About this listen

The zombie plague unleashes its horrors on the suburbs of Atlanta without warning, pitting the living against the dead. Caught in the mass exodus, Lilly Caul struggles to survive in a series of ragtag encampments and improvised shelters. But the Walkers are multiplying. Dogged by their feral hunger for flesh and crippled by fear, Lilly relies on the protection of good Samaritans by seeking refuge in a walled-in town once known as Woodbury, Georgia.

At first, Woodbury seems like a perfect sanctuary. Squatters barter services for food, people have roofs over their heads, and the barricade expands, growing stronger every day. Best of all, a mysterious self-proclaimed leader named Philip Blake keeps the citizens in line. But Lilly begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.... Blake, who has recently begun to call himself The Governor, has disturbing ideas about law and order.

Ultimately, Lilly and a band of rebels open up a Pandora’s box of mayhem and destruction when they challenge The Governor’s reign - and the road to Woodbury becomes the highway to hell in this riveting follow-up to Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga's New York Times best-selling The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor.

Different but so good!

The books are not like the show at all so don't order if you think this. The books, at least the first couple are all the back story of the governor.
I was so surprised at how much I truly enjoy TWD books. If you're a fan you really need to listen to the book series.

The Walking Dead from someone other than Rick

Good story following a new character from the popular show. If you enjoy the comic or TV series then you will enjoy this book. Narration was excellent.

The deaths of any of the main characters were well written.

Narration saves it

I enjoy a good audiobook, but this particular one struggles to hit the mark. Struggled to stay “tuned in” on the storyline. I came to “The Walking Dead” from AMC and sometimes it’s hard not to bring the storyline and context from a tv series and expect the book to parallel. I came to the audiobook series with a clean slate and an open mind. It’s just felt muddled at times and droning with unnecessary “filler.”

The narrator carries this for me otherwise I’m not sure I would’ve found myself finishing it.
