About this listen

Billions died during the global civil war that followed the outbreak. Anarchy took grip. Chaos ruled. The world collapsed. In Britain, the evacuation failed. Nowhere was safe from the undead.

Four months after the outbreak Bill Wright has found safety in a ruined abbey in southern England, but he is still alone. All he has for company are the files sent to him by his shadowy contact, Sholto. On those, he believes he has found the origins of the undead, and the vast conspiracy in which he discovers he played an unwitting part.

He needs answers, and knows the only place they will be found is at the facility that created the virus. As he journeys through the desolate ruins of a dead civilisation, he meets other survivors. He rescues some, is rescued by others, but ultimately discovers that zombies are not the most deadly threat in an undead wasteland.

Picking up where we left off this is the adventure of the ordinary Bill who is not your normal post apocalyptic survivalist nut but a rather normal civil servant (or so it seems). The character development is a major factor for my 5* rating and the movement from an isolated survivor into a populated world is excellent. If you want a UK version of a zombie novel then this is it - but start from the beginning of the series.

Book Two - more zombies and people in the UK

Nice to see a story set in that little known island nation. I like this series so far, it's like I'm sat on the shoulder of the main character cheering him on. The narrator is a cheery guy, easy to listen to. And he is reading a good story too. Though with all vaccination/virus/plague type things there is the risk of breaking the universe (in my eyes at least). Either in this book or the first one - might be the end of the first one, I don't recall. Plot armour. It makes my teeth hurt. Sure he isn't immortal, but come ooooon

Hurrah it's set in Britain!

very confused by the messy book ordering in this series causing great frustration at time and purchase of wrong book as a result but after that the book itself is another one of those you can't bare to put down. great plot full of twists and turns especially the ending and characters so very likeable or hateable in some cases of course. well written definitely recommend this series. best book so far.

very confusing book order but awsome

Would you consider the audio edition of Surviving the Evacuation, Book 2: Wasteland to be better than the print version?

I have already read the kindle version of this story, but this audio version brings it all to life. The audiobook continues the story of Bill, a survivour in a zombie apocolypse.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked to follow Bill as he meets other survivours. The emotions he goes through as he struggles after being alone for months come across really well in the naration.

Any additional comments?

I am really enjoying this series (currently the author has written 8 books in this series) and I can't wait for the next part. I love to listen to these books while doing the washing up- for some reason it is a much more enjoyable chore while listening to people slaying zombies!

Excellent zombies and survival story.

Great book well written if you like walking dead then you will like this but listen to the first book first

Great book well written

This chapter continues right from where the first finishes, it starts well and strong and as expected but soon becomes messy and clunky. With the introduction of new characters and voices the diary journal format goes out the window sacrificing the simple story narrative for something that does not quite work well.
The conversational pieces just do not work and it is just unnecessary, a real shame but still a good story and it does manage to keep you wanting more. I am worried about where the story will go as I fear it will be too complex and perhaps suffer the same fate as the walking dead.
Would have been Mitch better to keep it the simple journal format and different from the rest although diary of the dead wins on that format.

Not as good as the first but still good
