About this listen

Like a brick at a birthday cake.

Shoreham Port in Brighton, England, has been secured by Adrian Ring alongside his friends, with the five navy ships that made the trans-Atlantic voyage to find the European Trinity. He must find the Soul, the Scribe, and the Warden and get them on their path, as he walk his, but there are obstacles.

The undead in Europe are faster and stronger than anything they’ve encountered, and the survivors here are hungry, and desperate for help. They can’t fight every zombie, but each one they pass could be a lethal threat to their own people, or to the locals who’ve fought hard to survive.

Luckily, he encounters a small, well-armed group of car-equipped survivors, led by a friendly man calling himself Chief, who dwarfs even the burly Adrian. They decide to work together to procure ground vehicles for the march north.
But Chief isn’t the savior he’s pretending to be, and there are far more monsters roaming in the dark of the old world than Adrian is prepared to face.

Dead Cities contains Adrian’s journal entries from September 9th, 2014 through November 27th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions The Ghost in the Boiler Room, Rachel and Mara, Fetters, Sanctuary, and Ernest Goes for a Walk.

Think we have gone abit too far fetched , plus I think in my humble opinion, resources in this scenario would be easier to find , the onset of the zombie virus would have been so fast, that all the goods in transit, warehouses ect would still be intact

Changing narrators is very annoying , not saying he didn’t do the job but still you get used to the character being the voice

the story continues to evolve. it's a shame about the English accents - everyone sounds either Victorian or like complete morons. otherwise it's great.

Great continuation of the story

Took a little getting used to the new narrator, but soon settled in to it! I did find that the voice put on for Abby made her sound like a" ditzy blonde" stereotype, instead of the tough, strong woman she is!
But yet again, fabulous writing, cannot wait for the next instalment!

Brilliant!

Love this series but no doubt a long wait until next book. Find it strange having a different narrator for this book.

I love the series so far, and I've been able to overlook both narrators mispronouncing certain words, such as cyclic (that one really grated me through the earlier series) and impotence, but this book had one glaring error i just couldn't let go of.

SPOILER ALERT:
In America, most fire departments have their own ambulances and they are trained as paramedics. in the UK, they are completely separate organisations. Fire fighters do not keep ambulances at their stations and do not drive around in ambulances pretending to be paramedics. This kind of unravels the whole plot of the fire station and the fire fighters back story.

Also, Croydon isn't a city. It's a suburb of greater London, what we call a Borough.

The new narrator did a good job taking over, but Abbey sounds awful now, and the British accents are atrocious. Also the new guy has certain inflections that make me want to punch him, but that's just personal preference :)

Few big holes

Great continuation of the story, with new and interesting supernatural twists that add a different, darker edge to Adrian's apocalypse.

DJ does a good job of the narration and in the tricky situation of picking up part way through a series that's had an established narrator for so long.

I feel like it's a moral duty though to mention that the narrator change was beyond the author's control, as Foster chose to exit the series through no fault of Chris. So those I've seen on US audible getting their knickers in a twist and crying foul and giving 1 harsh star based on a narrator change without bothering to get any context as to why that change happened, maybe actually check Chris' social media pages and you'd have seen Foster left the series months ago, which is why the audio was such a gap after print and ebook release. He's been pretty open about it. This wasn't Chris just deciding to change on a whim. He can't magically say "Hey James, no you can't leave because some entitled people will cry foul without bothering to find out why and just throw 1star at the book because they're having a sulk."
Some people. That's just low.

I mean... the narrator's name was on the book... you could have pressed the sample button first to decide whether it was for you or not.

Great continuation.

this series was struggling along as felt new characters were just not likable and throw away.
The change in narrator really took me out of the story and didn't really convey any emotion and made it very dull. oh the accents were horrific!!

new narrator, ruined.

really enjoyed this book! not sure about the narrator but probably because he's new. it didn't detract from the action and the characters old and new.

loved it!

lots of poop and cock references- made me smile. loved the narration. Some English voices are spot on, still struggled to listen to the more "cockney" voices. but good job in all. Great storyline- bring on 13
