The first book of Day by Day Armageddon took us deep into the mind of a military officer and survivor as he made a New Year's resolution to start keeping a journal. The man kept his resolution and brought to us the fall of humanity, day by day. We see the man transition from the life that you and I live to the prospect of fighting for his very survival against the overwhelming hordes of the dead. We see him bleed, we see him make mistakes, we witness him evolve.

You can't kill the dead! Like any good monster, the zombie has proven to be ever-evolving, monumentally mutable, and open to seemingly endless imaginative interpretations: the thralls of voodoo sorcerers, George Romero's living dead, societal symbols, dancing thrillers, viral victims, reanimated ramblers, video-gaming targets, post-apocalyptic permutations, shuffling sidekicks, literary mash-ups, the comedic, and, yes, even the romantic.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audio, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Loved this addition to the abridged version!
I listened to the Abridged audio months before I finally read the book. As I read, I was disappointed to see how many stories had been left out. I am very happy to have found this addition to the abridged version.

Save your Credit - Nothing New Here!
I loved the audio book World War Z, so I was excited when then companion became available.
But there are no new stories here, and very few additional details to the stories in the original. I will be returning this - definitely not worth a credit.

Doesn't Include The Whole Book
1st off, Shame on me for buying abridged (I didn't realize this)
2nd off, Shame on whoever made this abridged
But major stories, including many of my favorite were not included for what ever reason. Do not buy if you're expecting most of the book, this is merely highlighted notes with a couple new stories (that are fairly good as well)
The major downside to this is that since many stories are missing, new people to the series would know what a quisling, south African plans, or what even Lobo's are due to the lack of content. So at points, it won't even make sense unless you have read the book.
The voice acting is very well done, I have no complaints except for the zombie moans. 9/10 on the actors.
I'll happily give 5 stars if it ever becomes unabridged. Until then, avoid it unless you want a sloppy audiobook. (Read the book, it's 6/5 stars)

Repeat stories from the full version
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Had I known this was just a repeat of several stories from the full version of World War Z, I wouldn't have bought it. I would only give it 5 stars had I not bought it!
If you’ve listened to books by Max Brooks before, how does this one compare?
Repeat stories from the full version.
Any additional comments?
The story synopsis should have told us that this was the same stories - Nothing new here folks, move along -

SO MAD - This is not new stories
If you already have the newest version of World War Z, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It is a selection of stories that I guess were added to the new version. So basically I bought a collection of short stories that were already included in the version of World War Z that I had, not new "lost files". I feel ripped off.
