About this listen
A world fallen under a plague of seven billion walking dead. A tiny island nation the last refuge of the living. One team of the world's most elite special operators. The dead, these heroes, humanity's last hope, all have...Arisen.
When the Zombie Apocalypse came, one country had shut down its borders in response to a major terrorist attack. Now Fortress Britain is the last bastion of the living with 50 million beleaguered survivors facing down a world of 7 billion animated corpses.And when civilization fell, one international team of supremely elite special operators was being assembled for a nearly impossible mission, deployed out of the SAS barracks at Hereford. Supremely trained and armed, always the most skilled, resolved, and unstoppable amongst us, now the commandos of Alpha team are humanity's last best hope for survival. Searching through the detritus of fallen Europe, scavenging pharmaceutical labs for clues to a vaccine that might bring humanity back from the brink, now they are tasked with one last desperate operation. They must cross the Atlantic aboard the world's only remaining supercarrier, insert by air into the very middle of a dead continent, and then fight their way on foot through a city of 3 million ravening dead guys. But these Zulus will not be like any zombies they have ever fought before...

No doubt I shall wince through the rest of the series as he mangles English accents and place names but I liked the story enough to want to listen to them all.
I would recommend this audio book but if you're British take a deep breath first.
Good but annoying

It is excellent. More a military Sci fi but with zombies instead of aliens.
Well worth going out on my favourite genres.
Not what I expected

Zombies are here!

I adore RC Bray but somebody needed to teach him the pronunciations of some of the places in Britain, that grated. Plus, for the English, we dont tend to think Slough is on the edge of London so some geographical points came from a non British perspective. This was a side irritant.
I hope the books develop well as there is promise but I am sitting on the fence a little at the moment.
Decent prequel if you want to start series

Where does Fortress Britain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best, totally awesome some of the best voice acting and some really high production values.What was one of the most memorable moments of Fortress Britain?
When pred and juice turn up at a barracks room brawl with there weapons, night vision and very little else.Which character – as performed by R. C. Bray – was your favourite?
All of alpha team, the reader really makes the characters live and breath.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I have read the novel previously and did read that in one sitting. Being an audio book adds a little extra Magic to the whole thing.Any additional comments?
Initially was worried about how this would work as a audiobook but it rocks.Totally awesome
