Publisher's summary

Two brothers learn of the apocalypse after being out of touch for a few days. Returning to town, they learn first-hand, the dead are coming back to life with a taste for flesh. With their parents in Nebraska they must embark on a journey to rescue them as they set into motion their zombie apocalypse plan.

But nowhere is safe anymore....

Unfeasible under the widest of margins.

Holes, holes and more holes. I couldn't like it, nor could I complete it. The main characters had no substance. They didn't behave like anyone from a small town I've ever known. They claimed to have plans. The author details what they shoot and what they wear. (Knowing a gun is something everyone would expect but clothes??? If it's comfortable, if it's camo.. It's fine.) Church members check on each other. You care about your neighbors, your kin, the kids you grew up with, old girlfriends, best friends.
Giving these characters some real emotions would have added to the story. Being separated from their parents? Where was the depth of a child's love for their parents??? Don't get me started on the lack of supplies and planning they took in leaving their town...
They literally cared more about what they wore than people, their parents or actual supplies.
WTF?
And yes, my husband, a retired veteran felt offended by the same things.

A little sappy

This seemed like a teen book. Not bad but a underdeveloped. Good for a zombie fix.

What a RIDE!?!?

We so enjoyed listening to Outbreak! LOVED reading the book myself, but my oh my .... listening to Graham read the story made it so fun to be a part of.
GREAT NARRATION OF A GREAT STORY!
Started Battleborn Book 2 RIGHT AWAY!

Good book

This is a pretty good book. It seems to be leading in the direction of a come back your faith kinda deal. But it's not too preachy. It may even be "this is the beginning of Revelations" They mention the first trial being a plague a couple of times. oh and the people are definitely worse than the zombies. So, it's a different take on zombie books.

Great so fa

The first thing to snag me was the narrator, Graham Halstead, I've heard him before with David Achords, Zombies Rules series and love it. Graham does an excellent job again with this story and although it starts a little bit slow, I am already hooked and getting book 2.

what a great book just wow

once you start listening you can't stop yourself for continuing for more, just a amazing

Expecting more

Moved slow and predictable. If you are new to the zombie genre you will really like it. Otherwise just so-so.

Lacks professional writing skills and poor story telling.

First, the conversations between the brothers are awkward and unnatural. Every other word is “brother”. Siblings don’t talk like this; it’s a weird dynamic.

Overly religious, I get that the author is a “Jesus freak,” but it’s a bit over the top in the story. Besides, if a god allows such atrocities does he deserve any attention while you struggle to survive? Where is the love in that?

The story is overly simplistic; it spends too much time on obscure details and not enough time building the story. Characters are subpar at best. At no point during this book did I feel a connection to any of the characters which is a sign of a lacking storyline.

The narrator is the only redeeming quality in this book. I was hopeful but left disappointed. The author has potential but needs to take some classes to develop a better writing style.

Great book

Good mix of everything ! Character ,suspense, and action. A really good listen if you like zombie apocalypse setting.

great story

I loved this book. I love the way it brings all the characters together ❤
