Autumn: The London Trilogy

The Complete Post-Apocalyptic Epic

By: David Moody

Narrated by: Aubrey Parsons

The world is dead

Two months ago, billions of people were killed by a deadly germ. Days later, they rose again in massive numbers. Since then, cities worldwide have become corpse-filled, rat-infested, germ-choked hellholes.

A group of people are trapped in central London, hopelessly outnumbered by the dead.

They hear rumors of a safe haven in the north—a self-sufficient community where people from across the country have gathered to try and rebuild their lives. But the decaying ruins of the capital are vast and sprawling, and they’re going to need an army to get away from this place.

There are other people here, waiting in the shadows to be found. Can enough of them band together to make a difference, or has the country—maybe even the entire world—already been lost to the dead?

This special edition contains all three novels in the series (Autumn: Dawn, Autumn: Inferno, and Autumn: Exodus) along with seven brand new short stories.

Critic reviews

"David Moody's Autumn: Dawn breathes new life into my favorite undead series." (Craig Dilouie, author of Episode Thirteen)

“The best survival horror since Richard Matheson's I am Legend.” (Wayne Simmons, author of Flu)

British Trauma With Zombies

I have not read the earlier Autum books (the ‘london trilogy’ seems to serve as books 7-9 as a sequel series to the original six). I understand the series to be a sort of artistic intellectual horror sometimes the focus on mundane everyday sacrifice that might be more relatable with emphasis on characters/humanity, the introspective terror of the people. Here these themes seem to continue with a new group in a new place (same world but I didn’t see a lot of obvious need to read earlier books for continuity; apparently this runs parallel with Autum [first book]) where there are two clusters of survivors separated by distance and given the zombie horde that isolation and separation is much magnified. The book accomplishes these themes by featuring a varying cast of different characters and perspectives that can sometimes feel fragmented but comes together to illuminate a social order. This is a story of people and not zombies; about anxiety and uncertainty in forms more than teeth gnashing – the inner struggle. The pace picks up well by the second book included in this collection and even after all three books the ending felt a little abrupt maybe due to a connection to the world after the length of these books. Narrator Aubrey Parsons has a charming engaging British accent spot on for the Autumn London content and his reading feels immersive.

Amazing story

Amazing story. Love the narrators voice. Super great plot line and I love the bundle package

Finally, a zombie series with zombies that FELT LIKE ZOMBIES!

this has been a fantastic series. what a breath of fresh air! it's so good to read about zombies that are more akin to the original George Romero Zombies, where they are written as a force of nature, a tidal wave of the dead, rather than sprinting, well formed corpses! slow-crawling, unstoppable hordes of zombies really are the best for setting an oppressive mood and world. this series was so bleak, oppressive and believable! From the weather that was it's own problem to the to the characters, I loved it all. I will be telling all my friends about it.

Predictable

Story was decent but predictable ending. Was hoping for a different ending but was okay. Hater trilogy has better twist and turns. This book left me hoping for more story surprises. The book was a meh.

Great addition to the Autumn universe.

Great story and a great addition to the original Autumn books. I read the Autumn books years ago so it was nice to revisit this universe again. Narration was good but a bit too monotone for my taste. Overall it was pretty good and I look forward to picking up more work by David Moody again.
