World Departed

The Cascadia Series, Book 1

By: Sarah Lyons Fleming

Narrated by: Roger Wayne, Teri Schnaubelt, Christian Barillas, Mia Gaskin

In the zombie apocalypse, your worst enemy may be yourself.

Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

Tom Jensen has inflexible rules. Rule number one? Don’t deviate from the plan. But when his life is overturned in the space of minutes, his plans die along with everything else. The world is finished, the future is uncertain, and survival means living in the last place he’d planned to be. Maybe his rules weren’t meant to be broken, but if he can’t change his tune, he risks losing the one thing he has left - his daughter.

Craig Matthews has a mission: get to Oregon. Doable, maybe, if he could bring himself to leave his apartment. With his food and water near gone and death closer than ever, a chance encounter may lead to finding his friends - if he can first find his courage.

Unfortunately, the new world doesn’t always mean leaving old problems behind, and as the West Coast succumbs to the virus, the survivors face more than the undead - they face themselves. But in an existence where fences offer dubious safety and zombies certain danger, people may save you in more ways than one.

Loved it! Another Great Character-Driven Series

I'm a big fan of apocalyptic stories and Sarah Lyons Fleming is probably my favorite author. Unlike many books where everyone except the main characters turn into looters, murders and rapists within hours after the lights go out, Sarah creates believable characters that, while flawed with the normal human failings, you would want to spend the apocalypse with. The performance cast is great, keeping characters consistent from narrator to narrator. (But do work on that Texas accent!) I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Yes!

Best new Zombie series in ages. Can’t wait for the next one to be released!

excellant listen

I cant wait for the next book! Ms Flemings is a brilliant storyteller and writer.

I was disappointed when book 2 didn't pop up for me to continue 😪.

Wow

Could not stop listening!!

Love this world that the author created. I can’t wait for the next book. The narrators were correctly chosen.

Amazing and wonderfullll!!!

I could not stop listening! I actually lost sleep on my first night....I usually listen to a book on tape before I go to bed to help sleep....this was the opposite...! It scared me and made me hold on to every chapter almost holding my breath for Hope.....and with Rosey & family there always seem to be plenty,,,, :)

Loved the book series

Really enjoyed

I’m not one for zombie’s, apocalypse’s, sci-fi ect, but I absolutely loved this book. It held my attention all the way through. My one and only complaint is the length. 25 hours is a lot of listening time, but on the other hand, you definitely get your money’s worth. Narrator’s we’re exceptional as well!!
