The Dead Collection Box Set #1

Jack Zombie, Books 1-4

By: Flint Maxwell

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

One box set. Four Books. A must-listen!

How will you survive when the dead rise?

Jack Jupiter knows zombies. He's written about them for years. But no amount of writing can prepare him for the end of the world.

Because these zombies aren't in Jack's head. No, these zombies are real.

Jack Zombie is a thrilling post-apocalyptic series that follows a tight-knit group of people as they travel the zombie-ridden wasteland once known as the United States. As you follow Jack and his family, you'll soon discover that nothing can rival a human's will to survive.

This collection of the first four books in the series—Dead Haven, Dead Hope, Dead Nation, and Dead Coast—will have your heart pounding!

The dead collection?

Where are the “dead”? …..
At the very beginning? Ok yeah there were some
Book 2…. They make an appearance .
I think I just started just book 3 ,possibly 4 but I’m not going to check, its just so boring and tedious I can’t keep going. Whatever book it is they are already being held at gunpoint and this time………………..by cannibals (shocker).
I’m just going to go ahead an return and hopefully possibly find a actual “Zombie” book, Sorry Mr. Maxwell.

some weird things, but not bad.

the narration was a little dry. the bad guys could use a little more reality.

fun read

I enjoyed this book. , enjoy this story and the characters in the narrating. It was very entertaining, okay, the only issue is that the last 30 minutes were repeated and I thought that maybe they were gonna give me a different ending, but it was exactly the same the second time i listened to it.

I’m glad I ignored the reviews

I genuinely enjoyed this audiobook. I didn’t have high hopes based on the reviews, but it was refreshing as a story in itself. It focused more on the people than the zombies and wasn’t a constant preppers lesson book like other apoc audiobooks. I can see why some people would think that it was a slow story. It’s just not what is the norm in the zombie genre. Like I said, I was surprised I enjoyed it. I did speed the narrator up a little bit, and that really did help when listening. He’s definitely not the worst narrator I’ve heard though.

epic story full and complete

performance was great many times I laughed and a few I cried , so caught up with the story

Amazing

Loved that it kept me wanting for more. I truly hope you continue this saga. Awesome Narration and Writing

The dead collection

Good book writer is very good with details, Jack daydreams, and weird places got a little weird, but other than that I really enjoyed the book 

I have suffered long enough

The writing is sub par at best. I have read and listened to countless zombie genre books and it’s quite apparent this guy is attempting to do something he aught not to. The development of the characters, the length of time spent on such minuscule details, the way people respond to the dead and so on are very poorly written.

As for Neil Hellegers narrating I listened to the whole first book and started the second and can no longer handle him reading one sentence at a time with a 2 second pause between each.

No common sense 

The book started out decent enough. But the farther I got into it I begin to recognize the authors left, leaning ideology. How can you walk across the United States and only have two guns they should be every where and then you’re going to take on an army at this so-called Eden with your two guns, what were you going to do sit down on the road and glue your hands to the street in and Out of Eden. I finally shut this story off halfway through. I don’t believe this group could survive three days in a fully stocked Walmart.

Possibly the worst

You will have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy zombies rising from the dead. However, you would have to lose your mind to believe that a far left Chicago liberal who can’t benchpress 95 pounds, doesn’t know the first thing about firearms, hates police officers, and the military becomes the savior of the world.

This story has one of the most unlikable protagonists of any audiobook I have ever listened to. He is utterly incompetent and has to be repeatedly saved by other people. Including the law enforcement and military members he hates.

If you are interested in listening to the story of how Jack takes his soy infused body to the gym to try to recover the last remaining bits of his testosterone only to find out that his workout is interrupted by a zombie apocalypse, then to go save the world through no fault of his own please have a listen.
