Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Invasion

By: Jay Bonansinga

Narrated by: Fred Berman

Out of the ashes of a devastated Woodbury, Georgia, two opposing camps of ragtag survivors develop - each one on a collision course with the other.

Underground, in the labyrinth of ancient tunnels and mine shafts, Lilly Caul and her motley crew of senior citizens, misfits, and children struggle to build a new life. But a secret ambition still burns in Lilly's heart and soul. She wants her beloved town of Woodbury back from the plague of walkers, and now the only thing that stands in her way currently roams the wasted backwaters of Georgia....

Way out in the hinterlands, amid the rising tide of walkers that seem to be pushing in from all directions, the psychotic Reverend Jeremiah Garlitz rebuilds his army of followers with a diabolical secret weapon. He has designs on the destruction of Lilly and her crew - the very people who vanquished his cultish church - and now, for the first time, he has the means to bring a special brand of hell down upon the tunnel dwellers.

The final confrontation between these two human factions unleashes an unthinkable weapon - forged from the monstrous hordes of undead, perfected by a madman, and soaked in the blood of innocents.

From the creator of the TV sensation The Walking Dead comes the next installment in this terrifying and completely original series, where the legions of the dead come alive to carve out their domain.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Fred Berman paints a gory picture of life for the people of Woodbury who haven't yet been eaten by zombies.... This audio production doesn't encroach on either the television show or the comic series. Instead, it creates its own mythology using people on the fringes." ( AudioFile)

Entertaining story

I really like the reader of this series. I appreciate that the same voice is telling the story. But ... this series is addicting and well written. I have been glued to what is going to happen next to our heroine. Can’t wait till the next installment!!!

Awesome as usual!

I loved the story! It's so cool to be able to hear another dimension of another group and how they struggle to survive. To be able to also hear how their lives have impacted Rick and his group is really neat. I recommend this to any Walking Dead fan.

not the best of the series but still amazing

not the best of the series but was amazing nonetheless. lots of suspense and the narrator is great

Another good addition to the series

I have enjoyed the story of Lily Call and the other survivors, and I think this novel was better than the previous part of the series. No spoilers but the highlights were some good action and creative zombie kills. There were a few long conversations, but that just part of this series of novels.

Well written zombie king theme

Of all the stories of someone leading an army of zombies, this is the only one that was good. The author made a great effort to give a believable background and motivation of why this crazy preacher is doing what he is doing, his methods and why humans are following him too. It worked. Great character depth, twists and I like Lilly again, not like in the last book. Satisfying ending. Looking forward to the next book, how can they survive now?
