DEAD: Siege & Survival

By: TW Brown

Narrated by: Andrew McFerrin

The first winter has come, and with it, new problems. No longer are the zombies the biggest threat to survival. With the global infrastructure gone, people are forced to do whatever it takes to survive...even the unthinkable. Steve faces his toughest decision yet as he tries to lead his people through one nightmare after another. Kevin risks everything to save one girl and finds himself in the middle of a military fight for power.

Juan fights his way home, but soon finds himself leaving the island...at the worst time possible. Two women set out for London...but one has a secret that she is keeping under wraps. One man seeks to be a god as a new exodus occurs in Egypt. A soldier abandons his post, but can he escape his duty? The darkest days have come now that winter has most of the world in its clutches.

I greatly enjoy this author and this series

First thoughts about the cover of Dead Siege & Survival by TW Brown? Zombies children! The zombie children are creepy and very eerie. I absolutely love the feel and flavor of both innocence and horror they portray. The shot up vehicles in the background and the random shambling zombies give the over all flow an even creepier vibe.

There seems to be a few main characters in this story. They alternate every third chapter. My favorite is Vix Kirkpatrick in this story. I love that she’s sassy and not afraid to say what she’s thinking. It’s also a plus that this ‘character’ has read lots of zombie stories so she is ahead of the game on staying alive.

I greatly enjoy this author and this series. This books would be a little hard to get into the storyline if you picked this book up without reading the other four first though. Not that it couldn’t stand alone, it could. But there is so much back story already filled in with the first four that the reader would loose if he/she didn’t read the others before this one. An example being Steve’s story and how he became the leader of his group. Or Kevin and how he came to be out on a run for medications during the winter when his camp/group was overtaken by Wanda Bears.

The Narrator is Andrew McFerrin. This is one of my favorite narrators. I absolutely love the way he reads a story. His accents for different characters definitely have their own accents and they do not blend together. That’s always a plus when you’re getting into a story. This book is Dead: Siege & Survival from the Dead Series, Book 5 by TW Brown. The length of this story is twelve hours and fifty minutes.

Warning – This story does have some gory and bloody scenes. Would not recommend for anyone under the age of sixteen.

This story left me wondering about the lengths people will go for family and friends. How much loyalty can be bought or be taken by brute force? Is that actual loyalty, or is it greed and fear? At what point do people stop caring about what they can get from a situation, about the consequences from their actions, if they stop being ‘loyal’ to those that bought their loyalty by hook or crook?

Keep bringing on the DEAD!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is another great continuation of the zombie apocalypse story. The narrator continues to be FANTASTIC! Seriously, Andrew McFerrin really is a great narrator. We continue to follow several groups from the previous books. Like with the walking dead series, you get some new characters in this one. To me, this helps keep things interesting. Another great installment in the series.

What??

What?? The ending was not my favorite. Why? You'll have to read it to understand. That being said, suffice to say, I am glad there is another book that has already been written so that I don't have to wait to find out what happened. Cliff hangers are not my favorite way to end a book. This author is so dang good, I tend to read all day long (actually, I have the audio version, so my ear phones are in my ears all day) and, when I have to stop, I cannot stop thinking about it. There are very few authors that effect me that way. It breaks my heart when people I have come to like in the story hurt...or die. Life sucks like that. Andrew McFerrin is an excellent narrator. His character voices are right on from book to book and character to character. I am able to keep them apart by their voices and the timber of his voice is such that I don't tire of hearing him narrate.
I'm ready for the next book!!

Not my fave, but enjoyed it.

I don't care for the Egyptian story line at all- just doesn't interest me. So far, the British characters are not my cup o tea either...

best one so far...

when i purchased this read it was either make or break for me. the previous 2 books were kind of a drag and i dont like most of the vinnettes. this book made up for them. .
