Story
In the wake of the cataclysmic events that reshaped our world in 2020, a sense of relief washed over us all. By late 2023, I think we were ready to just live life again. I know I was. It was a time to make new friends and put the past to rest. Rayne and I hadn’t known each other long, but we were building a solid friendship, nothing more. It was our common interests that sent us on vacation together to my remote cabin. What we didn’t, couldn’t know, was that we were on a collision course with the end of the world as we knew it.

I enjoyed this one. Great cast of characters. Nothing new or original about the story but I did enjoy it. It’s a great start to a ZA series.
The narrator did a good job overall. I had to get used to him but after awhile the narration did grow on me.

Interesting take on the Zombie Genre
What made the experience of listening to Zed's World the most enjoyable?
The story was very well crafted. It told the story through different points of view and each view was very distinct.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Zed's World?
The Chaos at the Mobi (?)
What about S.W. Salzman’s performance did you like?
I thought that he did a good job of narrating the book. he was able to lend distinct voices to each character. His voice was a little rough and was hard to get used to at first.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
TERRORism on the Homefront!!!

Great series!
I love that this Audible version included both the first and second book! I was able to listen to both within this one file, in two days. I didn't want to put it down. It's great seeing a range of characters in this series. We have military, regular civilians, and collage aged people who all need to work together in order to survive the terrorist attacks. These attacks have caused chaos across the globe, as anyone bitten by an infected becomes infected, or as the characters are calling them, a zombie or Zed. It's full of action, gore, and drama!
S.W. Salzman is one of my favorite narrators, and he does a fantastic job giving our characters life through voice and tone. I enjoy his inflections, and the dialogue and narration flow. He doesn't just read the story; he puts us in the story.

Loved it
I had actually listened to the third audio book in this series, which I really enjoyed and led me to buy this set. The bonuses were the narrator and that this is a two-book set.
The narrator for these books is different from the narrator for the third book. I really enjoy his narration~he is one of my favourite narrators. His talent really lies in creating voices and personalities for the characters.
The only thing that I was not keen on was that at the beginning of book one, we learn what happens to one of the main characters. So whenever I get to listen to the forth instalment, I feel that I will be always expecting it without the surprise. Apart from that, I really enjoyed the books.

Exciting Zombie Adventure
I really enjoyed this action packed zombie survival story, it is the first two parts of a series and introduces you to the main characters at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.
The action starts right from the beginning and at the end you are left wanting more, I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. I recommend this book to all Zombie fans.

A good introduction to the series
I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review
This is a joint review for Zed's World Book One (or #0.5 on GoodReads), The Gathering Horde and Zed's World Book Two (or #1 on GoodReads), Roads Less Travelled.
I'm going to start off and just tell you here right now, if it ever came down to a Zombie apocalypse, I don't feel embarrassed to tell you that I would head straight on up over to the zombies and just give it the old, if you can't beat 'em then join 'em trick. I find myself reading (or watching) Zombie apocalypses stories just to see what tips get thrown out and how worth it it might be to try and survive.
The Gathering Horde is a great opener to this series. We learn here about how the virus spread, with terrorism as the main backdrop, and we are in the labs as the downfall of America is set in motion. Does it feel kinda sterotyped to who the bag guys are, yeah it does. I mean, it doesn't put all the bad guys into one bag, but that's a bit of a downside. *shrug* A great thing about this book is it is short, so makes for a really great teaser to see if it's something that you might like to pick up and explore further. It gives us a brief introduction to multiple characters, but there is no depth, exploration or full development within this short scene setter.
Roads Less Travelled gives us more character’s stories, and less Zombie action. Now that the Zombies are out in the world, we're thrown into different characters grouping together to try to survive and escape. D-Day is contacted to re-join the Army to help control the situation, yet how is he going to be able to navigate back to the checkpoint requested? I was more involved within D-Days storyline than the others. It got to the point with me that there were so many characters that I started to tune some out, following the action more than who was in it. I did like it flashing to different groups to give a broader sense of what was actually going on!
I listened to the audiobook for these and whilst good, it takes a bit of time to get used to the narrator. I give these together 3 stars, taking into account story and narrator, and I'm onto book 3 soon!

We're on our own out here.
This Audio book includes the first two episodes of an ongoing serial. As such, further books will be required to complete the story.
Having said that, the first of the two books could be read alone as it reads like a short story covering the redistribution of the virus which will cause such worldwide devistation. Book two moves on to the first hours, the release points, chaos and reaction from authorities, and introduces the reader to those characters likely to be playing a part in the books to come.
An interesting feature of these opening chapters is that the distribution of the virus released was a deliberately devised scheme, that the Zeds were very fast moving and actively aggressive.
Early days yet but the desperate groups of survivors trying to find a safe location seem to be growing in charactdr and this is ably assisted by the narration of S.W.Salzman. His slightly gruff voice is pleasant to hear and his reading is well paced and clear.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the rights ho?der, via Audiobook Boom. My thanks for that. I did enjoy listening and there were certainly some novel approaches which promise to make this slightly different to other zombie apocalypse books. But was I sufficiently involved to continue with the serial? Probably not.

Amazing - from the characters to the storyline!
These books grabs you from page one. I'm glad my graduation didn't go down like this! I love the diversity of angles that we have from terrorists to survivalists to those just trying to make it - all with Zombies of course.You can really tell that the author is interested in the psychology of a broken society where we stop worrying about what to buy and survival one again trumps everything else.
Great suspense, tense, action filled story all brought to life by the incredible narration.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

step into Zeds World
overnight chaos descends and the world we know is pulled out from beneath us.
It's something that deep down we all fear, a global biological terriost attack.
With so much unrest around the world at present no where is safe and this series taps into my deepest fear, a virus from which there is no escape.
Its edge of you'r seat, heart in your mouth action with fear and horror abound.
