A Message from The Author

Writing The Undead is a humbling experience. I am eternally grateful to the readers and listeners for the incredible support you always show.

Dan Morgan superbly narrated Parts 1 to 10, but unfortunately he was not able to continue. To my delight, the wonderfully talented Joe Jameson has now taken the series on. His range and skills are superb.

I am aware of the feedback about the voice of one of my characters, Dave. If this change has upset your listening experience then I can only apologise, but both Joe and I, and everyone at Audible, have listened to the points you made and take them very seriously. It is a wonderful thing to have such responsive fans, so willing to listen and work to make it better, plus the interactive nature of the series means you the listener can speak out and say what you like and don't like, otherwise how would we know?

We've got some cracking days ahead of us. Some real stonking rip-roaring storylines to come and both Joe and I can only hope you'll stay with us on this journey.

Take care,

RR Haywood.

After the carnage of the night and dealing with an infected Lani, the team leave the fort and once more venture into rural towns to find food and buy time. As the day wears on, the tension between Howie and Marcy grows, with increasingly petty arguments that sap the morale of the others.

They find a deserted village where the infection strikes in vast numbers. With too many to fight head-on, the lads flee and take refuge in an old mansion. Meanwhile, Marcy and Howie become trapped in a house, and the scientist riding on horseback stumbles across the village.

Becoming predictable

I’ve always disliked skipping sections when reading a book. It seems to me that if I’ve committed to read a novel then I owe it my full attention. However with this series I find myself routinely skipping ahead whenever I hit certain segments. They have become formulated and predictable in their arcs. The fight scenes, Howie’s ruminations and any description of the group’s devotion to each other or their “cause”.

Additionally, the writing has become flowery and a little over the top in places. Do we really need to hear again and again (and again) how good Howie’s band of misfits are? Or how Howie struggles with his place in the universe? Either way, Howie is becoming annoying.

I’m also noticing more and more how the women are typically portrayed first by their looks and abilities as an afterthought. Their looks are continually mentioned whenever the character is referred to. And, of course, all of the women on Howie’s team are startlingly beautiful and captivating.

Last, the more I think about it, we are now two weeks in. This group is referred to as a band of soldiers, perhaps even elite soldiers. I keep trying to reconcile that with the weeks and months it typically takes to train. I know this is fiction, but just seems too far-fetched. Wouldn’t it make more sense for at least one or two of them to not be up to snuff? I find it frustrating that an author that has obviously spent so much time researching glosses over some basics.

At this point I’m in too deep to not finish the series. Unfortunately, it’s turning into a slog more than an escape.
