Planet of the Dead

By: Thomas S. Flowers

Narrated by: Rick Gregory

From the author of Feast and Reinheit comes a new chapter in horror....

Planet of the Dead.

News reports speak of mass panic and violence spreading across the globe. Negligent leaders hide behind misinformation. But in an age of paranoia and suspicion, who can say what is true anymore? Struggling to survive against a sweeping epidemic that has engulfed the planet, survivors will have to make hard choices in a world that no longer makes sense.

Live. Die. Or become one of the undead.

The Zompocalypse has returned to gnaw on you again

Ok, let me get this out here and now. YES, this is a zombie apocalypse book. I know there are now like a thousand of them out there. That doesn't mean that there can't be more. This one justifiably adds to the genre, and one thing that I really love is that is doesn't hold back on the gore. I am a splatterhound, and so this was right up my alley. Lots and lots of gruesome deaths, and a lot of stupid people do stupid things and get killed (just like real life). The blood falls like rain and the bodies drop like sandbags. I really did not want to stop listening.

I think a good reason for that, aside from excellent writing, was the amazing work done by Rick Gregory. The man can tell a story. He played this like he was in the middle of the zombie horde. The fact that he makes each character distinct and unique is impressive enough, but the way he controls the story is just off the charts impressive. He is without a doubt, one of my favorite narrators. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

Zombie Stories

This is a audio book of several different characters' individual and intersecting stories during the first days of a zombie apocalypse. I enjoyed most of the characters and their stories. I did not like the last character's story at all. I can see how this audio book could be the start to a decent series. The narrator did a very good job with the male and female characters and their emotions. I received this for free for an honest review.

Zombie plague strikes again!

Your classic tale of zombie plague destroying the world. A few survivors struggle to eek out a living in the ruins of society. A small band makes an office building their home with the hope to build a safe haven for the remains of humanity in it. They slowly add to their numbers yet face a growing concern not just in the number of zombies but also in the quality of zombies. It appears a super strain is emerging. Also the cure may be in their midst. Enjoy! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Fun zombie book. Fast and entertaining.

Story: This book was more like short stories, going back and forth. It worked here as they intermingled and was some suprise twists here and there. Well worth the time.

Writing: The writing was above average. Structures were fine and was never confused on what thebother wanted to say. I also enjoyed the structure of putting the characters in different chapters which can be found in Game of Thrones.

Narrator: The production was fine. I found the women to have a bitchy tone to them and not sure that was what was to be protrayed.

I reccomend this book. Its fun, fast and brutal at times.

The Beginning of a Dead Planet

This seemed more to me like a collection of stories existing in the same timeline versus one story. It jumps around between different characters and their respective story lines and never really comes together. Not sure if the survivors will ever join together. With that said this is a series so don't get involved with this one if you aren't willing to listen to more. There isn't an ending to this story so I early await the next one. I enjoy the author's other novels so I have high hopes for this series.
I am a huge fan of Rick Gregory's gritty voice and happen to enjoy most of the stories he reads. This narration really impressed me. I think he did a really good job with his voice and tone in this story and it is clear that he is maturing as a narrator.
