We're Alive: A Story of Survival - The First Season

By: Kc Wayland

Narrated by: Blackstone Audiobooks

Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins

Publisher's summary

This exciting audio drama is based on an immensely popular podcast that has received hundreds of positive reviews and has had over four million downloads - and counting.

For Army Reserve soldier Michael Cross, the world as he knows it ends in an instant. One minute he’s in college, and the next rioters are roaming the highway around him, breaking into cars and literally tearing people apart. This is the day the dead walk. This is the world of We’re Alive.

The first season features 12 chapters packing performances and sound effects that rival movies and prove that modern audio drama is undead and well. Join our survivors as they band together, struggle to fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that zombies are far from the worst thing in a post apocalyptic Los Angeles, where the rules of human decency no longer apply.

Little food. Little water. Little hope. Who is lucky enough to say "We're Alive"?

Critic reviews

“ We’re Alive is a modern rendition of an old-school medium. Maintaining a style that is both retro and contemporary, the radio drama will give horror fans the campy, kitschy style they like, but it also provides a variety of characters and development to keep general audiences engaged…Despite not being able to see the action, the excitement and intensity is still sustained through score and sound design. In some ways, the lack of visuals to accompany the audio creates more suspense. The narrator controls how much the audience knows, slowly teasing out information. Accompanying the drama are sparse moments of comedic relief…Expressing a keen awareness of the zombie subgenre, many of the jokes come from familiar scenarios and tropes of zombie stories.” (Examiner.com)

Excellent!

Loved it! Gripping and entertaining! Performance is fun and story is a thrill! Try it!

Amazing!

I’ve heard a lot of audio books, & been wishing for one just like this. It’s worth it.

Best zombie story I've heard in ages!

Great narration and action. I actually bought this half way through listening to the free online podcast because I couldn't handle the commercial break & credits rolling every 20 minutes! Def worth the purchase 👌

Awesome Story!

I’ve love this story for a long time, but had only enjoyed it as a podcast. I loved it so much I decided to go ahead and buy all the seasons on audible and I don’t regret the purchase one bit!

Awesome

This is one of the best series I have ever listened too. I was so excited to see part 4 out. Did not think twice to get part 4. I have become hooked on these type of books that use more than one person characters. Love it!!!!!

Top notch everything!

Front story, to action scenes, to the performance and actors themselves. Everything in this is amped up to the Max! Could not put it down. Going to marathon the entire series now! Earned a spot in my favorites on audible. A VERY short list ( 2 series out of over 300 books. Now 3)

Fun and free!

Very well done and sooooo much fun to hear!
Recommend!
Nothing to lose! Get it.

amazing! retro radio meets modern technology

this was the best audio experience I've had listening to audiobooks. I really felt like part of the action. I was heavily invested in the characters. I will definitely be looking into all of the content available from wayland.
