Publisher's summary

Go back to the beginning of the end of the world....

Hell has come to earth as sadistic zombies rampage and massacre the human population. Reverend Thomas Martin has lost his congregation to the chaos but has found two wayward survivors to protect—Becky and John. The three of them have holed up in Martin's church in a desperate attempt for survival. But as supplies run low and civilization crumbles around them, Martin must come to a realization—God has abandoned them. But why?

Is there any chance of hope in this new world? Is there any chance for deliverance?

Modern horror legend, Brian Keene returns to his fan-favorite universe of The Rising with a tale of faith, loss, and zombies.

This special edition also includes two short stories that expand and explore The Rising mythos—"The Resurrection and the Life" and "The Siqqusim who Stole Christmas."

A quick take

A brief but enjoyable visit with an old friend. The narrator does this story justice, can’t recommend enough.

A good horror quick listen

The Rising Deliverance by Brian Keene is a fun end of times story. The other bonus stories were also very interesting. The narrator Joe Hempel did a great job telling the stories. I would deff recommend this one if you like end of times type stories.

A well done quickie from Brian two bonus stories

A Rising world prequel story of Reverend Thomas Martin. A very well done little quickie from Brian Keene. I wish it was a wee bit longer. The two bonus stories were a nice addition as well.

Decent but not groundbreaking

I didn't originally realize that the main story here is just a prequel story related to The Rising. So I'm totally at fault for not paying enough attention to the description. Having not read The Rising, I feel like it's hard to be fair in reviewing this. Maybe if I'd read it, I would feel differently, but as it stands, I just don't feel like it was particularly original or groundbreaking. It's just a zombie story. It's well-written, but not really special and didn't stand out to me.

Keene and Hemple are a goodly horrifying pair

Keene is the modern day master of the Zombie genre today. I don't think there is another writer who can touch him right now. Hempel probably talks horror in his sleep; its the man's bread and blooder. For a short 3 hour period this audiobook pays out one hell of a bang for your buck. Creepy, gorey, no-sleepy type of story. Give it a shot, if you like Zeds, undead, and hopeless heroes fighting for one more breath.

where's the rest

The book started out ok, but it was just the beginning of the story. Not sure if there's an actual book or if this is it. The narrator wasn't too bad
