About this listen

An unstoppable curse. A dead man displaced from his time. How do you survive the zombie apocalypse when you started it?

Digby Graves, a deceased medieval peasant with delusions of grandeur, is trying to figure out how the hell he ended up in Seattle eight hundred years after his death. Also, why does he have necrotic magic coursing through his zombified body? Added to that is the fact that he made a terrible first impression the moment he woke up by lunging at the first person that came into biting range.

Now, the curse he unleashed is loose in the world. Digby has a target on his back and only fragmented memories of his death. He needs to survive long enough to put the pieces back together, learn what it means to lead the horde, and master his power over the dead. Digby might even find a few accomplices along the way, if he can hold off on eating them.

The end of the world is gonna get weird.

A well written bit of lite fun . If you don't like litrpg it won't ruin a entertaining story . And if you love litrpg there's move than enough of it here for you . But it's part of the story , not the story it's self . Just a fun book that keeps you entertained . Will be getting the next one . The narrator was excellent

This book is exactly like the cover suggests it's going to be - it's a fun zombie romp, leaning more into adventure than horror.

Basic summary: a dude from the middle ages gets turned into a zombie and wakes up in slightly-future America (tech is a bit more advanced, but only by maybe 30 years or so). He unintentionally starts a zombie outbreak when he bites someone, and then story goes on from there. There are lots of powers, not too many stat pages (good for audio) and some really creative uses to the abilities that the MC is given.

There were some issues with the book, to be sure (the MC is a jerk for most of the book, and not in a good way, and the flashbacks are annoying), but the story was just so much fun that these were easy to ignore. I found myself wanting to listen to this story at every opportunity I could, even if I could only put in my headphones for a couple of minutes. This adventure reeled me in... I just wanted more, more more. If you like fun, light-hearted romps with a dash of zombie, this one is for you.

Fun Zombie Romp

It's well written but just kinda mediocre. The characters are interesting. But it's just so meh

not bad but not great

If you are looking for a book that is a little darker look no farther. David Petrie does a great job bring to unlife Digby Graves. He is a zombie necromancer from the 1200s that is frozen in ice and thawed out in current day Seattle. David does a great job character building setting up a great plot line.

Great series

Creative premise, good writing and solid story.

I have little to mope about in regards to this book!

Solid on writing, story, characters, no tropes or uber-power fantasy.

The main character is bit of a 'puckish rogue' anti-hero, maybe a little bit arrogant, but always in a fun way, never annoying.

Its not the next Asimov or anything, but damned if its not a solid entertaining story.

Came for apocalypse, stayed for awesome characters
