in a California military research center.

Abandoning the safe zone with chasers on their heels, James, his two remaining allies, and his trusty dog Duke search the infested interstate for the mysterious base. But though the highway is crawling with the infected, the gun-toting scavenger survivors may pose a deadlier threat.

Can James and his crew outrun the rising hordes in a daring bid to reunite with his sister?

Executioner is the gripping third book in the fast-paced Dead State post-apocalyptic series. If you like courageous heroes, gritty action, and super-cool zombies, then you’ll love Derek Shupert’s roller coaster road trip.

The Executioner, the third book in the Dead State series, is brilliantly written, suspenseful, exciting, and entirely engaging. This book has all the required ingredients required to captivate the readers/listeners, wondering what's next. The action is intense, injected with great timing while keeping the excitement on high gear. Derek Shupert is an exceptional author who has created a gripping post-apocalyptic world with compelling characters.

I was wholly impressed by B.C. Archer's narration, his skills as a narrator have grown. He injected the emotions and intensity found in the pages, bringing the story to life. I was entirely absorbed. Overall, this was a fantastic listen; I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this audiobook, and highly recommend it. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Next, please

I have listened to all the books in this series so far and with each one the series gets better and better. The storyline again follows James and his friends through the post apocalyptic world full of chasers. There are some pretty hairy moments which had me holding my breath.

I have really enjoyed listening to this book and I’m looking forward to book 4 being released on Audible.
