Every week, I rise from the dead....
Headshot has just gone live and the whole world's playing the new Artificial Reality blockbuster. Unfortunately, unless you can buy your way onto the Survivor's side, you can only participate as a Zombie. Each week, the forces gather to tear each other down to the bone...until, at week's end, the Apocalypse is reset.
Ryan's played the Beta for months, but now that his favorite game has launched, he finds it consuming his life - even as he struggles to decipher whether or not there's actually a way to succeed if you're not willing to Pay to Win.
But he's got bigger problems to deal with. There's something sinister going on beneath the surface of Headshot, and it looks like he's wrapped up in it whether he likes it or not.
Don't miss the first book in a thrilling post-apocalyptic LitRPG series featuring hordes of undead. It's perfect for fans of Daniel Schinhofen, Tao Wong, and Chris Carney.

I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Unique take on LitRPG, more like a LitFPS

The biggest issue for most readers is the main character as he's kind of an ass, an anti-social gamer, and will constantly regard anyone richer than him with disdain and see his game character as his real self.
As a gamer I can understand a certain dislike for people who 'pay-to-win' but when the person pay $20K for a leg up in an otherwise FREE game then it's more like pity, or apathy because it's just rich folk wasting their money because they can, but acting like its some major form of injustice is just annoying.
But otherwise a decent one time listen for anyone interested in game books without the usual life or death conflict.
Decent overall but not for everyone

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it had a cool premise. The main character is playing a zombie apocalypse VR MMORPG. However, he is playing as a zombie. Rich players can pay to be human, with many advantages, but poor players, like the MC, are stuck as free-to-play zombies. In the beginning, his goal is survival. However, he then comes into possession of an artifact that changes everything.
The book has some good action, intense battles, humor, cool special abilities, and out-of-the-box strategies. It was a fun book. I recommend it. The narration was good.

Before that point, the story is about as fun as a heroin addiction. The main character incessantly complains about the game, how miserable he is, how much he's neglecting his health, and how much he needs to play the game. Heroin addiction, but as a game where you play a zombie. During many portions of the story, the main character is just staying in a place for hours, waiting. Talking about how miserable he is, how much he's risking his health, how little chance he has, how dull it all is, why he should stop and eat something or sleep or work. Then more waiting. More nothing as he spends paragraphs waxing philosophic about hopelessness, and then saying how wonderful the game is. Then more waiting, more complaining.
Occasionally, something new will happen, or the MC will actually do something instead of agonizing about it. The action scenes are fairly good. I stuck it out, wondering if the story would turn into some sort of commentary on addiction.

Then the swimming pool scene happens, and the main character finally stops the non-stop complaining. Fairly good after that.
Good after a swimming pool.

I loved the book! Matthew Seige really knocked this one right outta' the park! And, as for Vikas Adam, well he's joined the ranks of first class narrators, that I'll wanna insta-buy!
I found this edge-of-your-seat book well crafted, with Ryan, the Zombie/protagonist' POV delivering a great, plot driven story.
So yeah, if you want more books like Ready Player One, or Nick Coles book Soda Pop Soldier, give this one a try!
An edge-of-your-seat zombie litRPG.

This one was more outside the box than most I've listened too. It's about a gamer who is addicted to a PVP zombie survival game. The premise is interesting, and the story is well executed. There is plenty of suspense, but I'm not sure how the story will develop in the next book. This will become either an epic series or will just turn into a meh one. This is me really hoping for the epic side of things.
As to this Audio book by itself, it is solid with some serious potential.
Intriguing
