About this listen

Apocalypse: Disorder and chaos ravage London when thousands are contaminated by the accidental discharge of an experimental bioweapon. The disease robs its hosts of rational thought, giving them a singular desire - find more living flesh to infect.

Aftermath: Peter, alone by choice and oddly thriving, finds himself suddenly responsible for the life of someone other than himself. Elsewhere, other survivors stake their own claims to land and resources, but the inexplicable swarms of undead threaten to gather and dissipate constantly.

Abandoned: The virus spreads to every corner of the country while the combined forces of the naval fleet set sail for deeper waters and leave the UK to its fate. The few groups that remain are separated after a fateful battle for England, left to their own devices.

Adversity: As if flesh-hungry zombies weren't enough, a harsh winter strikes.

Adaptation: The apocalypse continues in the penultimate chapter of the Toy Soldiers series. Will anybody make it out alive?

Annihilation: Fleeing the seemingly unstoppable enemy, the survivors pin their hopes on a final attempt for freedom, but that means they must turn their backs on their home forever.

Highly Commended

If you liked the Mountain Man series narrated by the superlative RC Bray then you are in for a real treat!
I searched for something suitable as a replacement read as I had listened to the whole series and saved this book in my library for a few months.
Although narrated by the sublime John Lee I just couldn’t give it a start - what a wasted few months they were, from the starting chapter it takes you and quite simply listened to it with every bit of free time available.
With a slightly different slant - with a more militarily base and with less visceral gore than MM it is nonetheless just as powerfully written by the excellent Devon C Ford if not better in detail.
I commend this series wholeheartedly to you the listener…

The Read Undead

This is an exceptionally good book! It transports you into the action of a fast paced story with great characterisations portraying the bleakness of a world lost to pandemic disease and cannibalism. I picked this up as it was on offer for free expecting the usual tropes in tales of this type. It offers more humanity than you would predict when dealing with the atavism of the human condition and yet keeps the narrative moving at pace. It is reminiscent of most other zombie apocalypse type literature and film and yet does offer other perspectives on the genre and was infinitely enhanced by John Lee’s performance. It was an enjoyable listen and I will definitely seek out other titles by this author.

A must read

If you’re like me and a bit of geek for all things eighties, then you’ll absolutely love this book. I’m still shocked at all the historically accurate gear and equipment the characters use. The book itself is thrilling, chilling and exciting. I definitely recommend it.

brilliant

I read a review before i started this, the guy that reviewed it said he had read all Devon C Fords books and said there were no main characters and he gave it back as he said it was rubbbsh well he must have read a different book than this, I thought it one of the best ones yet the only thing I didn't like was the narrator pronunciation of a GPMG's nickname Gympy but pronounced it gimp py were my pronunciation as a army vetran would call it a Jim-py, I hope there i a continuation of the story with Peter.

Fantastic story!

I loved this, had me hooked from start to finish! I really got into Peter's story, it certainly got me invested.

If you're after emotion, progression, gore, and a gripping storyline... Toy Soldiers is for you!

Best story I have listened to in years

Outstandingly well written plot and story that unfolds and makes you feel like you are lost in the world with the characters as it's going to be a long ride with happy and dad moments to make you think. British walking dead is how I see this story
