About this listen

The stunning conclusion to Erin Locke's trilogy has arrived.

Lockey’s community continues to expand, but clashes with other survivors increase with equal intensity. Reunited with old friends and new ones accepted into their fold, things take a dark turn when the Nomads take a personal interest in Lockey. Selected by some unknowable force to lead one of humanity’s last bastions of defense in a global war against the dead, the Dark will use any weapon to ensure her failure.

As Lockey and Nate search for the final member of their mystical trio, their dreams haunted by ghosts of the fallen, the Nomad threat intensifies, putting Lockey’s heart through its most fearsome crucible yet.

Despite the eruption of conflict with the Nomads, Lockey’s confrontation with Maddock is inevitable, as both are marked as champions for the powerful forces at play. Countless lives depend on the outcome; one a burning flame of hope for humanity’s continuing survival, the other a menacing general of the dead. Only by dethroning Maddock can Lockey and Nate’s community have a chance to build something better from the ruins of their shattered world.

For the survivors caught in the crossfire, the stakes could not be higher; hope for a future, or a spiral into dark oblivion.

Because one way or another, the Devil will get his due.

I have been keenly awaiting the release of the book, having throughly enjoyed the brilliant first two installments. I thought "I'll get it on release and enjoy it throughout the Christmas break."

Didn't even make it to Christmas eve. That's how unputdownable this audiobook is.

The story is fantastic, it's got great pace, brilliant character arcing hailing back to the first two installments. Sorrow, grief, joy, hilarity, redemption are throughout to name some of the roller coaster.

I am very disappointed that this seems to be the end of Lockey and Nate chronicles. You can't do this to me Meadows. I can only hope one day I'll get an audible notification and up will pop Lockey and Particles battling through the zompoc wasteland. Make it happen please!

If anyone is wondering whether or not to listen, just do it. Now. It's a fresh perspective on the genre in a rich established universe that's already got plenty of content.

10/10 will listen again, likely in a week or two.

The best of the lot!

Carl's intricately woven path is iluminated by excellent characterisation brought to vivid life by Danielle. Again!

Another triumph for Author and Narrator.

I hope this isn't the last book in the series. it was really good. The characters are special and I've grown to love them. I would hate to think this was the end. listen to it as it's a cracker!

loved it!

This is a brilliant finale to the trilogy and it wraps up all the story arcs in a thrilling and suitably irreverent manner, it has all the elements that I loved in the first two books including Death's Grandad doing what he does best. Although these are zompoc books, personally I love them for the human characters in them much like I did with the original Adrian's Undead Diary that inspired this trilogy - these are books about humans doing human things with a backdrop of a truly awful end of the world (with a possibility of redemption?) and this journey of remaining not just alive but HUMAN through this struggle is what I read these books for. Still get a lot of laugh out loud moments though from the dialogue between Lockey and Nate and some truly epic action scenes so there's something for everybody :) Anyway....damn good book closing off a damn good trilogy, you should probably buy it :D

Yeah...we're gonna need another Lockey book please

Another great installment, Lockey is back with her trademark sarcastic potty mouth and the world is better for it. Can really feel the universe's merging with Adrian's Undead Diary, but still think if you haven't read that series, you'll be fine too.

Fantastic
