By: R. R. Haywood

Narrated by: Joe Jameson

Length: 15 hrs

Publisher's Summary

A Message from The Author

Writing The Undead is a humbling experience. I am eternally grateful to the readers and listeners for the incredible support you always show.

Dan Morgan superbly narrated Parts 1 to 10, but unfortunately he was not able to continue. To my delight, the wonderfully talented Joe Jameson has now taken the series on. His range and skills are superb.

I am aware of the feedback about the voice of one of my characters, Dave. If this change has upset your listening experience then I can only apologise, but both Joe and I, and everyone at Audible, have listened to the points you made and take them very seriously. It is a wonderful thing to have such responsive fans, so willing to listen and work to make it better, plus the interactive nature of the series means you the listener can speak out and say what you like and don't like, otherwise how would we know?

We've got some cracking days ahead of us. Some real stonking rip-roaring storylines to come and both Joe and I can only hope you'll stay with us on this journey.

Take care,

RR Haywood.

Howie and Marcy fight their way back into the fort to rescue Lani, only to find her on a killing spree. Her body made weak by the incessant and relentless purge of the Undead, and believing Howie has betrayed her with Marcy, she now seeks to destroy him and all he loves.

With tensions running high, Maddox and his crews watch on while Howie tries to reason with the woman he thought he loved. She leads him to the armoury, where they are together and alone. She holds a grenade in her hand, ready to detonate.

The new voice

I do not like the new reader at all and came really close to stop listening to the series.

not my favorite

the story took a very dark turn and it just didn't feel right. the characters seemed completely different, not the ones we've come to know and love.

A bit darker than usual

Lots of twists and a bit more dark than I am use to. Narration was superb with the exception of Dave's voice. I almost stopped listening at the end as it was getting a bit too depressing. It recovered a little at the end. I am going to listen to one more novel before giving up on the series. Life is depressing enough as it is. Zombie novels are not suppose to be that depressing.

Best Zombie series yet!

What did you love best about The Undead, Part 12?

How the author was so descriptive, he made it feel like you were right there with the characters.

What did you like best about this story?

The fact it was about a zombie apocalypse.

What does Joe Jameson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings life to the story by changing his voice to each character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was!

I love Howie, Dave and the gang

Any additional comments?

Best series ever. I am in love with the characters. They seem so real to me. Haywood is an excellent story teller and keeps my attention from the first sentence to the last. Great narration too.

Another outstanding installment!

Riveting from beginning to end. The series just gets better and better. Every time you think you have this story figured out, there is a curve ball to keep you guessing. The characters are strong and well written. A wonderful romp through post apocalypse England that will have you cheering.

eh, just ok

the story is getting old. lots of the same type of action as previous books. wonder if it will ever end? or does the author like milking his fans for more money to buy more books? And the little kid with gregory is absolutely ridiculous. he's so damn annoying and needs to be omitted from this story, he sucks.

Getting used to the new narator.

I'm upping Joe Jameson up to 4 stars.
if you liked the previous books you'll probably like this one.

Action action

Every word and sentence packed with emotion, movement. Can't wait for next part. Not want story to end.

Narrator is getting better

I'm don't know whether I'm anxious to get this series done because it's kind of dragging out or anxious because I'll loose my friends. The detail is great on some levels and I need to fast forward on others. Don't want to give out spoilers, but this book (day) was tough. Didn't like where it went or ended, at all. I'm intrigued by the aspect of finding out more about the origins of the virus. Except, for the annoying little boy, Joe does pretty well on the new characters. I am enjoying the English pronunciation of words like vitamins. The voice of Dave still bothers me.

Awesome

I took me a while to get used to the new narrator but omg Mr Jameson you are fantastic and Mr Haywood what can I say, you sir are my hero

Excellent addition

Would you listen to The Undead, Part 12 again? Why?

I would listen to them all again, so yes. The whole shift in Lanis personality was very well written and narrated.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Again any scene with Meredith and Howie, but especially the bit where she and Howie face Lani

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

When Howie finally drops at the munitions centre. The loyalty of the team. I can understand how they just want to protect him from harm. As always the interaction between Blowers and Cookie

honestly

I really enjoyed upto book 14 but to be honest I struggled with this one and book 15.
looking like the start of a downward spiral if last 2 books are anything to go buy coming from a avid fan bit disappointed.
the story just seams to be going all over the place howie loosing it in day 15 then ohh he can see in future and speak to momo in dream form and what is with the kid (freak) with gregori and why would a killer all of A sudden put up with a kid.
day 15 "he is coming" day 16 not mentioned at all.
ohh and clarance is OK killing kids now when he was adamant that he was a soldier in a past book and wouldn't ever do it the story is getting repetitive n off.

Excellent

Very fast paced, as usual for Mr Haywoods books. Best Zombie series to read. Highly addictive, recommend starting with the first book.
This is one series that needs listening to.

awesome series

I love these books, nail biting, edge of my seat kind of way. Bring on the next one.

New narrator is great

Love this series and once I got through the change of narrator It just gets better and better.

I first read extracted and this led to me wanting to read more of me haywoods books.

The ability to capture human nature at its best and worst and then tell it so well is captivating.

Keep it up. Just hurry as I’m slowly getting to the end of all previously written books.

Lazy and badly thought out.

The writing is getting lazy and derivative. Pity as it had such good potential.
Some good moments but mainly self indulgent writing.

Love this series!

I really enjoy thus series , please don't let it end ;P
took a bit of getting used to, but I really like the new narrator too.

This is a must series

The turns and spikes of this book is amazing. Never expected and has dragged me in so much, I hate when I feel it's going wrong for the characters.

Getting there!

New narrator seems to be getting a bit more comfortable in the role, still not 100% with Dave but reading through blogs by RR Haywood this should change soon for the better.
As noted below, the story seems a bit confusing and the final fort scene is a bit weird.
Characters seem to be going a bit weird as well but I'm hoping for an end game with this, story is getting notably darker which is awesome. Characters are probably reflecting on this, just a bit too quick too soon perhaps.
onto the next!
