Publisher's Summary

The sequel to one of those most popular zombies of all time in a new, uncut, author's preferred edition!

In this sequel to The Rising, cities are overrun with legions of the undead, intent on destroying what's left of the living. Trapped inside a fortified skyscraper, a handful of survivors prepare to make their last stand against an unstoppable, merciless enemy. With every hour their chances diminish and their numbers dwindle, while the ranks of the dead continue to rise. Because sooner or later, everything dies. And then it comes back, ready to kill.

I love this storyline.

The story of The Rising and City of the Dead are not for everyone. As I said in my review of The Rising, this spin on zombies makes other brainless or wild animal zombies like The Walking Dead, or I Am Legend, look campy and uninspired. the voice performance was okay at the beginning but I am now a huge fan of Joe Hampel. He brings some much life to the characters and brought the pages to life. I hope he does the voice for The Conqueror Worms, if the make an audible version. Such a great book, from a brilliant writer and a very talented voice actor. 6 stars if I could.
