Summary

Like a brick at a birthday cake.

Shoreham Port in Brighton, England, has been secured by Adrian Ring alongside his friends, with the five navy ships that made the trans-Atlantic voyage to find the European Trinity. He must find the Soul, the Scribe, and the Warden and get them on their path, as he walk his, but there are obstacles.

The undead in Europe are faster and stronger than anything they’ve encountered, and the survivors here are hungry, and desperate for help. They can’t fight every zombie, but each one they pass could be a lethal threat to their own people, or to the locals who’ve fought hard to survive.

Luckily, he encounters a small, well-armed group of car-equipped survivors, led by a friendly man calling himself Chief, who dwarfs even the burly Adrian. They decide to work together to procure ground vehicles for the march north.
But Chief isn’t the savior he’s pretending to be, and there are far more monsters roaming in the dark of the old world than Adrian is prepared to face.

Dead Cities contains Adrian’s journal entries from September 9th, 2014 through November 27th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions The Ghost in the Boiler Room, Rachel and Mara, Fetters, Sanctuary, and Ernest Goes for a Walk.

Adrian’s undead diary

Love this series but no doubt a long wait until next book. Find it strange having a different narrator for this book.

Brilliant!

Took a little getting used to the new narrator, but soon settled in to it! I did find that the voice put on for Abby made her sound like a" ditzy blonde" stereotype, instead of the tough, strong woman she is!
But yet again, fabulous writing, cannot wait for the next instalment!

Great continuation.

Great continuation of the story, with new and interesting supernatural twists that add a different, darker edge to Adrian's apocalypse.

DJ does a good job of the narration and in the tricky situation of picking up part way through a series that's had an established narrator for so long.

I feel like it's a moral duty though to mention that the narrator change was beyond the author's control, as Foster chose to exit the series through no fault of Chris. So those I've seen on US audible getting their knickers in a twist and crying foul and giving 1 harsh star based on a narrator change without bothering to get any context as to why that change happened, maybe actually check Chris' social media pages and you'd have seen Foster left the series months ago, which is why the audio was such a gap after print and ebook release. He's been pretty open about it. This wasn't Chris just deciding to change on a whim. He can't magically say "Hey James, no you can't leave because some entitled people will cry foul without bothering to find out why and just throw 1star at the book because they're having a sulk."
Some people. That's just low.

I mean... the narrator's name was on the book... you could have pressed the sample button first to decide whether it was for you or not.

loved it!

really enjoyed this book! not sure about the narrator but probably because he's new. it didn't detract from the action and the characters old and new.

Adrian's poop

lots of poop and cock references- made me smile. loved the narration. Some English voices are spot on, still struggled to listen to the more "cockney" voices. but good job in all. Great storyline- bring on 13

If it ain't broke don't fix it.......

Should have left the story in America with the original narator, we followed our Adrian and the our characters through their journey 11 books, then to try and the word is try to replace him with someone completely different doesn't work. paid for however not listening to the last books, what a shame.

new narrator, ruined.

this series was struggling along as felt new characters were just not likable and throw away.
The change in narrator really took me out of the story and didn't really convey any emotion and made it very dull. oh the accents were horrific!!
