Undead Chaos

By: Joshua Roots

Narrated by: William Dufris

The job was simple: decapitate the zombie, get paid, get out. Warlock Marcus Shifter followed the plan perfectly. The corpse, however, did not. Now there's a body on the loose, accusations of illegal necromancy are flying, and the answers are waiting in the perilous alleys between the mortal and paranormal worlds. They're no place for someone who mostly gave up magic after a childhood accident. And given his tendency to shoot off his mouth and his Glock, Marcus is having a hell of a time digging up more than just bodies.

When an apocalypse-minded megalomaniac threatens Marcus's family, things get personal. Marcus will have to embrace the magic he's been avoiding for years - and even that might not be enough to save the world from a hellish demise.

Undead chaos

what a funny Charming book it is definitely worth a read dive in and have a grand old time

Dresden Lite

If you enjoyed the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher you might enjoy this book too. It has its flaws; I didn’t much care for the badguy and I found myself cursing Marcus’s stupidity at the end, but all in all it was thoroughly enjoyable listen with an excellent narrator (apart from some horrible sound effects in the end.) I look forward to more from this author and will make sure look him up on Goodreads.

Surprisingly enjoyable

What other book might you compare Undead Chaos to and why?

I must say that when the story opened, I thought I was going to be reading a take off of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series. I really worried about it for a couple of chapters and then the characters and the action took on a life of their own. This book does stand on its own merits and provided enjoyment and an interesting plot.

Good story

This is a good book. I enjoyed this meeting of a magical world meeting the normal world. The setting of these two worlds trying to integrate after centuries of hate, mistrust and persecution is good. The story flows together well. William Dufris does an excellent job reading this book. He made the characters come alive. His voice fit my idea of what the main supporting characters would sound like. It is also obvious that he is enjoying himself. It comes through in the book. I enjoyed what happened to the zombie met in the first chapter. There are a few confusing things I hope get cleared up in future books. The main character uses gold to pay for things, story is set in USA, Virginia and DC are. It also is not clear at what age Marcus has his traumatic event that caused him to give up magic. I hope this gets clarified in future too.

its ok.

the story is alright, the narrator sounds like he has a headcold, but its ok.
