The Apocalypse Crusade Day 4

War of the Undead

By: Peter Meredith

Narrated by: Erik Johnson

As if a zombie apocalypse wasn't bad enough, the country is also in the throes of a second Civil War. Massachusetts has closed its borders to everyone, including the 101st Airborne Division and five million desperate refugees. It's an act of rebellion that the President won't stand for, and with nuclear missiles flying by the hundreds in China, he mulls the idea of using nukes on American soil for the first time.

And his nuclear sites aren't just centered on Massachusetts, either. Anna Holloway and Lieutenant Eng are loose in Baltimore with vials of infected blood, the city of Philadelphia is crumbling under a terrific storm of undead, and half of Pennsylvania has fallen. Although the call to arms has been answered by thousands of men and women, it won't be enough.

The fate of the country rests on a stout few: FBI Agent Katherine Pennock who has to hunt down Anna and Eng before they create more zombies; Sergeant Troy Ross of the 101st who finds himself the linchpin in an epic battle involving millions; and Doctor Thuy Lee who holds the key to a cure somewhere in her brilliant mind. Unfortunately she is still trapped in the Zone with legions of undead and if there is any hope of finding the cure, she first has to live through day four of the apocalypse.

‘Day 4’ of the apocalypse is really good and saves the series! Don’t give up after the ending of day three!

To those who have listened to or read the first three days of the apocalypse, you may have been furious and disgusted if it’s extremely week attempt of an ending. The third day of the apocalypse was far beyond unfinished, and if I didn’t have an extra Audible credit laying around, I wouldn’t have listened to the fourth day; I’m sure glad I did! If you’ve experienced the first three days and enjoyed them, as I have, you may have been frustrated, clenching your fists, and using a lot of four letter words. There are countless story lines incomplete plot development and characters in need of what this book delivers!

Day four completes many of the story lines of the first three days and finishes with the only ending appropriate to this series. T ‘Hitchcock Ending” of this book, which, in my opinion, is the only rational way to wrap things up. The deepening plot and character development of the fourth day of the apocalypse saves the whole series from a painful and torturous death and a waste of everyone’s time. The narrator is amazing in his delivery of the narrative, even though he doesn’t have a completely different voice for every character. The simultaneous story lives make this a minor detail worth no consideration. This series could have been dull without the amazing narration by the same person throughout all of the books. Some of the previous days were more interesting and captivating than day four... but maybe that’s because I’ve come to accept that smart child zombies creating traps and adult zombies, who only keep a slim part of their humanity by downing huge amount of opiates and Valium, are just as normal as someone mowing their grass when it’a too tall. Meredith’s idea of zombies is completely different than any other tale or story of zombies I’ve ever seen, and it works like a charm.

The highlights: BUY THIS BOOK if you like the first three days of the apocalypse. You will not be disappointed in the least!

really good!

I loved this series. if you're into zombie books this is a must!! very compelling and entertaining.

Great as always!

Great installment as always! I just Can’t wait till the next book in this series!!!

good series

I really like this series I like how it starts off with how the zombie apocalypse is created and he got very invested in the characters some parts are slow but that's because it's telling you details that you will realize later on in the book are important thanks for the good read I'll be sure to get the next one when and if it comes out

Another winner!

I love this series... I have finished this one and now I'm distraught thinking that I have to wait for the next one. So I'm going to start it all over again until the release of 5.

I really enjoy how each book is only a day. I seem to forget that while listening to them. There is action, romance, drama, horror and I found even some comedy. It's very well rounded.

For me the narrator is a very big part of what I chose to listen to. He does an excellent job of depicting every character.

Overall the entire collection is well done.

love the day by day premise

Fantastic series for the zombie fan. I wonder how long it will go. Can't wait for day 5 or maybe day 500!

another great adventure

this series is a fast read full of Adventure and keeps getting better. loved it!

Solid cast

The story plays out like a great zombie movie. I love how each character is in detail. Their character, attitude and cold hearted disdain of some, is visualized as I listen.
