Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,188
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time.

Deep in the woods of Maine, there is a dark state facility where kids, abducted from across the United States, are incarcerated. In the Institute they are subjected to a series of tests and procedures meant to combine their exceptional gifts - telepathy, telekinesis - for concentrated effect. Luke Ellis is the latest recruit. He's just a regular 12-year-old, except he's not just smart, he's super-smart. And he has another gift which the Institute wants to use....

Father Damien Karras: 'Where is Regan?' Regan MacNeil: 'In here. With us.' The terror begins unobtrusively. Noises in the attic. In the child's room, an odd smell, the displacement of furniture, an icy chill. At first, easy explanations are offered. Then frightening changes begin to appear in eleven-year-old Regan. Medical tests fail to shed any light on her symptoms, but it is as if a different personality has invaded her body.

The Battle of Serenity Valley was the turning point that led the Independents to their defeat at the hands of the Alliance. Yet the Browncoats had held the valley for weeks against all odds, before being ordered to lay down their arms. Command stated they refused to send in airpower because the ground war was "too hot". But the soldiers who were there insist that was not true.... While picking up a new cargo on Persephone, Captain Malcolm Reynolds is kidnapped by a bunch of embittered veteran Browncoats who suspect him of sabotaging the Independents during the war.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Editor reviews
Max Brooks ist gelungen, was niemand für möglich hielt: In "World War Z. Operation Zombie" berichtet er eindringlich und doch besonnen, wie die Welt nach der Zombie-Apokalypse aussehen könnte. Auch im ungekürzten Hörbuch - gesprochen von David Nathan und Michael Pan - steht in diesem Was-Wäre-Wenn-Spiel die Erzähltechnik der Oral History im Vordergrund.
Die Sprecher bleiben bei der unkommentierten Aneinanderreihung von Augenzeugenberichten angemessen nüchtern. Der Inhalt erhält damit umso mehr Durchschlagskraft: Der Horror einer möglichen Zombie-Katastrophe wird von vielen Seiten und aus vielen Mündern beleuchtet. Damit hat Brooks eine Mischung zwischen Survival-Guide, Thriller, Horror und einen einmaligen Genrebastard geschaffen.
Dieses Hörbuch wird an deinem Glauben an die Unmöglichkeit von Zombies rütteln. Und selbst Skeptiker in Zombie-Fans verwandeln. Nimm dir schon einmal 14 Stunden am Stück Zeit. Denn den Pausenknopf wirst du ignorieren.

Greate small stories!
If you want to read something new, a book based on a big number of smaller stories which somehow are connected then this book is great . It shows the story of the world against the zombies through smaller stories from different people.

Sehe gute Zombie Kurzgeschichtensammlung
Für alle die sich fragen um was es hier geht: es handelt sich um eine Zombie Kurzgeschichtensammlung in Interview-Form a la "Was hätten die Leute zu erzählen, wenn sie gerade erst ein Zombie Apokalypse überlebt hätten?"
Grandiose Sprecher (wer Breaking Bad oder Better Call Saul kennt, dem wird eine Stimme bekannt vorkommen) und gute Storys! Wer mit dem Genre was anfangen kann wird sicher nicht enttäuscht werden!
