Publisher's summary

Now available in one discounted collection, the Jurassic Dead omnibus edition includes all three novels in the action-horror trilogy that New York Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry calls, "A wild collision of modern SF and old-school horror...over the top, inventive and scary fun!"

Jurassic Dead

An Antarctic research team hoping to study microbial organisms in an underground lake discovers something far more amazing: perfectly preserved dinosaur corpses. After one thaws and wakes ravenously hungry, it becomes apparent that, like life, death will find a way.

Environmental activist Alex Ramirez, son of the expedition's paleontologist, came to Antarctica to defend the organisms from extinction, but soon learns that it is the human race that needs protecting.

Jurassic Dead, Book 2: Z-volution

After the discovery of a dormant zombie virus in preserved Antarctic dinosaur specimens, billionaire visionary and megalomaniac William DeKirk proceeds with his plan to unleash a zombie-dinosaur army upon the world, starting with Washington D>C. The US military struggles to prevent the contagion's spread and to defend against the onslaught of prehistoric monstrosities as all-out war breaks out between the living and the dead.

However, DeKirk has even farther-reaching plans. Modifying the virus to allow for greater control, he intends to impart upon himself all the benefits of zombie-ism - near indestructibility, immortality, and immunity to attacks of other zombies, including the dinosaurs, which he can now direct at will. Nothing can stop him from eradicating civilization as we know it, except possibly returning heroes Alex Ramirez and Veronica Winters.

The unlikely pair must rescue the one scientist who may hold the key to arresting the zombie apocalypse, a CDC expert trapped in a besieged Atlanta office. Can they secure the antidote and turn the tide before the plague reaches its full potential, or will the planet return to the dominion of its long-extinct masters and a new tide of undead humanity?

Jurassic Dead, Book 3: Ctrl-Z

Three months after the fall of Washington D.C., the planet is a hellish battleground for an all-out war between prehistoric undead forces and the scattered remnants of the living. Billionaire William DeKirk, now ruling the last vestiges of civilization, is human no longer, but rather an unpredictable rogue driven by a noxious blend of primordial virus and modern day sociopath. He deliberately spreads the zombie plague across the world and deploys his dinosaur-human army to destroy survivors or coerce them into pledging allegiance to his undead flag.

But the resistance movement has its own plan to hit Ctrl-Z and undo the zombie apocalypse. In his darkest moment yet, Alex must confront the grim reality that the only way to defeat a monster is to become one himself.

Title says it all

Great new twist on this genre. Very creative with lots of action. A few twists but subtle. Pretty much know good guys and bad guys from start. 3books for one credit. Highly recommend for the zombie enthusiast seeking a new story line

Ending seemed rushed

Over a good box set, only thing really is ending seemed a little rushed in my opinion.

loved every bit of the story and couldn't stop lis

loved every bit of it, I didn't want to stop listening to the book

boring

it was okay at the beginning but it gat boring a repetitive an it contradict it self a lot of times

Sad to See Them Go

The ending is kinda sad and there's sad scenes throughout but it's great overall and Andrew does a great job with the characters voices especially Zanders and Dkirks.

YEAH!

What a delightful series! I thought at first it was suppose to be funny BUT it isn't. A person just needs to listen just a little while and it becomes clear what is happening. The narrator did a great job with characters! You will like this box set!

great story and narration

great take on the whole zombie apocalypse story. good story telling and progression. the action starts early on and stays strong throughout.

fun action packed

it's fast moving which isn't bad story id recommend this brings new concepts to the zombie genre and it's pretty fun I'm a simple person I love dinosaurs and I love zombies and I never thought about putting them together it sounds like some sorta B or C grade movie and might be if this ever transitions to live action

Well done

engaging story. story has the ability to make you really dislike the bad guy while still begging for more story so you can see what he's going to do next.

Zambi tropes abound!

It is exactly what you would expect storywise. Not many surprises from the standard tropes. I actually had a little trouble getting through the first book, but the performance and the characters kept me coming back for more. Its worth a credit and a fun zambi story even though it has all the cheezy and heartfelt tropes you would expect.
