About this listen

Nations collapsed. The undead rose. Some people survived.

Three months after escaping from London, Bill discovers the true extent of the global war that followed the outbreak. Most of the world has been destroyed, but though ruined farmland and abandoned cities are filled with zombies, there are other survivors and there is a safe haven - so he is told - in a small village on the Irish coast.

Before he can go there, he must find and rescue the children. Then he'll have to battle his way through the infected wastelands of England and Wales in hopes that there really is a boat waiting for them. Even then, his journey won't be over.

When he's told of the sanctuary awaiting them, he also discovers that the scientist who created the virus escaped from New York. In order for any of them to ever truly be safe, Bill will have to head north to confront the man, discover the truth behind the outbreak, and finally choose between his old family and his new one.

A story that keeps getting better

Not as gripped listening to this as the ones before.
I don't think Sholto is much of an addition as a character tbh.
Overall, this book rambles more and has kept less of my attention.
The same great narration though.

Not as good as the preceding books.

Following the gripping first 3 books series (plus the side book) that I read fast, I was looking forward to book 4. Although still mostly a good book, I found myself drifting at times, it didn't have quite the edge the 3 others had, but towards the end of the book it picked up again to something more exciting . I will still recommend this book as there are plenty more books in the series to go and the overarching story and characters still has me hooked.

Tim Bruce again great performance and kept in character for the audible read.

Book 4 a series I still adore
