About this listen

The world would die laughing....

When a new disease turns people into sadistic, laughing killers, a light infantry battalion fights to maintain order in Boston. As infection spreads, the Army loses control, and the soldiers find themselves fighting the people they once swore to protect.

As the country slides into violent collapse, the lost battalion learns the last bastion of the federal government is still holding out in Florida. Harry Lee, its commander, decides the only hope is to lead the survivors there.

But first, they must cross more than a thousand miles of an apocalyptic America, hunted by a savage and merciless enemy.

Inspired by The Anabasis and written by a team of best-selling zombie authors—Craig DiLouie, Stephen Knight, and Joe McKinney—The Retreat: The Complete Series for the first time brings together all six volumes, chronicling a horrific vision of the apocalypse and a brutal depiction of courage in the face of impossible odds.

Volume includes the following works:

  • The Retreat: Pandemic
  • The Retreat: Slaughterhouse
  • The Retreat: Die Laughing
  • The Retreat: Alamo
  • The Retreat: Crucible
  • The Retreat: Forlorn Hope

R C Brays deliverance of the story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
First off, as any of his fans will know, R.C Bray was yet again faultless. His narration can go from witty to serious to saddening seamlessly. He pulls it all off and can really make an audiobook (not that this needed it).


The writing styles were good, the multiple character set up was engaging with great character development, combining this with pace of the books it really left you feeling that no one was safe.
True it was slightly cliche at times but for the most part it was concise and engaging with just the right amount of humour thrown in against the tension.

The concept is really very good, a novel twist on the “undead” narrative.

Would really recommend!

A great Addition to your collection
