Dead City

By: Joe McKinney

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

Texas? Toast. Battered by five cataclysmic hurricanes in three weeks, the Texas Gulf Coast and half of the Lone Star State is reeling from the worst devastation in history. Thousands are dead or dying - but the worst is only beginning. Amid the wreckage, something unimaginable is happening: a deadly virus has broken out, returning the dead to life - with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. The nightmare begins....

Within hours, the plague has spread all over Texas. San Antonio police officer Eddie Hudson finds his city overrun by a voracious army of the living dead. Along with a small group of survivors, Eddie must fight off the savage horde in a race to save his family.

Hell on Earth. There's no place to run. No place to hide. The zombie horde is growing as the virus runs more rampant. Eddie knows he has to find a way to destroy these walking horrors... but he doesn't know the price he will have to pay.

Critic reviews

"A merciless, fast-paced and genuinely scary read that will leave you absolutely breathless." (Brian Keene)

EXCELLENT READ!!!!!

Would you listen to Dead City again? Why?

I would listen to this book again

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

Yes.... I'm going through a Zombie faze

A welcome twist to a zombie book

The book was well written, great narration. Very good story, very different from most of the zombie books I've listen to.

good

good fast zombie read. lots of action . liked the ending quite a bit. go for it!

Entertaining

Marcus is my favorite character. Eddie is my second favorite. The story kept me interested. The way Eddie stayed alive is remarkable because he is not a very good fighter. Mostly lucky.

Very, very exciting and thrilling.

This was a really good read. Taking you from a normal day on the job to a crazy night filled with tension and emotion. As the story went on you could really get the feeling of what Eddie was going through trying to get back to his family. If you like zombie books this is one you should not look over.
