Publisher's summary

A brand-new heart-stopping audiobook from Charlie Higson, author of the best-selling Young Bond series, read by Paul Whitehouse - the most exciting thing you'll hear all year.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you....

When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician - every adult - fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.

Only children under 14 remain whole, and they're fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there alive?

Great, timeless story

The story hit just as hard as when I read it as a kid, the narration was immaculate. Honestly such a shame the other books of the same series aren’t on Audible. :(

Revisiting an old friend

The first book in this series came out when I was in middle school. The last book came out when I was a senior in high school.I was hooked. Hearing all these characters bright to life through narration is like seeing, rather hearing an old friend that you haven’t seen in a long time. Please audible put the rest of the series on here.

One of the Greatest Works of Horror

Charlie Higson’s is one of my favorite writers. Having read this book years ago, I was unable to finish the series. I’ve come back to it using audible as a refresher. The story holds horrifying dynamics and truths involving survival and mortality against morality. The depths to which it will shake you are limitless. Each book is more horrifying than the last.

If you like gore and detail. You will enjoy this book. I've read every book in this series and can't wait for the seventh to come out in the fall!

Good YA Zombie Book

Interesting story mainly for teens. I found the premise interesting enough to finish it. It had some very interesting parts and the characters were well done and executed. The narrator was good and the teenage characters were brought to life. The dialogue was interesting and realistic.

Where are the rest of the books in the series?

I work a lot and rarely have time to sit and read. I already read the first 3 books but it’s been some years since I read them so I was hoping the rest would be on here.
