It's been twelve years since the undead hordes swept over the earth forcing mankind to the brink of extinction. We now live like rats, scavenging in the ruins of our fallen civilization as the dead hunt us night and day. There is little left to scavenge, however. Grocery stores were emptied ages ago, gas tanks have long been dry and bullets are so precious that a man is lucky to have two to his name. Still, we survive. But for how much longer? Instinct and love have combined to turn Darwin's theory on its head. The strongest didn't survive in this world. They were the first to die, leaving behind a generation of orphans. It's a generation that's never had a full belly. It's a generation that has no idea what an Xbox did, or what algebra is for. It's a generation of children who never laugh out loud, and who have learned to cry softly because the dead are always near and the dead are always so very, very hungry.

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.

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.

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 -

Wasted credit. My bad.
My poir grade is on Audible itself. The story is pretty good. I spent a credit on this, not realizing that it was already part of a book I had bought previously. Would like my credit back, but I am aware the mistake was my fault. I hope in the future books are better labeled.

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.

This is the first book.
I have read the original book many many times. I used one of my credits to buy it, but none of it was familiar. So I used my other credit to buy this one, and this is actually the first one. I am relieved though because I was wondering how I had no memory of this book.
