About this listen
In the Last Days of America, Hope Is Not a Plan
When a catastrophic scientific accident unleashes a virus that raises the dead, civilization collapses overnight. As cities fall and the government crumbles, a handful of survivors must navigate a landscape crawling with flesh-eating zombies and ruthless human predators.
Dr. Benjamin Lieber and Colonel Jack Crown, M.D., race to evacuate key personnel to a fortified compound. At the same time, Coach Mark Landi leads a group of teenagers in a desperate bid for survival. When Landi is bitten but shows immunity, he becomes humanity's best hope for a cure—if he can reach the safety of the Virginia compound alive.
From the blood-soaked streets of Washington, D.C., to the last bastions of human resistance, Zombie Apocalypse: The Origin is a heart-stopping thrill ride through the end of the world as we know it. With cinematic action, deeply human characters, and a chillingly plausible scientific basis, Michael K. Clancy reimagines the zombie genre for a new generation.
Clancy's meticulous research and attention to detail make the outbreak chilling plausible, grounding the horror in scientific possibility. Prepare for sleepless nights and racing hearts as you follow the interconnected stories of soldiers, scientists, teenagers, and ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances.
Who will survive? What will be left of their humanity? And can anyone find a way to turn back the tide of the undead before it's too late?
Zombie Apocalypse: The Origin is a must-listen for fans of apocalyptic fiction, zombie enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a story that combines heart-pounding action with deep, thought-provoking themes.
The saga continues with Zombie Apocalypse 2: WILDFIRE, Zombie Apocalypse 3: Ghost Territory, and Zombie Apocalypse 4: Rise of the Dead.
