About this listen
The world is dead, devoured by a plague of reanimated corpses. Cahz and his squad of veteran soldiers are tasked with flying into abandoned cities and retrieving zombies for scientific study. Deep in infected territory, hundreds of miles from their support vessel, the ever present dangers weigh heavily on Cahz's mind as he shepherds his team to make quick, clean extractions.
Then the unbelievable happens. After years of encountering nothing but the undead, the team discovers a handful of disheveled survivors in a fortified warehouse with dwindling supplies. Surrounded by hordes of ravenous corpses, Cahz is faced with the terrible responsibility of determining the five passengers who will escape in the helicopter. While those left stranded must continue to fight off the infected and starvation long enough to be rescued.

Critic reviews
Personally, I would recommend against it. The basic mechanism is a fundamentally flawed one - there is a sheer lack of 'presence' of the zombies themselves in books as compared with films. Zombies are perfect for film, lacking any interior life but being horrific in appearance. All of the things that make zombies compelling on film makes them unsuitable for literature.
This particular book is a middling level entry for the genre. If you do enjoy zombie novels than you will probably enjoy it.
Okay as an example of the genre

The descriptions, characterisation and suspense are first class.
It works as a stand alone novel, but I recommend to get book one first for the whole story.
I usually get the first book of a series free then rarely use my credits unless that book is exceptional. I am on the 3rd book, good use of credits!
Cant wait to read book 3
What a story!

A lovely page compared to a lot of novels of this type, leaning more into the people & their lives.
Storytelling at its finest
