About this listen

In the Last Days of America, Hope Is Not a Plan

When a catastrophic scientific accident unleashes a virus that raises the dead, civilization collapses overnight. As cities fall and the government crumbles, a handful of survivors must navigate a landscape crawling with flesh-eating zombies and ruthless human predators.

Dr. Benjamin Lieber and Colonel Jack Crown, M.D., race to evacuate key personnel to a fortified compound. At the same time, Coach Mark Landi leads a group of teenagers in a desperate bid for survival. When Landi is bitten but shows immunity, he becomes humanity's best hope for a cure—if he can reach the safety of the Virginia compound alive.

From the blood-soaked streets of Washington, D.C., to the last bastions of human resistance, Zombie Apocalypse: The Origin is a heart-stopping thrill ride through the end of the world as we know it. With cinematic action, deeply human characters, and a chillingly plausible scientific basis, Michael K. Clancy reimagines the zombie genre for a new generation.

Clancy's meticulous research and attention to detail make the outbreak chilling plausible, grounding the horror in scientific possibility. Prepare for sleepless nights and racing hearts as you follow the interconnected stories of soldiers, scientists, teenagers, and ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances.

Who will survive? What will be left of their humanity? And can anyone find a way to turn back the tide of the undead before it's too late?

Zombie Apocalypse: The Origin is a must-listen for fans of apocalyptic fiction, zombie enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a story that combines heart-pounding action with deep, thought-provoking themes.

The saga continues with Zombie Apocalypse 2: WILDFIRE, Zombie Apocalypse 3: Ghost Territory, and Zombie Apocalypse 4: Rise of the Dead.

The story itself was detailed and well researched, if a bit technical in places. The characters were interesting and I was invested in what happened to them. Eric Priessman's voice is by turns knowledgeable and matter of fact, and comforting and empathetic, making the sinister twists and turns all the more terrifying. It's all too easy to see this, or something very like it, happening in a post pandemic world with things the way they are, but I felt like hope was not lost. Be warned, though. As the title suggests, this is only the beginning of the story!

Excellent choice of voice!
