The Dealer of Hope: Adrian's March, Part One

Adrian's Undead Diary, Book 9

De: Chris Philbrook

Narrado por: James Anderson Foster

Adrian forgave himself. The undead have been banished and he's accepted the love of friends, family, and some strangers. He's started a better life.

Bastion grows day after day as pilgrims come to put down roots near the vaunted Trinity. Crops are growing, babies are being born, supplies are being salvaged, restful dreams are being had, and there's even talk that the government is surfacing to reform.

All his problems should be getting better now, right?

But some battles start after the last shot is fired.

They call themselves The Northern Valley Cooperative.

Adrian's known about them for years. Always on his fringe, never in his face, they built a fortress out of a ski resort, and brought everyone near them to heel. And now, with winter bearing down on Adrian's world, the NVC is marching south.

Are they friends, or are they foes?

Either way, Adrian's got a loaded gun on his hip, and he's surrounded by people he'd die for.

He just might.

The Dealer of Hope contains Adrian's journal entries from September 21, 2013 through November 30, 2013. It also contains the side fictions "Desperation", "Junkyard Dogs", "Strange Bedfellows", "No One's Home", "A City Laid Asunder", and "One Last Hurrah".

“Mr. Philbrook has come back with a fresh voice and story, without abandoning everything his fans loved about the series. It’s like a homecoming where all the warm feelings of familiarity drain out in dread as the front door opens.... Welcome home.” (Jeffrey Clare, author, All Things Zombie)

Back for more

Like I said in my review of the book, it's awesome to see Adrian and the gang back and to see what they've been up to since Adrian saved the world. Adding the returning voice talents of James Foster and it's like going back home again to visit old friends.

so glad the gangs all back!

This book, like the others is absolutely spectacular! Otis is my home boy. It was absolutely wonderful to walk into a familiar cast, with a new story. Chris brought his A game again with Adrien.

Shrinkflation!

Content and performance are great, just like the first series. However, I am distressed that the size of the novels appears to be shrinking, just like the size of tuna cans at the grocery store. I only get 2-3 days of listening a couple of hours a day before I have to wait a month for another credit. They appear to have split 1 book into 2 just to make extra bucks. Bogus.

Chris Philbrook does it again

Amazing books I am hooked I’m doing a book a day can’t say enough absolutely amazing please if you haven’t read his books

Best book I've ever heard can't wait for next b

I love this series. I have binge listened to every book at work and at home.
