De: Javan Bonds

Narrado por: S.W. Salzman

Mo Collins, the reluctant hero, has sailed around the country on board the replica pirate ship, the Viva Ancora, and now he finds himself only miles from his childhood home. But now the world has gone to hell. Hordes of naked, blue, biting zombies have flooded the now dead Alabama lake town. Mo and his only surviving shipmate, Crow, spend their days fishing and their nights watching the monsters roam, seeking untainted flesh and leaving a disgusting mess in their wake. But when a lone survivor stumbles upon Mo and Crow, they gain a new crew member but also find much needed direction. The newcomer, Smokes, will change Mo's view of this zombie-infested world forever.

As reality mimics fiction, an ever-growing cast of crazy characters plays out their role carving out an island sanctuary in a plague-ridden world. The Expert, The Tech, The Oracle, The Sacrifice, The Old Friend, plus many more.... Join us on this wild ride where the fish bite, the Zombies bite...sometimes life bites.

Welcome aboard, friend, to The Still Alive Series.

Narrator was a distraction

I liked the story and the characters but the narration was a distraction. Being a born and raised TN girl the southern accents were way off especially Moe and Smokes. But I really liked the humor and character interaction.

Loved it!

Absolutely the most fun zombie apocalypse book series. Great narration and excellent writing. Couldn’t recommend this book enough.

Enjoyable zombie 🧟‍♀️ series

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

This is my first zombie book. I don’t watch zombie shows or gasp, the walking dead! But I enjoyed this series and loved the humor in it. I didn’t mind the blood or gore as it was necessary for the story. I liked the narrator for the most part, the only voice I didn’t like was the hero, Mo. it wasn’t the accent so much as the cadence. However, it didn’t bother me enough to stop listening 😊 I look forward to moving onto the 5th book to catch up with all the characters.

love the books vary funny

love the books vary funny. puts a new twist on zombies can't wait to see what happens next

I laughed so hard

you will laugh so hard you may poop your pants. so worth it. great story.

Its worth the credit.

This one stands out in the zombie genre. More of a zombie comedy than a gruesome horror.

Still Alive

OMG, I freaking love this series! I have not laughed so hard while reading/listening to a book in a long, long time! I'm pretty sure that I snorted Coke out of my nose a few times (and, no, I don't mean Coca-Cola.....it was Mountain Dew!).

Javan Bonds has absolutely nailed what I have always pictured the Zompoc to be. Our protagonist, Elmo Collins (better known as Mo) decides to write a journal to chronicle his day to day life after the Peevies have taken over. He can't believe that he isn't seeing tons of dead bodies or zombies when he ventures off the replica pirate ship where he works. Instead, he encounters people who seem to be fellow members of a movie cast!

I love all of the movie/TV references throughout the book. And, Smokes is a walking stereotype that you just have to love! You have an old friend in Bradley, who is a paraplegic complete with his service monkey, Mary. Mr. Bonds throws caution to the wind and mentions just about every stereotype you can think of in his descriptions of his characters. I love that he doesn't seem to care about being PC (a rare thing in today's world!).

Being from the South, I especially enjoyed the scene in Wal-Mart, where our crew goes to find supplies. Of course, if you are from the South, you know that you ALWAYS meet somebody you know when you go to WM! Our group encounters Mo's old love (who he was too shy to really pursue) and the local drunken redneck, Walt, who is only there for the beer.

I would caution the listener to be aware that this is a series that is NSFW. You will definitely embarrass yourself if you listen in a public place by bursting into gales of laughter. If you are easily offended by politically incorrect stuff or cursing, give this one a pass. However, I never thought that I would be laughing like a pre-teen boy at some of the jokes, so you never know!

I could go on and on, but you just have to listen to this series to really appreciate all of the fun! S.W. Salzman does an absolutely amazing job with the accents and dialects throughout the book. I plan to continue this series (and reread these books often) and I know that I will always hear his voice when I do.

If you love Zombie books and want to read a unique one, grab this series and never look back! Great job, Javan! Keep up the good work & I'll meet you at the Wal-Mart!

Good series for a weekend warrior...

this story's take on a zombie apocalypse is entertaining and gross , in a fun way. The narrator does an exceptional job with the uniqueness of each character. It does take a while to get to the nitty gritty of fighting zombies, but the story is interesting along the way.

great series

just wanted to say tyvm i completely loved the 1st 34 books it so far has been a great listen
i will admit i did not really like the narrator in the beginning but i pushed though and he grew on me and made the series that much more enjoyable i truly cannot wait to get to book 5
thank you again for introducing you to your world

Fun and interesting

When I first started this I was unsure of the narrator. However as I got to back to you I finally realized that I enjoyed listening to the southern drawl. The story is unique and interesting and fun. I would highly recommend this series. I started book 5 and hope there will be other books coming.
