A prehistoric virus. An infectious primal hunger. Some discoveries are better left buried...

James would much rather hang out with his friends than go hunting with his father, the survivalist. What starts out as another uneventful trip, however, takes a hard turn for the worse when they’re attacked without explanation.

Panic-stricken and running for his life and trying to get back to his family, James and a handful of other survivors are forced to fight an enemy they cannot beat on grounds they do not know.

The odds are not in their favor, but if they want to survive, they must venture deep into the deadly unknown, right down to the heart of his ravenous horde.

Wow

Great series highly recommend and b c archer was fantastic! Looking for more books now

Good...but all the car accidents are annoying

Overall good. this would make a good series on Amazon. My only gripes are the constant car accidents...man it's DAM annoying. The only other issue is that they don't learn...for example they keep leaving the women/girls unarmed to explore and of course they get attacked. The writing only suffers when the 15 year is made to be more revelant.

The other that the story is not bad, there is always new environments, people and situations that makes things interesting.

good story other then main character

As others have stated the mc is very stupid he makes the same mistakes over and over then crys about it just to repeat later. I think we all forget this is a 15y old kid and not Rambo. The story was fun overall but with the beginning of the book it was looking like the mc would be a trained survivalist and not the immature kid he turned out to be, would have been better if he died saving his sister because that's just the more realistic outcome. yes I said realistic about a zombie book get over it.

Worth the credit

Great goon, believable characters and great plot. Wasn't a fan of the ending but good

First Timer

First Audio books I've ever listened to and I was not disappointed can't wait to read more.

cliche

This is the first time I have ever left a negative review which, in it of itself, should be evidence enough. I am so easily entertained, I rarely don't enjoy a book.
I think almost every third line had a cliche phrase or saying in it. It's hard to ignore something happening constantly and it irritated me a little more each time it happened. There are cliche sayings following a cliche saying. The author would have two conflicting cliche sayings in the be same sentence, they would be complete opposites, it would be something like; He slowly ran fast. It was mind boggling.
The Narrator's performance was mundane, the last book wasn't as dull as all the previous books. Yes I listened to the entire set, primarily as a personal challenge. Also
the author killed off everyone who helped the protagonist. Some guy would be introduced into the story, they would get separated, another guy would be introduced and few minutes later the protagonist would come across the previous guy's character, who would have been bitten and the protagonist would have to be the one to shoot him in the head. I'm sure some people really enjoyed it, but I didn't and those are my reasons.

Great story but...

it's a book series I would definitely recommend. My only hang up was James himself. He was great in the first book but it's like he got dumber and weaker as the series went on. He had trouble climbing a ladder for fricks sake. I get he's 15 but common sense to not just stand around day dreaming or yelling would be great. It was a great story I just would have left him behind.

I really liked the story

I have no idea how this kid survived. When he wasn't sounding like a whiny kid and doing rash things or NOT doing what needed to be done, he was full of bravado and saying how he had to handle things better then goes and does something rash again. The rest of the characters were great. I look forward to listening to more by Derek Shupert.

great

one of my favorite series. great storyline very well read. will try more of this writers books.

good nuff for me

I enjoyed the books overall. the narration was not what I would have hoped for but it wasn't terrible either.
