Ship of the Dead

Omega Days, Book 2

De: John L. Campbell

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

In the weeks following the Omega Virus outbreak, survivors form desperate clusters, uniting to defend against hordes of the walking dead. But they can only hide for so long…

Father Xavier Church never wanted to be a leader. Nonetheless, he’s grown attached to his fellow survivors, and he won’t let anyone cause them harm - though he may be the one who inadvertently leads them to destruction.… Ex-con Bill Carnes may crave freedom, but he still prefers sticking with the group rather than fleeing to Mexico with his former cellmate TC. Maybe he’s changing. Or maybe the look in TC’s eyes is more dangerous than the undead.… EMT Rosa Escobedo gave up on hope after she watched the man she loved rise from the dead. But when a patient seems to start getting better, she can’t help but hope for a cure, even if it means risking her life.… As the numbers of the dead swell, the living are running out of safe havens - especially when the biggest threats lie within their own ranks.

Great!

I couldn't stop listening, I was totally hooked. I definitely recommend the Omega Days series!

Not a Complete Audible Series!!!

nothing like buying 3 or 4 books in a series to find audible does not have the final book and no plans to get it. FML

Ship of the Dead isn't the ship on the cover

The ship on the cover is a tanker or container ship. That's not the ship this book is talking about. The paperback version at Amazon has a battleship on its cover. But that's the wrong ship too. So I won't reveal which ship it is since the publisher seems to have gone to great lengths to hide the fact. But its a very good choice of ship!

So anyways, yeah, I felt the first book was too broken up by the many different groups and their stories so here they finally meet up. But of course they are now on a ship and of course they should all split up so the same thing happens here, tons of mini adventures and people you barely knew die. I have to say though, just before they died I got to know them, so was a bit upset when they seemed to die unnecessarily. I mean really? Go into the labyrinth corridors of a ship and split up to hunt zombies? Face palm. At one point they do just stand at a door way and call the zombies to them, but really, why didn't they do that from the start?!

But the plot is thicker here, I got time to like the characters and hate the treacherous ones. The book feels more complete, especially, since it was all wrapped up nicely, thanks for doing that Campbell. And thanks for saving my favorite characters, I thought they were goners! I'll buy your next book.

I wasn't 100% on board at first

The writing was dialed up to 10 then radioactive acid pumped into its veins. Excellent writing

Wow - Campbell does it AGAIN!

Easy to say.. these books are an absolute thrill to read! Campbell is now my favorite author.
