Chihuahuas of the Zombie Apocalypse

By: Steven L. Hawk

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Length: 8 hrs

Publisher's summary

The end of the world looks a whole lot different when you’re eight inches tall.

Cheech and Daisy are small, spoiled and cute. Unfortunately, spoiled and cute are overrated when a pack of flesh-eating creepers are closing in fast and chasing you through the streets. Being small? Well, that might help.

A pair of seasoned Army Rangers, a teenaged Latina, a deranged serial killer, and two lost Chihuahuas come together to match wits and battle a city full of the undead.

Oh, and be forewarned: This ain’t no cutesy Beverly Hills Chihuahua-type story. It’s a straight forward, blood and guts, in-your-face post-apocalyptic zombie tale.

Fans of Steven L. Hawk's Peace Warrior Trilogy will recognize the military action and fast-paced style that made those books so well-received. In this book, a pair of highly trained Army Rangers are joined by a new type of hero: four-pound Chihuahuas.

Good story about the zombie apocalypse

I enjoyed the story, but the aspect with the dogs gave it a little bit of a twist versus other zombie apocalypse books Ive listened to. I prefer a human reading the story. This was the first book. I’ve listened to with an AI narrator, and there were times you could definitely tell it was a robot and not an actual human reading based on the cadence of their sentences or the way, they said certain words thathave two ways to pronounce them depending on the usage in the sentence. However, the overall story I very much enjoyed.

Chihuahuas and zombies a winning combo!!!

Love the story, I wish there was more lol The robot narrator was something else lol

Loved learning about the apocalypse through the dog’s eyes

This was a surprisingly good book. Fun, heartfelt and adventurous. It made me root for the small docs and the small dogs mini owners / guardians.
It reminded me a  bit of the book black beauty. Try this book it’s worth your time

Great book!

I wasn’t sure what to think at first but I was drawn in on chapter 1. I loved the idea of the dogs point of view and them being as much a character as the people. Fun and yet creepy. Thanks!

Happy ending.

The dogs were my favorite. I also like how the story ended. Not everything has to end sad.

AI narration was terrible. Everything else was great.

Great story, terrible AI narration. Pay to have a real
Person, it’s worth it. Thanks

Like a live voice better

Loved the story. Didn’t care for the virtual voice. It lacks the “human” expressions greatly. I will stay away from the audiobooks that have this. Other than that, great story.

Well written and imaginative

I’ll be honest, what first drew me to this book was the fact that I grew up in Boise, Idaho, where the story takes place. I did get a serious kick out of hearing names of streets that I traveled on often and places I knew. however, I couldn’t stop listening because quite simply it is a good book. Posted it on my Facebook and already have a family member downloading it so hopefully more people do too.

Fun, unique story

I really enjoyed "Chihuahuas of the Zombie Apocalypse" -- the author is new to me, but I will seek out more of his books. I loved how skillfully he wrote from the dogs' perspectives. I could definitely see this as an animated TV series or videogame.

I listened to the 'virtual voice' audiobook version of "Chihuahuas of the Zombie Apocalypse." I have listened to vv in some nonfiction works and it is just fine for that. The voice is very human but the read is flat and matter-of-fact, so--it's not quite there yet for fiction. But it gets the job done.

Amazed!

This book had all the hallmarks of a book I would hate - zombies, manly men, a virtual voice narrator… I listened to the sample because of the chihuahuas and I was curious to hear the virtual voice. It intrigued me and I decided to try the whole book. To my surprise I found it very enjoyable. The way the story pov jumped from character to character (including the chihuahuas) and while there were some mispronunciations and lack of inflections on the whole the virtual voice was no worse and in fact better than some human narrators I’ve come across!
Take a chance; you’ll be glad you did!
