About this listen

Escape is the first omnibus containing Escaping the Dead, Tales of the Forgotten, and Only the Dead Live Forever in one collection.

From the outbreak in Afghanistan to the struggles at sea, Brad and his comrades realize the war for humanity has only just begun. And there's no guarantee any of them will survive the long journey home....

Escaping the Dead: Alone in a foreign land. The radio goes quiet while on convoy in Afghanistan, a lost patrol alone in the desert. With his unit and his home base destroyed, Staff Sergeant Brad Thompson suddenly finds himself isolated and in command of a small group of men trying to survive in the Afghan wasteland. Every turn leads to danger. The local population has been afflicted with an illness that turns them into rabid animals. They pursue him and his men at every corner and stop. Struggling to hold his team together and unite survivors, he must fight and evade his way to safety.

Tales of the Forgotten: The world is at war with the Primal Virus. Military forces across the globe have been recalled to defend the homelands as the virus spreads and decimates populations. Out on patrol and assigned to a remote base in Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Brad Thompson's unit was abandoned and left behind, alone and without contact. They survived and have built a refuge, but now they are forgotten. No contact with their families or commands. Brad makes a tough decision to leave the safety of his compound to try and make contact with the States, desperate to find a rescue for his men. What he finds is worse than he could have ever predicted.

Only the Dead Live Forever: The escape from Afghanistan was only the beginning. The trio survived the initial fall and thought they had reached safety, but find themselves once again abandoned and surrounded by the primals. Having no contact with their families or commands, they must fight to continue on....

The author W. J. Lundy used his imagination to create a whole different plot for an undead story.
Full of expected and much unexpected twists which catches you totally unprepared.



Beautiful narration by Andrew Wehrlen for each of the characters in this creation.


My full recommendations !!!

The mix of military realism with a zombie apocalypse backdrop is both fresh and intense, and you can tell the author’s background adds an authenticity that makes the story stand out. The pacing is excellent, action when it’s needed, quieter moments when the characters have to process what’s happening, and just enough twists to keep me leaning forward.
What really elevated the experience for me was Andrew Wehrlen’s narration. He gives each character a distinct voice without overdoing it, and his delivery kept the tension high through all the big moments. I found myself completely invested in the team and their fight to survive.
If you enjoy action, survival stories, or anything with a strong military edge, this is absolutely worth your time.

Great story and brilliantly narrated

Only listened to book 1 of this omnibus, and purchased the rest of the series. Starts right from the start of the zombie outbreak, what caused it, then the persuing fall of civilisation. A must for any zompoc fan.

Great story and narration.
