Mutated

Dead World Series #4

By: Joe McKinney

Narrated by: Todd McLaren

25 to 1. Those are the odds of being struck down-and resurrected-by the savage plague that's sweeping the country, forcing survivors to band together against the dead. Even among the living, there is dissension. A new leader known as the Red Man has risen up and taken charge-and he's nearly as dangerous as the hungry dead. Some, like Bob Richardson and his friends, strike out on their own. Because if the men with guns don't get them, the zombies will.

Fleeing the cities, Richardson and his crew find sanctuary in an abandoned farm. But their stronghold may not be strong enough. Something strange and terrifying is happening to the undead. They're banding together. Working as a group. Hungering for a common goal: human flesh. And lots of it.

excellent plot

loved the audio, I read the first 3 books years ago, love it more in audio

a constant adventure

I like the characters in the book sometimes I didn't like the fact that they put more emphasis on the Red Man

Wow

What did you love best about Mutated?

This was an excellent book and as a retired LEO I loved it more!

Have you listened to any of Todd McLaren’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Todd McLaren's performance and reading styler kept me on the edge of my seat. He creates a visual movie as you listen to him.

A great addition to the zombie genre

What made the experience of listening to Mutated the most enjoyable?

Todd McLaren does a good job of narration although he's not really that good at the female parts, but you have to give him an "A" for effort. It goes beyond just a zombie breakout with the addition of the mutated self-aware zombie leader. This book is supposed to be a continuation of the Apocalypse of the Dead.

What other book might you compare Mutated to and why?

Kind of resembles the Zombie Fallout books by Mark Tufo. Not only do the survivors have to deal with the zombie infestation, but they also have to deal with an extra threat, someone who can control the zombies.

Which scene was your favorite?

Of course at the end. I don't want to tell the exact part it would spoil the ending.

Who was the most memorable character of Mutated and why?

That would be Nicky cause somebody's got to be the butt kicker.

was a twist

I didn't expect this to be as good as it was and I loved the twist with the black shits.
