About this listen

More than 37 hours of post-apocalyptic survival.

With 99.7 percent of the Earth's population dead and gone, the few who remain struggle to survive in an empty world. The scattered. The leftovers. These are their stories.

This collection contains the first four volumes of the Scattered and the Dead series, audiobooks 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0.

Meet Mitch, a father infected with the zombie virus. His wife is gone. He has 24 hours until he turns. Can he make sure his kids are taken care of before time runs out?

Meet Travis, a 23-year-old wimp who ran away as his parents were murdered by raiders. Surrounded by towers of scavenged booze and pills, he only wants to numb the pain...until he happens upon the men who killed his family. Now, he has a choice.

Meet Erin. She's 16. Six months ago, she was worried about prom. Now, she worries about zombies and raiders and feeding an eight-year-old orphan.

Meet Baghead. Meet Ray and Lorraine. Meet Decker and Teddy and Fiona.

Meet the utterly lost who look for meaning in humanity's fading glow. Meet the scattered and the dead. Grab the audiobook bundle today.

Disjointed

Jumps back and forth which I found hard to follow. Some parts good.

Good narration.

The Best End of the World Ever

The first four books follow a series of people in their journey before, during and after the end of the world. Their struggles, joys, sadness, happiness, disasters and achievements along with more than a few zombies for good measure.
The books follow several characters in different locations throughout the United States as they live through an apocalypse, a virus has wiped out the majority of the population with a significant number returning from the dead to become flesh eating zombies, one bite and you are guaranteed to join their number.
We meet Decker, who is watching it all mapped from his window afraid to speak the woman in the apartment over the hall; Travis who saw things he can’t un-see and is blotting it all out; Erin and Izzy, two young orphans trying to survive alone; Mitch with a hard task he doesn’t know that he can complete; Ray a con man trying to lead an honest life; to name but a few.
The books were brilliantly read and I for one can’t wait for the next instalment of The Scattered and the Dead.
Give it a listen, I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Not for me

About 5 hours in and I'm afraid that it's not for me. \the 'dear diary' style means that there isn't really a storyline other than the over arching "It's the end of the world. There may (or may not) be zombies. Last man standing" story is a bit generic. I've got the point where I'm hoping someone will jump out and cave in Dekkers head just to instil some excitement and interest.

One of my favourites

I am a huge zombie genre fan and this is honestly one of my favourites. I think when you have listened to/read as many zombie books as I have you start to look for something with a bit more to offer. Really like the depth of characters, this is the most important thing to me.

Boring

It is soooooo slow. Everytime it becomes interesting it moves to a new storyline. The idea is interesting though.
Good it is boring!

boring waste of a credit

this is just dozens of chapters of badly written descriptions of the same thing over and over. too boring for me to finish. i actually resent the time spent trying to get into this. there is no actual storyline and it feels like a unfocused mess.

note to self - dont buy bargain bin books

it's quite difficult to describe how awful these books are - complete dribble.
37 hours of .
bla bla, I cant quite place it, bla bla, doctor pepper, bla bla cant quite put my finger on it, bla bla, doctor pepper.
if they removed all the references to doctor pepper and other soft drinks this book would be 10 minutes long.
just painful - ask yourself why it's in the bargain bin - I paid £3 for this book and I think it was overpriced.

Just Couldn't Get in to this one

I love this genre and have had some great fun listening to many other stories of this kind .... however If I'm honest this story was hard to get in to. The Reader is good just the fragmented story lines just get tedious after a while
