Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Editorial reviews
Max Brooks ist gelungen, was niemand für möglich hielt: In "World War Z. Operation Zombie" berichtet er eindringlich und doch besonnen, wie die Welt nach der Zombie-Apokalypse aussehen könnte. Auch im ungekürzten Hörbuch - gesprochen von David Nathan und Michael Pan - steht in diesem Was-Wäre-Wenn-Spiel die Erzähltechnik der Oral History im Vordergrund.
Die Sprecher bleiben bei der unkommentierten Aneinanderreihung von Augenzeugenberichten angemessen nüchtern. Der Inhalt erhält damit umso mehr Durchschlagskraft: Der Horror einer möglichen Zombie-Katastrophe wird von vielen Seiten und aus vielen Mündern beleuchtet. Damit hat Brooks eine Mischung zwischen Survival-Guide, Thriller, Horror und einen einmaligen Genrebastard geschaffen.
Dieses Hörbuch wird an deinem Glauben an die Unmöglichkeit von Zombies rütteln. Und selbst Skeptiker in Zombie-Fans verwandeln. Nimm dir schon einmal 14 Stunden am Stück Zeit. Denn den Pausenknopf wirst du ignorieren.

Torn between loyalty to his country and loyalty to his troops, he writes a brutally honest—and possibly suicidal—letter home to unmask the truth.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Une histoire orale de la guerre des Zombies, portée par un quatuor de comédiens. La guerre des Zombies a eu lieu, et elle a failli éradiquer l'ensemble de l'humanité. L'auteur, en mission pour l'ONU - ou ce qu'il en reste - est poussé par l'urgence de préserver les témoignages directs des survivants de ces années apocalyptiques. Il a voyagé dans le monde entier pour les rencontrer, des cités en ruine qui jadis abritaient des millions d'âmes jusqu'aux coins les plus inhospitaliers de la planète.

interesting, bizarre, confronting but nonsense
The German performance is great, the problem is the story: a lot of thought went into this but there are logical inconsistencies which occasionally grate, and some reinterpretation about how slow zombies 'work', which is interesting but ... doesn't make sense and fine this is about zombies but ... the zombies need a brain, only die if their brain is destroyed but their muscles don't need fuel, have no liquid blood, but breathe, and don't digest food but it moves through their intestines ...
the book is about a lot of issues, and that's an interesting take on this subject but it's also frustrating because it takes attributes to the extreme. And that's done for a reason but also makes the situations unrealistic (and again ... zombies, but) which in turn makes it unpleasant to listen to.
it also completely differs from the movie which is bizarre having watched the movie previously, but that's more about the movie than this source material.

Downloads in German
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who speaks German would enjoy it more. It shows up in the shop in English, downloads in German with a German cover.
What was most disappointing about Max Brooks’s story?
It is done in German.
How could the performance have been better?
Having the performance in English like the cover would help.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from World War Z?
The slamming the baby into the wall scene which is too much like the pivotal scene from Beloved.
Any additional comments?
Fix the download. It's sold as a book in English but downloads in German with a German cover on the device.

Greate small stories!
If you want to read something new, a book based on a big number of smaller stories which somehow are connected then this book is great . It shows the story of the world against the zombies through smaller stories from different people.
