Panic-stricken and running for his life and trying to get back to his family, James and a handful of other survivors are forced to fight an enemy they cannot beat on grounds they do not know.

Chasers

I’m not a big zombie fan but this was a good series. I liked the story line but found some of it a little far fetched. Overall it kept me entertained with the narration and the characters fight/will to survive.

Great story but...

it's a book series I would definitely recommend. My only hang up was James himself. He was great in the first book but it's like he got dumber and weaker as the series went on. He had trouble climbing a ladder for fricks sake. I get he's 15 but common sense to not just stand around day dreaming or yelling would be great. It was a great story I just would have left him behind.

A wonderful series.

This audio book is both addictive and entertaining as hell. Derek Shupert, and B.C. Archer have made these characters feel alive.

A bit on the Mild Side - But LOVED it

Really got into this Story - and listened pretty much straight through while on a road trip. It really engaged me and now I want a Dog. Will need to look into that soon - great time to do it :) I definitely recommend this Audiobook.

Would make a great mini-series

Overall I did like this book however, this book would be easier to digest as a movie or mini-series. Almost couldn’t finish it at times was getting a little bit bored at times.I wouldn’t recommend reading it as a full box set because it was getting hard to listen too, but for TV it would make a great zombie apocalyptic film or mini -series.

good story other then main character

As others have stated the mc is very stupid he makes the same mistakes over and over then crys about it just to repeat later. I think we all forget this is a 15y old kid and not Rambo. The story was fun overall but with the beginning of the book it was looking like the mc would be a trained survivalist and not the immature kid he turned out to be, would have been better if he died saving his sister because that's just the more realistic outcome. yes I said realistic about a zombie book get over it.

Not just another zombie book.

This starts unlike other zombie outbreaks. The entire series is action packed. If you are looking for a new read, you found it here in this book.
The narrator really brought the characters to life. Highly recommend

Worth the credit

Great goon, believable characters and great plot. Wasn't a fan of the ending but good

I really liked the story

I have no idea how this kid survived. When he wasn't sounding like a whiny kid and doing rash things or NOT doing what needed to be done, he was full of bravado and saying how he had to handle things better then goes and does something rash again. The rest of the characters were great. I look forward to listening to more by Derek Shupert.

Wow

Great series highly recommend and b c archer was fantastic! Looking for more books now

grate listen

it was a good story but clearly rote it a different language and some of it doesn't translate well into English... witch makes it difficult for the notation......

Addictive

Couldn’t stop listening to it after the first chapter! Can’t wait for more content from mr Shupert

mediocre at best

I've never left a bad review before but this book deserves one.

The story had nothing going for it. It was the equivalent of a 13 year old writing an essay for school. The narration was even worse than the story line. Every adult male sounded like the same character over and over again. Basically this book has no redeeming qualities. Every single character is one dimensional (even the dog is irritating) and you really don't care if any of them survive

What a great series

I really really enjoyed listening to this audiobook and reading the book at the same time. I know it’s a clichè but it had me hooked from the first few pages. I wouldn’t say it’s a really fast paced book but it’s does have its moments and it never ever dulls. The bond between the main character James and his dog is great and glad of the outcome. I have nothing negative to say about this series, I listened to it in 2 sittings that’s how invested I was in the story.

If you like zombie apocalypse books I’d very highly recommend this, it’s got good character building, great scenes, terror enduring moments and an amazing story.

That’s all I can say and I’ll miss the main character and the dog !

Dear me

This review will be a lot shorter than what l have just listened too,if you like a challenge and love disappointment this is just for you!!

fantastic book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book it was good to start from finish well worth the credit and it was nice to have a zombie book with a dog in it because most dogs end up turning

hard to stop listening great books

it was a great set of books, i sertanly hope there is more to come.
