About this listen

Tucked away in a high-tech Tactical Operations Center, inside an isolated safehouse in the Horn of Africa, sits Agency analyst Zack Altringham. He is Kenyan-born, Princeton-educated, badly burnt-out - and condemned by his language and cultural skills to a lifetime of fighting America's shadow counter-terror wars. But when another mystery epidemic breaks out, terrifyingly quickly it reaches a tipping point and chaos descends - and Zack and his team (including two former Team Six SEALs) are trapped between the millstones of the sick and the dying on one side, and heavily armed militias on the other. Soon their "safe" house is in flames, and their only remaining option is to get in their up-armored SUV and try to escape the imploding gravity well of the city, to the safety of the American military base in Djibouti. But by then, will there be anywhere safe left on Earth to escape to?

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, having started with this book first, I look forward to watching the rest of the show and listening to Bray's excellent vocals on the voiceover.

I'd recommend reading this before starting book 7 it gives back ground and can be read as a stand alone or as an addition to book 7 and the series as a whole.

Excellent prequel to series.
Having heard 1-3 wasn't sure what to expect but didn't disappoint. Filled in background rather than repeat anything. And a few teasers as to how series may develop. Can't wait for book 4

Pure entertainment. It's not for everyone but the performance is so much fun and easy listening, it becomes hard to stop listening.

The zombie franchise embellish the Armed Forces to be pure super heroes but it makes for a compelling, heart pounding listen.

Entertainment.

Brilliant prequel to the series! I decided to get this after book 5 while waiting for my next credit to start, wow I wish I read it first, it's a fantastic prequel to the ZA as it unfolded. Storyline and non stop action constantly engaggdd my imagination. Loving main character Zac and Bexter... I hope they get linked up in the next books!!!! I sure they will 👍

Brilliant prequel to the series!

I stayed away from this series as a sample was R.C Bray doing an english accent and not quite getting there...However its few and far between English characters are not really the main focus , the yanks are..and its getting much better ....
I highly recommend...
......THE HIDDEN SHIP....

Start the series with this one...

If you like this kind of thing (and I have discovered that I do) then you'll like this. Good, fast paced zombie action seen through the eyes of a Special Ops team with excellent narration from RC Bray. This short book gives the background to the main "Arisen" series and can be used as a good taster.

However, it's worth considering not reading this one first. I read it between books 5 and 6 as an example and I would suggest it's better this way as the back story means more by then. From other reviews it seems this does stand alone but I genuinely enjoyed going back to the story that until then had just been hinted at.

Your choice of course, but either way it's a credit well spent.

Good prequel, read it any time!
