Summary
Apocalypse: Disorder and chaos ravage London when thousands are contaminated by the accidental discharge of an experimental bioweapon. The disease robs its hosts of rational thought, giving them a singular desire - find more living flesh to infect.
Aftermath: Peter, alone by choice and oddly thriving, finds himself suddenly responsible for the life of someone other than himself. Elsewhere, other survivors stake their own claims to land and resources, but the inexplicable swarms of undead threaten to gather and dissipate constantly.
Abandoned: The virus spreads to every corner of the country while the combined forces of the naval fleet set sail for deeper waters and leave the UK to its fate. The few groups that remain are separated after a fateful battle for England, left to their own devices.
Adversity: As if flesh-hungry zombies weren't enough, a harsh winter strikes.
Adaptation: The apocalypse continues in the penultimate chapter of the Toy Soldiers series. Will anybody make it out alive?
Annihilation: Fleeing the seemingly unstoppable enemy, the survivors pin their hopes on a final attempt for freedom, but that means they must turn their backs on their home forever.

Highly Commended
If you liked the Mountain Man series narrated by the superlative RC Bray then you are in for a real treat!
I searched for something suitable as a replacement read as I had listened to the whole series and saved this book in my library for a few months.
Although narrated by the sublime John Lee I just couldn’t give it a start - what a wasted few months they were, from the starting chapter it takes you and quite simply listened to it with every bit of free time available.
With a slightly different slant - with a more militarily base and with less visceral gore than MM it is nonetheless just as powerfully written by the excellent Devon C Ford if not better in detail.
I commend this series wholeheartedly to you the listener…

A must read
If you’re like me and a bit of geek for all things eighties, then you’ll absolutely love this book. I’m still shocked at all the historically accurate gear and equipment the characters use. The book itself is thrilling, chilling and exciting. I definitely recommend it.

brilliant
I read a review before i started this, the guy that reviewed it said he had read all Devon C Fords books and said there were no main characters and he gave it back as he said it was rubbbsh well he must have read a different book than this, I thought it one of the best ones yet the only thing I didn't like was the narrator pronunciation of a GPMG's nickname Gympy but pronounced it gimp py were my pronunciation as a army vetran would call it a Jim-py, I hope there i a continuation of the story with Peter.

Fantastic story!
I loved this, had me hooked from start to finish! I really got into Peter's story, it certainly got me invested.
If you're after emotion, progression, gore, and a gripping storyline... Toy Soldiers is for you!

Best story I have listened to in years
Outstandingly well written plot and story that unfolds and makes you feel like you are lost in the world with the characters as it's going to be a long ride with happy and dad moments to make you think. British walking dead is how I see this story

Truly sad when series came to an end
Realistic and endearing characters that I could empathise with and feel part of their journey.
Being British and listening to an end of the world type book set in Britain, with British culture with British narrator made me feel more connected to the story. Most genres hail from America and I sometimes struggle with the nuances and accents. Therefore this book was amazing as I loved the humour, the tempered down emotions and that not everything was a cliff hanger.
Showing my age, I grew up tin the 1980s for it was nostalgic revisiting the era and my formative memories. The author did well in recapturing that decade.
Toy Soldiers is brilliant and even if the zombie genre is not for you, this book may be for you. It’s much more than ‘see zombie, shoot, run and repeat’. It’s a story of survival, friendship, trust, relationships, leadership and fear.
If in doubt about reading this, there is no doubt, just buy it and enjoy the story.
