Road of the Damned

Life of the Dead, Book 2

By: Tony Urban

Narrated by: Matthew Crow

Book 2 in the hit zombie series listeners have described as "Stephen King's The Stand meets The Walking Dead."

In the weeks after a virus decimated humanity and left fewer than 5,000 people alive in the US, a diverse group of survivors struggles to stay alive. Farmer Wim Wagner has abandoned the safety of his farm in hopes of finding Ramey, the mysterious girl who flitted in and out of his life in the midst of the outbreak. But Ramey is on the road searching for her father and trying to locate the mysterious X on a map that promises safety.

Meanwhile, survivors like Jorge and Bundy find themselves lost on the road, trying to locate other human beings and fighting off hordes of zombies. Some rescue missions end in success, but others in tragedy.

Teenager Mitch is trapped in a secret underground bunker along with his mother and thousands of the undead.

Mina has escaped the hospital after killing her father when he turned into a zombie.

Grady desperately attempts to protect his autistic son after the boy died and returned as one of the undead.

They're only a few of the men and women fighting survival in a world where the dead have returned to life and overtaken the country. Will they find each other on the road or are they destined to live and die alone?

Crow is a horrible emotionless narrator

Maybe the publishers ran into a contract dispute with Moore (original narrator book one). But you cannot tell me they honestly thought Crow would be a decent replacement. The man reads like a machine with no accent, or emotion what so ever. His delivery is extremely antiseptic. I am struggling to get through this book because of it. Now that I see the next two in the series are performed by Crow I can't possibly get them. Talk about sucking the life out of an amazing story.

New narrator is blah

I really prefered the narrator from the first book. the story was fine overall but the voice switch is a minus.

Better than the first

I read a lot of this genre and I have to say, this series is shaping up to be among the best. Characters are all interesting. Situations believable. And of course zombies. Onto the next.

wow

what a story, it was interesting to see some of the characters cross paths and to find and loss love all in one book but the end was creepy my mind wonder if ?

Narrator

story was really good and exciting...but the narrator ????had to get use to his voice he was boring and i almost returned the book but I kept going because of the story which was really good

Road of the damned bk 2

This was a very good,funny Zombie apocolypse book!Matthew Crow was a fine narrator. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

How Big Is Your Combine?

Started off very rural/country. The story does get more energized as it goes along. A lot of descriptive phrasing to emphasize the gore. This is a decent sequel, but they switched narrators and not for the better. He talks like a military drill sergeant. I can only recommend if you have read the first book in the series. Check out the audible sample first.

Road of the Damned

Road of the Damned is the 2nd book in this series. I'm really enjoying both the characters and the story line. I only wish the narrator from the 1st book was finishing the series! Just stick with it, the series is worth putting up with a bad narrator.

New narrator

I'm having a lot of mixed feelings about this series, it's interesting, but it's not always good. Switching narrators from the first book doesn't help either. This series follows multiple protagonists, most of which are not good or capable people. There's only one character left that I'm truly interested in, once they die I doubt I'll continue the series, and it's rare that I don't finish a series.

Another vote here for unhappiness in narrator change

Story line is ok, it's entertaining enough to want to continue the series, but the change in narrator was initially jarring. His English accent is atrocious, and all his female voices sound whiny and obnoxious. What a shame....
