Outbreak

Great Bitten, Book 1

By: Dawn Peers

Narrated by: Ian Gordon

You're walking down the street in the early hours of the morning, in one of the most densely populated cities in the world, when you see something that makes the rational side of your brain itch. It has mortal wounds and shouldn't be walking, but it is, and if you hang around for too long, it will be heading towards you. How would you react? You survive the initial throes of civil unrest and the collapse of law and order. The world has become your playground. What kind of person do you become? You have never lived for anyone else except yourself. You are selfish. You like being alive. But you do have a conscience, and a soul. Who do you save first?

Warren is not a likeable man. Warren doesn't even like himself. But he does like existing, and he wants to continue doing it, no matter what hell is emerging around him. Being pragmatic and a bit of a git to boot, he doesn't find making the hard decisions difficult. What he does find out, is that the hard decisions are not necessarily the right ones. And being a bastard in life does not prepare you for the clashes that will ensue once the edges of society begin to blur and fade out. It isn't just the infected and the resurrected that Warren needs to be wary of, as he negotiates his way around the post-infection south coast in a haphazard attempt to keep himself and his family alive.

ok book

it was an ok read I like the characters and story line
let's see what the next book has in store

A Big Bite of Snarky Survivor

Any additional comments?

All in all a pretty good effort in a very overly crowded and well chewed genre. Zombies in the UK introduce a different level of challenges for survivors as evidenced here. The challenges of survival in a relatively gun free environment introduce new twists and difficulties. I think some of the choices made and mental blocks encountered are cultural and gives the story a different take that one sees in US based apocalyptic fiction.

Zombies take over the UK

well written story with a good take on the zombie apocalypse striking the UK. Good character and story development. Sticks to the standard zombie types and was a good listen. The narrator delivers on the voices, accents and lends life to the characters. Will look for the rest of the series as it comes out. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review

Overall, I enjoyed listening to this book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, to those that enjoy zombie books.

Any additional comments?

The protagonist was kind of an A-hole. It was a little refreshing from all the "I must save everyone" protagonist. I look forward to the next book in the series. The narrator did an okay job. I think he could have done a better job with differentiating the characters. I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Worth a Listen

Overall this is a decent book. It is a typical and fairly realistic interpretation of how some people would act during a zpoc. Check it out.
