Summary

Adrian forgave himself. The undead have been banished and he's accepted the love of friends, family, and some strangers. He's started a better life. 

Bastion grows day after day as pilgrims come to put down roots near the vaunted Trinity. Crops are growing, babies are being born, supplies are being salvaged, restful dreams are being had, and there's even talk that the government is surfacing to reform. 

All his problems should be getting better now, right? 

But some battles start after the last shot is fired. 

They call themselves The Northern Valley Cooperative. 

Adrian's known about them for years. Always on his fringe, never in his face, they built a fortress out of a ski resort, and brought everyone near them to heel. And now, with winter bearing down on Adrian's world, the NVC is marching south. 

Are they friends, or are they foes? 

Either way, Adrian's got a loaded gun on his hip, and he's surrounded by people he'd die for. 

He just might. 

The Dealer of Hope contains Adrian's journal entries from September 21, 2013 through November 30, 2013. It also contains the side fictions "Desperation", "Junkyard Dogs", "Strange Bedfellows", "No One's Home", "A City Laid Asunder", and "One Last Hurrah".

“Mr. Philbrook has come back with a fresh voice and story, without abandoning everything his fans loved about the series. It’s like a homecoming where all the warm feelings of familiarity drain out in dread as the front door opens.... Welcome home.” (Jeffrey Clare, author, All Things Zombie

Great continuation

Great story as always.
Looking forward to listening to the next chapter.
Found the continuation to be fluid and unhurried but never boring

An excellent continuation

I absolutely adore Adrian's Undead Diary, i cannot wait to listen to the next book. i think i will be rather depressed when i finish the series and the only positive is, i can relisten to it all over again 😉 Chris Philbrook is an amazing author and a really nice guy!

It's back and the quality is still rising

I'll admit that when this book dropped I was worried that the series might have jumped the shark or that there wouldn't be enough meat on the bone to continue the story but I'm happy to say my fears were unfounded. Not only does the book continue the story perfectly but it also raises the quality of the immersion even higher because of the world building that has gone before and the characters that you already love. If you're a fan of the earlier books then definitely dive back in to this one and if you haven't read the original series then go and grab Dark Recollections and you will fall in love with it. The AUD series displaced some serious literature to get a place in my all time top ten and I can't recommend it highly enough. Not only is the story fantastic but the pairing of James Foster as a narrator is an absolute match made in heaven.
