Summary
This exciting audio drama is based on an immensely popular podcast that has received hundreds of positive reviews and has had over four million downloads - and counting.
For Army Reserve soldier Michael Cross, the world as he knows it ends in an instant. One minute he’s in college, and the next rioters are roaming the highway around him, breaking into cars and literally tearing people apart. This is the day the dead walk. This is the world of We’re Alive.
The first season features 12 chapters packing performances and sound effects that rival movies and prove that modern audio drama is undead and well. Join our survivors as they band together, struggle to fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that zombies are far from the worst thing in a post apocalyptic Los Angeles, where the rules of human decency no longer apply.
Little food. Little water. Little hope. Who is lucky enough to say "We're Alive"?

The best zombie Podcast all in one place!
I used to follow the podcast from when chapter 4 part 2 was the latest episode. I found it very frustrating having to go in to menu to go to the next chapter chronologically or having to wait for the next 1 chapter to come out which was sometimes months between.
It's very much the biggest relief to have the whole season in one place.
These books are the best simply because its not a book, It as I like to call the "Audio to a Movie". The characters feel like real people relatable people. Sound Effects are great and add to all the emotions you feel for the characters.
A must Listen too especially if you are a zombie head.

I may be a zombie snob ...
So... I love a good zombie book but this jumps straight in with no pretext and doesn't make sense.
the actors are ok but it over acted and VERY American. I finished it but wouldn't recommend.

this book is not for me
repetitive story, more shootem up than story plot. Lots of action, if you like that sort of thing. The characters seem angry all the time, even with each other. it's more like a video game than an audio book, which for some people may be right up their street, but sadly not mine.

Fantastic book to listen to
Would you listen to We're Alive again? Why?
Yes, Definitely. What a fantastic way to narrate a book with a full cast rather than single reader ,Brilliant, really brought the book alive especially with music and sound effects thrown in. Great story, easy to listen to. I have 150 plus audio books now and love them all but this 3 book series (so far) is easily in my top ten favourites.
What other book might you compare We're Alive to, and why?
I guess it is a typical Zombie apocalypse style book of which I have several but I think for me its quite like the Walking Dead TV series of which Im quite a fan
Have you listened to any of Blackstone Audiobooks’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes I have several but for me this is a good book that really comes alive with this style of narrating. Im sure I would have still enjoyed this book if read by a single narrator but Im really pleased it isn't.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really but I did find myself laughing out loud on occasion, Not something I think Ive done with other books.
Any additional comments?
Loved it, Will listen to it many times Im sure. More books of all styles read this way please.

The best audio drama I’ve ever heard !
Production is second to none.
You can’t help but connect to the characters, even the nasty ones.
Shot through with great wit and a firm understanding of the genre.
The huge scale of the story lines and the pace which they unfold leaves you making excuses to get time alone to continue listening onto the next chapter.,
All four seasons make for an immensely absorbing listen.
First came across this on Pod Cast and felt I owed it to the makers (and myself) to buy the audible edition.
We’re Alive Lock Down is next 👌

Wow! Wow! Wow!
This was unlike any other audiobook I have listened to. I did this one in 48 hours on and off every opportunity . It was fantastic from the get go. Right through to the end. I have downloaded the other 3 seasons already. The whole book was so exciting and kept you on your toes all the way through. Owed at least 10 stars but can only give 5 stars. Don’t pass this one over.

Good quality
I liked it but some voices are very similar and so not always easy to tell who is talking
