Publisher's summary

Like a brick at a birthday cake.

Shoreham Port in Brighton, England, has been secured by Adrian Ring alongside his friends, with the five navy ships that made the trans-Atlantic voyage to find the European Trinity. He must find the Soul, the Scribe, and the Warden and get them on their path, as he walk his, but there are obstacles.

The undead in Europe are faster and stronger than anything they’ve encountered, and the survivors here are hungry, and desperate for help. They can’t fight every zombie, but each one they pass could be a lethal threat to their own people, or to the locals who’ve fought hard to survive.

Luckily, he encounters a small, well-armed group of car-equipped survivors, led by a friendly man calling himself Chief, who dwarfs even the burly Adrian. They decide to work together to procure ground vehicles for the march north.
But Chief isn’t the savior he’s pretending to be, and there are far more monsters roaming in the dark of the old world than Adrian is prepared to face.

Dead Cities contains Adrian’s journal entries from September 9th, 2014 through November 27th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions The Ghost in the Boiler Room, Rachel and Mara, Fetters, Sanctuary, and Ernest Goes for a Walk.

Unhappy in the AUD universe

After 11 books and developing a relationship with the character Adrian, a stranger shows up in a world he’s never been apart of. I’m greatly disappointed with the change up. This narrator sounds like he’s just gotten into college, when the character is a late thirties military man.

Bring back James “FN” Foster. He brought Adrian to life, he intrigued me with the story. I’ve listened to 6 hrs of DJ and still don’t know what’s going on.

Ugh, betray the fans!

Going down

Least favorite in the series so far. Like everyone else has mentioned the new narrator doesn’t match. He’s not a bad narrator, but he doesn’t match the character. He ruined several otherwise funny jokes by his poor delivery. Most of the female characters especially Abby sound like stereotypical gay college boys. Adrian sounds more like a frat boy than the leader he is.
The story’s not bad, just nothing groundbreaking.

Narrator hurts it overall

The difference between this Narrator and the ones from the previous books in the series is night and day. Adrian’s character suffered along with the story line due to a narrator that is not knowledgeable about items described in the novel. Military jargon was robotic and clearly showed the narrator was not versed in its meaning. Narrator may be great at other types of stories but not those containing military type phrases or acronyms

Great addition to Adrian's undead diary

You have done it again Mr. Philbrook. As usual I absolutely love this book and the new narrator is quite good as well

Change in narrator’s.

Didn’t enjoy as much of the previous books. Used to the narrator from first 12 books. Just not the same.

Prob not the best of series

I have to say I don’t like the new narrator. How do you change Adrian’s voice so far into the series. Even though it’s still Philbrook’s writing the new narrator doesn’t make it sound like things Adrian would say.I definitely don’t like the performance of the other characters. It’s weird. I am looking forward to the next book, as usual. I think this is the book I liked the least but will read the next in the series, waiting……

Great story, WORST NARRATOR EVER

I love this story, and I have been a huge fan of the series since back when it was still a blog. I get that sometimes narrators have to change in a long series like this, but seriously, d.j. hiss-on-every-word makes he want to bash my head against the wall until I can't hear his constant whining hissing voice. The worst narrator I have ever had the misfortune of listening to. I almost couldn't get through it. It's a testament to how good the story is that I actually finished it even with this horrific narration.

NOT MY ADRIAN!!!!

I have been listening to Adrian's Undead Diary book 1 it is probably my all-time favorite horror series if not my favorite book series. and after reading this I still think it is my favorite series but I would like to say to James Anderson Foster that you sir are an a****** how dare you cultivate a character scratch that multiple characters that are well-loved well-recognized and cherished by your readers and listeners only after 11 bucks to change the damn narrator to this swarmy Bland no emotion narrator like DJ this book's need to be redone with the original narrator immediately
