About this listen

Escape is the first omnibus containing Escaping the Dead, Tales of the Forgotten, and Only the Dead Live Forever in one collection.

From the outbreak in Afghanistan to the struggles at sea, Brad and his comrades realize the war for humanity has only just begun. And there's no guarantee any of them will survive the long journey home....

Escaping the Dead: Alone in a foreign land. The radio goes quiet while on convoy in Afghanistan, a lost patrol alone in the desert. With his unit and his home base destroyed, Staff Sergeant Brad Thompson suddenly finds himself isolated and in command of a small group of men trying to survive in the Afghan wasteland. Every turn leads to danger. The local population has been afflicted with an illness that turns them into rabid animals. They pursue him and his men at every corner and stop. Struggling to hold his team together and unite survivors, he must fight and evade his way to safety.

Tales of the Forgotten: The world is at war with the Primal Virus. Military forces across the globe have been recalled to defend the homelands as the virus spreads and decimates populations. Out on patrol and assigned to a remote base in Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Brad Thompson's unit was abandoned and left behind, alone and without contact. They survived and have built a refuge, but now they are forgotten. No contact with their families or commands. Brad makes a tough decision to leave the safety of his compound to try and make contact with the States, desperate to find a rescue for his men. What he finds is worse than he could have ever predicted.

Only the Dead Live Forever: The escape from Afghanistan was only the beginning. The trio survived the initial fall and thought they had reached safety, but find themselves once again abandoned and surrounded by the primals. Having no contact with their families or commands, they must fight to continue on....

Wiild Ride

This is the first three books in the Wiskey Tango Foxtrot series. It's essentially set in a zombie apocalypse and you are following Staff Sergeant Brad Thompson as he and other military survivors try to figure out what happened and where to go now that the world as they know it has come to an end. Brad meets several characters along the way during his travels. the author has a military background so he knows his facts. the characters don't act out of character for military trained men and women.

Escape: The First Omnibus

I just finished this omnibus and I am thoroughly impressed. This collection of books brings together action, military strategy, and intense character development in a way that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The story centers around a team of elite soldiers on a high-stakes mission, blending tactical combat with personal stakes. The plot unfolds at a rapid pace, with enough twists and turns to keep listeners engaged, while also offering emotional depth through well-crafted characters. The themes of camaraderie, duty, and sacrifice are explored throughout, making this audiobook a compelling listen for fans of military thrillers.

Andrew Wehrlen’s narration is top-notch. His voice work brings the diverse cast of characters to life, each with their own distinct personalities. His pacing is perfect, maintaining the high-energy feel of the action scenes while allowing the more reflective moments to breathe. I particularly enjoyed how he portrayed the main characters’ emotions and the tension in pivotal scenes.

Escape: The First Omnibus is an excellent choice for fans of military fiction and action-packed thrillers. With an engaging storyline, fantastic narration, and high-quality production, I highly recommend it. Whether you're a fan of the genre or new to it, this audiobook delivers an exciting experience from start to finish. I look forward to exploring more of W.J. Lundy’s work!

An easy listen

Although I love post apocalyptic fiction, I am not one to read or listen to books that are heavily military based. That said, I enjoyed listening to this whole series. The characters were well rounded and it was an easy listen.

Starts strong...finishes meh

I was really getting into this omnibus audiobook when it started out. It was very interesting and the writing was well paced...then suddenly, it wasn't. The story seemed to DRAG for the last 40-45% of the audiobook. I already have the other two omnibus audiobooks so I hope the pacing and flow is "tuned up" or I may DNF them...

This is a perfect example of "write what you know"...not the "zombie" part, but the military side of it as the author was in the military at the time of writing these books (not sure if he still is now). Without his firsthand knowledge of military equipment, etc, this book would have FLOPPED (IMO).

Narration was done well. The narrator didn't standout as either good or bad...he blended in and let the story speak.
