About this listen

Like a brick at a birthday cake.

Shoreham Port in Brighton, England, has been secured by Adrian Ring alongside his friends, with the five navy ships that made the trans-Atlantic voyage to find the European Trinity. He must find the Soul, the Scribe, and the Warden and get them on their path, as he walk his, but there are obstacles.

The undead in Europe are faster and stronger than anything they’ve encountered, and the survivors here are hungry, and desperate for help. They can’t fight every zombie, but each one they pass could be a lethal threat to their own people, or to the locals who’ve fought hard to survive.

Luckily, he encounters a small, well-armed group of car-equipped survivors, led by a friendly man calling himself Chief, who dwarfs even the burly Adrian. They decide to work together to procure ground vehicles for the march north.
But Chief isn’t the savior he’s pretending to be, and there are far more monsters roaming in the dark of the old world than Adrian is prepared to face.

Dead Cities contains Adrian’s journal entries from September 9th, 2014 through November 27th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions The Ghost in the Boiler Room, Rachel and Mara, Fetters, Sanctuary, and Ernest Goes for a Walk.

I enjoyed this book, much as I have enjoyed the series so far. It introduces new characters, a new country and new goals - something of a reboot to coincide with the new story arc.

While it will take some getting used to the new narrator, he has at least kept as close to embodying the Adrian Ring we have grown to appreciate thanks to James' narrative skills. Yet there are times I felt a bit too much or too little tempo used, alongside some moments of excessive dramatics, it was an overall excellent job.

Something to keep in mind is that this is effectively a fresh start with a very familiar plot and thus may move a touch slower when compared to the pace of the last few final novel entries which we have grown accustomed to. Don't let that dissuade you, as i feel it moves at the same pace as books 1 and 2 and a meager to discover when it once again matches the pace and content we were so thrilled with before.
