Infected Dead Series Boxed Set, Books 1-3

By: Bob Howard

Narrated by: Graham Halstead

Set on the coast of South Carolina, an unknown infection has caused people to die and come back to life as reanimated corpses, attacking any living person. This is the story of the survival of one man who was the benefactor of a shelter that helped him to live through the onslaught of the infected dead. Beginning with the initial days of the apocalypse, Ed Jackson watches the world die from the safety of his shelter, but there are others who are also trying to stay alive as they seek refuge. He must decide who he will take into his shelter and who he will reject, and those decisions will help him to form the bonds he did not have even before the end of the world. He and his new friends are faced with the dangers of the dead world as they are forced to leave the safest shelter anyone could possibly have in order to do more than simply exist in a zombie infested world.

twist and turns

the story was well written and well read I can't find a way to pick apart the book.

I'm on book 7 now loved them all

I happened upon these books and decided to give it a try and I love them. love the characters especially chief Barnes good story and narrator did an excellent job. definitely would give it a try.

Overall enjoyable easy listen

Well rounded story but has some lose ends that leave you wondering “what was that was about”
Likable characters that sometimes make poor choices

Wonderful book, fun story, monotone-ish delivery

First, the story can hold your interest just fine, it's fun and you find yourself loving the experience. However, the narration leaves a little to be desired, and the book only feels about 70% as great as it should. The Narration isn't as poor as a virtual voice, dear lord those audiobooks are so tough to listen to that I feel like I'm punishing myself for something I didn't do; however, the narration isn't too much better. The near-monotone reading would be perfect for an academic book, but for a book that should be an interesting and fun escape for the mind, it falls short. I had to force myself to continue to listen until the end because I did truly enjoy the story, but it almost felt like a chore to have to listen to it. Despite this, I would still strongly recommend you give this a listen. The story does trump the narrator's efforts, and when it was done I was glad I marched on with this.

The detail the author gives to personalize the characters.

I love this series, the Flow, action, imaginable, authenticity, storyline, characters, all of it!!! I can't wait to read the rest of them! I am hooked on this Author!

One of the best postap series I’ve listened so far

It’s good, very good. Story is very balanced and because of that it keeps you engaged! I normally buy a box set and by book 3-4 I don’t care anymore, but this one - it’s book 5 and feels like I just started . There is everything:: action, adventures, new locations, likeable characters that you want as your friends, spin-offs are added on a perfect timing . And the author keeps the track of the Al the above and you never feel lost in the narrative . I loved Slow Burn by Bobby Audaire and this is second series in a long term that I wish just never ended. Could listen and listen about that group and their adventures . Thank you!

The whole story is very well written.

This is an amazing series worth the listen. perfect for long days. Extremely addictive book series. I can't say enough.

Good listen but also…

This is a decent zombie tale, no reason not to give it a listen. It’s not particularly frightening but it has interesting plot points. However, I found the overall premise annoying and unrealistic— where a group of people have a totally safe haven in an apocalypse and repeatedly choose to leave it for unnecessary (even stupid) reasons. Made me sort of wish the group would lose one of their beloved members pretty fast an a outting, so reality of their unnecessary risks would hit them.

Books 1-3

Great read, narrator, and story. I really enjoyed it and am on to the next in this series.

Great story, although a bit beyond belief.

Very entertaining, and minimally gory. Almost a PG version of a zombie apocalypse. Worth a listen.
