Publisher's summary

In Canterbury, as the virus rages out of control, one troop of Royal Marine Commandos fights a 360-degree battle for survival while also racing to rescue the Channel Tunnel survivors from a relentless siege, all before Hellfire missile strikes and carpet bombing kill anyone left alive. Across the Atlantic the crew of the USS John F. Kennedy risks a catastrophic reactor meltdown to get out of the path of a 10-mile-wide tide of the dead while onshore, at the naval air base, Wesley's tiny team maintains a lonely vigil that turns horrifyingly dangerous as the edge of the storm hits, pushing desperate civilians ahead of it.

In the air above, Gunnery Sergeant Fick leads a handpicked fireteam of spec-ops marines halfway across North America to take and defend an airfield on a remote island but learns, to his cost, that it is a place with a terrible history and very dangerous secrets. Finally, out on Lake Michigan, Alpha team races toward extraction...but first must fight their most harrowing battle yet, this time against the living, who are both more treacherous and a hell of a lot better armed than the dead.

Who will be left standing at the end? Find out if your heart can take the strain in the biggest and most explosive Arisen book yet: Arisen, book four: Maximum Violence.

Great book just can't wait for the next one!

Arisen and The Remaining by far the best of this genre.

Good story line and always keep you on the edge of your seat. Narrator also does an amazing job.

Awesome ZA books

This books has more KTF and action. Great job on building characters that you want to hear more about them. RC Bray does it yet again and makes the story come to life! I look forward to the next book!

Dead men (and lady) walking

I enjoy all the military aspects of the undead world all the challenges and all of the camaraderie but I have to say the Murphy's Law affect gets ridiculous they can't do anything right it seems and I realize that things happen but that's just getting too far why don't you give them a break for once otherwise I highly recommend this and I have to friends and family

Maximum Awesomeness.

Any additional comments?

If you've never listened to any of the Arisen books you are seriously missing out on true greatness. They are well written with breathless action and nail biting suspense. Once you start listening you won't want to stop, you'll want to finish them in one sitting. They are that good!

The characters are extremely hard core soldiers. They are very compelling without seeming too over the top or coming off as corny (which happens in so many other books of this nature). The story is believable and intense without having elements of the supernatural. These books never get boring.

R. C. Bray is hands down the best audio book narrator in the business since the death of Frank Muller. He is on top of his game with all of the Arisen books. I thought about reading the other books in this series so I wouldn't have to wait on Audible to catch up, but it wouldn't be the same without Mr. Bray's voice. So, I guess I'll preorder part 5.

The Arisen books are the kind of books that make me jealous of people who've never listened to them because they get to hear them for the first time, whereas I can only ever relisten to them.

Maximum Awesomeness!

Would you consider the audio edition of Maximum Violence to be better than the print version?

The audio addition rocks! RC Bray is a narrating GOD

Who was your favorite character and why?

Martin. I like his Cheeky British humor. Hell I like all the characters!

What does R.C. Bray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings awesomeness! The best narrator hands down!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh YES!

Any additional comments?

I hope one day HBO, Cinemax, or Stars picks up this series!

Nonstop action

Loved it. Doing entire series. Starting new one tonight. Much more than zombie series which I don't typically read. Tightly scripted military action.
