As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized, and martial law, curfews, and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the United Kingdom were to be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast and the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic. For George Tull and the other residents of the Waverly-Price Retirement Home, walking to the coast is not an option.

After a long day of prepping a house for painting, all Gus Berry wanted was the night off to spend some time with his girlfriend and relax before having to return to work the next morning. But that isn’t going to happen. Because Gus’s co-worker Benny has found a one-night job at the local Mollymart East, a job that has to be done by morning. If Gus and his paint crew can complete the work by then, it could mean huge business with a respected, established grocery store chain.

Anglesey became a refuge for survivors from across the world, but living in the shadow of a decrepit nuclear power station was always a precarious existence. There is only one destination for their final exodus from Britain, but Belfast won't become their new home. There are fewer undead on the island of Ireland, but they still number in the millions. With farming impossible, with the weather worsening, with ammunition exhausted, desperation turns to despair. All seems bleak, but the survivors are unaware how desperate their situation truly is.

The survivors have come to settle in the mountains of Wyoming, fighting day in and day out to establish a home for themselves in a near-empty world. Things are good at first; scavenging is a workable, short-term solution that seems to be providing all they need. But they know that it’s only a matter of time before the food runs out. They need to scramble to find a sustainable solution before the clock stops, and for a little handful of people up in the mountains, the odds don’t seem very favorable.

First review after listening to nearly 200 books!
What made the experience of listening to The Undead the most enjoyable?
Finally a Zombie book based in the UK that we can relate to.
What other book might you compare The Undead to, and why?
I've read lots of Zombie books but I suppose the nearest thing to it for me is Keith C. Blackmore Mountain Man series. But the major difference is that its based in the UK and not the US for a change.
What does Dan Morgan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Clear and concise narrating. I tend to listen to audio books whilst driving.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
All of it. I have listened and enjoyed the first two books in the series but this book gripped me right from the start. I love the way a Night Shift Supermarket manager can transform into a fighting zombie warrior who leads thousands.
Any additional comments?
This is a brilliant read and I'd recommend it to any Zombie Apocalypse lovers!

Absolutely brilliant
I've listened to the first 3 parts of this book, I'm completely hooked! I've even abandoned watching Friends on telly so I can listen to it!!! The narration is excellent, Dan Morgan's voice draws you into the story. When they fight, you fight with them, when they're empowered, you feel empowered, you feel the emotion with the characters, you suffer their losses and rejoice in their victories.
I 100% recommend this audio book

Not as good as the first 2
What did you like most about The Undead: Part 3?
I did enjoy this and it's worth a listen. Many good points but a few issues also:
1. Consistency - it's a little silly that Darren gets infected by 1 speck of infected blood that lands on his bottom lip, yet the others regularly get drenched head to toe during fighting yet do not become infected.
2. Introducing religion - reciting the Lord's Prayer - I thought this was utterly ridiculous.
3. The internal monologue Howie gets prior to fighting with himself - he's not schizophrenic so this doesn't make any sense.

Another great installment in this unique series. Haywood does a very good job mixing the gravity of the story with some light-hearted humor. I especially like the "hive-mind" persona of the infection. It gives a fresh spin on the zombie genre and sets it apart from other series.

On the edge of my seat....
What did you love best about The Undead: Part 3?
I've listened to the first 2 books and they were good, without a doubt. However, I like this book for different reasons. Book 3 is more about the battle within oneself. Howie is battling with what's right and what's wrong. What feels right and what ...I guess, feels wrong.
By the end of this book, he finds his strength. The true strength that powers one even when he's on his last breath.
Any additional comments?
If you've started the series, keep going. It can only get better .....I think...

War and...all the stuff immediately preceding war
Good as ever! A bit bogged down with tactical details, but not to an unbearable degree- author keeps it broad and easy to follow without needing you to be a gun enthusiast to keep from passing out due to sheer boredom brought on by droning lists of models, calibers, comparisons of two nearly identical firearms, etc. Instead he focuses on actual tactics and preparations, littered with character building and interactions. By far the most tedious volume, but that's not saying much as days 1-6 weren't tedious in the least. May be slightly concerned and rather amused at the author's vast writing talents in regards to pooping.

What made the experience of listening to The Undead the most enjoyable?
The material is a great new twist on the zombie genre which is overplayed right now. Dan Morgan's voice work is great and is a huge part of what makes this work so well.
What did you like best about this story?
The infection, Mr Howie's drive and love for his sister, seeing Dave become more of a truly fleshed out character and one of my favorites in the entire series
What about Dan Morgan’s performance did you like?
How natural he makes it all sound. He has a "matter of fact" delivery on an entirely crazy subject matter while keeping it grounded in humanity as much as possible.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The infection is alive!
Any additional comments?
A great audiobook and if you love the zombie genre then this book is a nice refreshing change to it. It's a truly fun experience listening to this on my ride to and from work but the sign of a great audiobook is if I end up listening to it after my ride which for this one I ended up doing quite a bit.

Howie of the Dead III
Any additional comments?
I've enjoyed this series and that Haywood keeps upping the skills of the zombies to keep things interesting. In the second and (this) third installment however it seems that it loses its way. One thing about zombies is that they are impersonal killers and here Haywood takes the easy route and makes it personal. This creates a reason for them to pursue and launch mass attacks on Howie and his survivors. This takes away from the randomness that is part of the horror of the situation. Those old enough will remember Jaws II involved a Shark seeking revenge for the death of the Shark in Jaws I. This is sort of the same thing and hard to buy into. Also, the main characters repeatedly engage in unnecessary hand to hand combat with the zombies (oh theres a group of Zeds, lets stop our armored caravan and fight them mano a mano). Overall a good series with just these few gripes.

Think I've Had Enough
I never thought I would say that about a zombie apocalypse story. But this third book in the series, for me, was pretty terrible. I really enjoyed the first two, so I eagerly bought and listened to this one.
So many elements not to like: The cardboard manly men with their "fear the homosexual" banter. I mean here they are, fighting off hated zombies and the worst thing they could say to one another is that they are gay. I did not find that endearing or funny, no matter how realistic it might be for manly military men to engage in. But they blush at the slightest provocation, those being close proximity to a woman or a compliment. And they sure do love one another anyway. I mean, they'll lay down their lives for one another, but god forbid they are gay!
The constant, never-ending blowing up of zombies. I know there are hoards, but how many ways and times can one describe heads and brains blowing up? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy zombie gore, but this was so repetitive as to be numbing.
And the whole thing with Howie talking to his angry inner self and then yelling the lord's prayer at the zombie hoard. Sigh.
And TMI about all that weaponry. I got it. They have guns. They have explosives. Do we really need descriptions of how they work? Again and again?
And don't get me started on the infection scenario.
A big disappointment and the series stops here for me. I hope Howie and Dave win, but not sure I care.

maybe Mr Haywood was getting desperate
Any additional comments?
Ok, I finished book one and book two. I really should have stopped there.
A dozen guys spend a week bathing in zombie blood and gore, but suddenly one drop infects one poor guy? who then becomes the KING zombie..
Shouting bible verses at zombies? REALLY?
REALLY disappointing.

More same.
Yeah just another of the same thing. Hip hip hurrah for the zombie fighters. Still didn't do anything but another battle an lost more hero's. I'm finished with this day by day thing. I need another Mike Talbot or zombie rules series.
