About this listen
The first book in the bestselling zombie horror series from the author of Young Bond.
‘Lord of the Flies with zombies . . . tons of nail-biting action!’ Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series
Every time he thought they’d gone, he heard them again. Searching for him.
The sickness struck everyone over fourteen. First it twisted their minds. Next it ravaged their bodies. Now these zombies roam the streets, crazed and hungry.
In a destroyed London, the young hide in gangs, scavenging to survive, but with little hope for the future. Until rumours of a safe house travel across the city. But to get there they must face the Enemy – the mindless zombies who lie in wait.
Can these kids trust each other long enough to make it out alive?
Don’t miss the next book in this edge-of-your-seat series: The Dead.
‘The Enemy scores high with its brutal vision of a post-apocalyptic world’ Financial Times
‘Clever . . . fast paced . . . inventive’ Guardian
Read unabridged by Paul Whitehouse.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I already have! I polished the whole book off in a weekend and instantly recommend the book to my mate and his teenage son who both devour The Walking Dead TV show.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Enemy?
The swimming pool scene early in the book had me on the edge of my seat. Charlie Higson has written some great characters in this book and bravely (or stupidly) isn't afraid to kill them off. This adds a real element of dread for the characters welfare.Especially when they are in peril, as all the bets are off as to whether they will live or die! The ambush in the park is done well too, an unexpected attack on the refugees by unlikely assailants!What does Paul Whitehouse bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A great reading from Charlie Higson's co conspirator Paul Whitehouse. Paul creates easily recognizable characters using a variety of different London accents, tones and dialects to instill individuality in both sexes. The action segments really keep you stoked!Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Some of the deaths are surprising. I mentioned before its a brave move for Charlie Higson to make to dispatch central characters early on in a series but it keeps the books edgy. No one is safe!Any additional comments?
This was a great book and brilliantly read by Paul Whitehouse. Why, oh why aren't the rest of the series on Audible UK? Come on guys, this is a growing UK franchise, lets support it!Zombies V's Teens

I have listened to all the young bonds, by Charlie Higgson, with my son previously so was convinced that it would be well handled for the age group.
My other son is talking about zombies this weekend which made me reconsider this book. First son read it around 14th birthday and the 2nd may get the audio before he is 12, - I might listen to it again first to be sure.
Great read - well handled.
