Publisher's summary

The world would die laughing....

When a new disease turns people into sadistic, laughing killers, a light infantry battalion fights to maintain order in Boston. As infection spreads, the Army loses control, and the soldiers find themselves fighting the people they once swore to protect.

As the country slides into violent collapse, the lost battalion learns the last bastion of the federal government is still holding out in Florida. Harry Lee, its commander, decides the only hope is to lead the survivors there.

But first, they must cross more than a thousand miles of an apocalyptic America, hunted by a savage and merciless enemy.

Inspired by The Anabasis and written by a team of best-selling zombie authors—Craig DiLouie, Stephen Knight, and Joe McKinney—The Retreat: The Complete Series for the first time brings together all six volumes, chronicling a horrific vision of the apocalypse and a brutal depiction of courage in the face of impossible odds.

Volume includes the following works:

• The Retreat: Pandemic
• The Retreat: Slaughterhouse
• The Retreat: Die Laughing
• The Retreat: Alamo
• The Retreat: Crucible
• The Retreat: Forlorn Hope

Wow

Loved this series. Great character development, excellent story. R.C. Hits another home run narrating.

Awesome

Nail biter from beginning to end

What an amazing story, the story kept you on the sit of your pant the entire time. RC and the rest of the cast did an awesome storytelling job.

just awesome,

I'm so happy the whole series is out now, we were waiting and it was worth it, Muldoon!

Great Series

R.C. Bray is one of the best to listen to, his performance really adds to the intensity of the story.

The story itself was great and I really enjoyed how it wasn't afraid to kill off characters. Some characters deserved a better end, but life's not fair and I feel that's what they were going for.

I would only recommend getting this complete collection of all six books, as I feel the books individually are too short.

It was a wild and enjoyable ride that I'm glad I listened to.

Good story

Well written with lots of action. A new take on the zombie genre. Well worth the listen especially with R C Bray narrating.

Total Gem that I didn’t expect to find

It’s like 32 new and fresh hours of the Arisen series. And I mean that in the best way. It you liked or loved that series then you’ll love this one. The characters are unique and original though and the “ZA” has it’s own unique feel too. But the quality and pace is similar and RC Bray is still just the goat in my opinion. Enjoy

Good book but a bit repetitive in spots.

I chose this book because it was 32 hours of listening for one credit. I was searching through books R.C. Bray narrated and chose this one as it has also just come out a week before I downloaded it. Now to the book….R.C. Bray made this story come to life as he always does. The storyline is good and the plot is decent but it does get repetitive through spots. The take on the “bug” and how the infected act is a nice change compared to most “zombie” type books. The ending is what it should be. All in all yes it’s worth the listen.

Lost sleep due to this series!!

First - this series is NOT for you if you dislike exceptionally well described scenes of murder, mutilation, sadism, dismemberment, etc. There were a few parts involving women that I had to skip because they were so detailed I started to feel sick.

That said, I literally couldn’t stop listening to this series - and two nights wasn’t able to press pause until 3AM. The character development is incredible with a TON of twists and turns. And, of course, RC Bray knocks it out of the park.

So well done.

Worth the wait for #6!

Well told story, a few technical details and duplicate characters but still extremely entertaining. If you enjoy military zombie type genre this is for you.

Excellent!

Tremendous from start to finish. listened twice. R. C. Bray is a master. I highly recommend the series and am sad that it's over. Hope that there are more installments.
