About this listen

The outbreak began in New York. Soon it had spread to the rest of the world. People were attacked and infected, and they died. Then they came back. Nowhere is safe from the undead.

As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized. Martial law, curfews, and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned.

Bill Wright broke his leg on the day of the outbreak. Unable to join the evacuation, he watched from his window as the streets filled with refugees, he watched as the streets emptied once more. He watched as they filled up again, this time with the undead.

He is trapped. He is alone. He is running out of food and water. He knows that to reach the safety of the enclaves, he will have to venture out into the wasteland that once was England. On that journey he will ultimately discover the horrific truth about the outbreak, a decades-old conspiracy, and his unwitting part in it.

This is the first volume of his journal.

I love the style of the book but I know not everyone will. Its basically reading diary entries from the end of the world and following one man's journey. I didn't expect the end tho so that was good.

Ohhhh i can't wait to hear the rest.

I read a lot of these zombie horror genre books and I'm not too picky, but it's nice when I come across something that is genuinely excellent.

This centres around an Ordinary Person, but not one whose life and context is blatantly aimed at being relatable to the target demo of the readership. It means that the main character himself is interesting as well as the apocalyptic events and world around him.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm so glad there are 15 or more sequels!
