Resumen del Editor

The world is dead

Two months ago, billions of people were killed by a deadly germ. Days later, they rose again in massive numbers. Since then, cities worldwide have become corpse-filled, rat-infested, germ-choked hellholes.

A group of people are trapped in central London, hopelessly outnumbered by the dead.

They hear rumors of a safe haven in the north—a self-sufficient community where people from across the country have gathered to try and rebuild their lives. But the decaying ruins of the capital are vast and sprawling, and they’re going to need an army to get away from this place.

There are other people here, waiting in the shadows to be found. Can enough of them band together to make a difference, or has the country—maybe even the entire world—already been lost to the dead?

This special edition contains all three novels in the series (Autumn: Dawn, Autumn: Inferno, and Autumn: Exodus) along with seven brand new short stories.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"David Moody's Autumn: Dawn breathes new life into my favorite undead series." (Craig Dilouie, author of Episode Thirteen)

“The best survival horror since Richard Matheson's I am Legend.” (Wayne Simmons, author of Flu)

Likeable, but lame.

Excellently narrated, good character development, I would recommend it.

The huge problem is the continuous, unbelievable stupidity. I know it is set in the UK and not the US, but guns would be available. There are armed police in London. Even with a dire need to remain silent, having an emergency firearm to create distance would have been handy in many situations presented in the book. It is like the author was dared to write a zombie novel without guns.

They also describe massive hoards crushing the leading zombies against blockades and barriers. It took me about two seconds to come up with a plan to make a large grid that the zombies would force themselves through like ricing potatoes. But 300+ people can only come up with a plan to move vehicles around and hit the zombies with baseball bats. Dumb.

What about tangle-foot? Secure a cable a foot off the ground and when the zombies trip on it, spear them in the head.

Use a bridge and a lure/noisemaker to funnel the hoards into the river.

This book is intentionally obtuse, and silly, but just good enough that it kept my attention. The satisfaction is diminished.

Finally, a zombie series with zombies that FELT LIKE ZOMBIES!

this has been a fantastic series. what a breath of fresh air! it's so good to read about zombies that are more akin to the original George Romero Zombies, where they are written as a force of nature, a tidal wave of the dead, rather than sprinting, well formed corpses! slow-crawling, unstoppable hordes of zombies really are the best for setting an oppressive mood and world. this series was so bleak, oppressive and believable! From the weather that was it's own problem to the to the characters, I loved it all. I will be telling all my friends about it.

Predictable

Story was decent but predictable ending. Was hoping for a different ending but was okay. Hater trilogy has better twist and turns. This book left me hoping for more story surprises. The book was a meh.
