    About this audiobook

    And the dead shall rise...

    Two hellish years. That's how long it's been since the hurricanes flooded the Gulf Coast, and the dead rose up from the ruins. The cities were quarantined; the infected, contained. Any unlucky survivors were left to fend for themselves. A feast for the dead.

    And the living shall gather...

    One boatload of refugees manages to make it out alive-but one passenger carries the virus. Within weeks, the zombie epidemic spreads across the globe. Now, retired U.S. Marshal Ed Moore must lead a group of strangers to safety, searching for sanctuary from the dead. A last chance for the living.

    Let the battle begin.

    In the North Dakota grasslands, bands of survivors converge upon a single outpost. Run by a self-appointed preacher of fierce conviction-and frightening beliefs-it may be humanity's only hope. But Ed Moore and the others refuse to enter a suicide pact. They'd rather stand and fight in the final battle against the zombies. An apocalypse of the dead.

      Awesome! I don't why there were so many people saying they didn't like this book, because I certainly found it very, very good. There was a little bit in the middle there that I thought the relationship between Dev and Katya to be a little strained and forced, but I guess it was the situation they were thrown in. Cried my heart out in the end.

      The 2nd book in a zombie trilogy, Apocalypse of the Dead by Joe McKinney is a non-stop thriller. The first book dealt with the early rise of the infection and took place over one night. This book picks up a couple of years later. America has built a wall isolating southern Texas and believes they have contained the infectious. Unfortunately with two thousand miles of coastline to patrol, one small boat of refugees easily evades the coast guard and would have made it safely to Florida, except one passenger was infected. By the time the boat drifted ashore, all on the boat had turned into zombie-like creatures. The virus spreads at lightning speed, and soon there is world-wide infection.The story follows various groups of people as their day-to-day lives collapse and they try to find a place of safety. Eventually these refugees are drawn to the North Dakota Grasslands to find a new life under the banner of a self-appointed preacher. But are they safe or have they instead put their lives in the hands of a madman?In true horror style, Apocalypse of the Dead is gory, gruesome and gritty. A fast paced story peopled with a variety of interesting characters. What I actually found the most chilling about this book, however, wasn’t the actual zombies, but the failure of authorities and governments in dealing with a massive epidemic. Now that is truly the stuff of nightmares.

      It's been about a year and a half and a hundred plus books since I read the first book in the series. As such, initially I had a bit of difficultly keeping track of where things were and the initial rotating of characters in the narrative had me feeling a little lost.Once the narratives started to merge together it was an enjoyable zombie survival novel with a couple of fresh ideas, not redefining, but fresh. Could have probably used a prologue to refresh the memory of readers like me.

      Wonderful and quick-paced apocalyptic zombie epic that is full of interesting characters struggling to survive in a world ladened with zombies and inhumane humans.

      good but not as good as the last one. still good though
    • 3/5
      Really good! I enjoyed the characterizations and thought the author really grew when writing women. Lost my interest when the Jim Jones parallels really started. Worth a listen if you like zombie stories.

      What a ride! I assumed I was mostly over zombie stories and downloaded this on a whim, so glad I did. You'll be introduced to characters you may dislike or be rooting for at first, only for your opinion to change later on. So many memorable characters that you are with every step of the way. Can't wait to listen to the next one. Also I didn't know this was book 2 and I wasn't lost, great job by the author
