About this listen
Rise of the Dead is a zombie novel with a lot of guts that aims for the brain, blending literary fiction with post-apocalyptic thrills.
Blake was never one for taking chances. He lived in a world of formulas and equations. A statistician in a controlled society where everything had become predictably mundane. That world disappeared the day the dead got up and began attacking the living.
Now, the end is here. Blake finds himself fighting for his life in a world that is rapidly spiraling out of control. He struggles to keep himself alive and must risk everything to find his family.
Along the way, Blake finds himself thrust among other unlikely survivors. Together they must adapt to the realities of the undead world, or join the legion of zombies. The characters must overcome their conditioned human apathy and come together if they have any chance of survival.
Rise of the Dead chronicles the first moments of the zombie apocalypse. While the story is a fast-paced thrill ride through an ever-growing zombie horde, the novel aims to draw upon familiar themes as those found in the Romero classic films.

Story
In the wake of the cataclysmic events that reshaped our world in 2020, a sense of relief washed over us all. By late 2023, I think we were ready to just live life again. I know I was. It was a time to make new friends and put the past to rest. Rayne and I hadn’t known each other long, but we were building a solid friendship, nothing more. It was our common interests that sent us on vacation together to my remote cabin. What we didn’t, couldn’t know, was that we were on a collision course with the end of the world as we knew it.

Zombies are real. And we made them. Are you prepared for the zombie apocalypse? The Smith family is, with the help of a few marines. When an airborne "zombie" plague is released, bringing civilization to a grinding halt, the Smith family, Steven, Stacey, Sophia, and Faith, take to the Atlantic to avoid the chaos. The plan is to find a safe haven from the anarchy of infected humanity. What they discover, instead, is a sea composed of the tears of survivors and a passion for bringing hope.

Celia Miller is the Ravencourt PD's only female officer. When she's not contending with the latest in a long line of lowlife drug abusers and wife beaters who pay more attention to her body than her badge, she has to put up with a police force that refuses to respect her. But Celia has a job to do, and for months her middle-of-nowhere desert town has been victimized by an increasingly violent gang dubbed "The Illegals". The alien masks they wear have made them an urban legend, but Celia's off-the-books investigation has uncovered the true scope of their criminal operation.

Absolutely Sensational
From the opening chapter, to the last sentence, this novel had me utterly enthralled. Jeremy Dyson nailed it, and the narration was absolutely superb. I'm sad it's over, as I feel like I've lost some friends! I hope Mr. Dyson is working hard on a second book, because I'm already ready to get my hands on it.

Run of the mill stereotypical ZA
this story was completely average in all respects. it had everything that a zombie apocalypse needs, but nothing past that. this is a great story for first-time reader of zombie apocalypse fiction, past that, I would not pay to listen to this knowing what I know now and probably wouldn't listen to it for free.
the narrator is distracting with his halting speech between what the character say and the narration of the story. the main character is a college instructor statistician who sounds like he smokes three packs of Marlboro Reds a day. it's just not very believable.
I did finish this book which means I enjoyed it, overall. not bad, but not great. just average.

Excellent!
I can't remember for sure, but I think I got the code for this via Audiobook BOOM! to be honestly reviewed.
This. Was. Great. I loved the anti-hero angle, and the characters are so good! The story's flow was very good, and I was drawn in very quickly. Once I finally had time to sit down and get into it, I couldn't stop until I was finished - which, by the way, was far too soon for me! LOL, I was NOT ready for it to be over. I really appreciated that, while this is a work of fiction, certain details were true to life. If there WERE ever a zombie apocalypse, no one is exempt. No one.
I found myself rooting for our core group of survivors, and hoping against hope that their wishes came true. And I got teary eyed when it didn't happen, or when some of the cast was lost. I am very attached to this story and must see it through to the end.
The narrator was a great fit for this story, too.
If you like zombie and apocalypse tales, you would most likely enjoy this, like I did.
Overall Bob says: 5 Platypires!
