About this listen

Mike and his family escaped a vast zombie horde to find themselves imprisoned by a clandestine group that seeks global domination by the most nefarious means possible. Help is coming, in the form of a 500-year-old PopTart loving vampire named Tommy. Will he be enough to get the Talbots to freedom or will he succumb to monsters new and old? On top of all this Mike discovers that he is in the crosshairs of an ancient enemy and it is only a matter of time until the final showdown.

Great story, as usual.

The struggle of Mike and the team continues. Yes Eliza is dead, but their troubles aren't over, not by a long shot.

Mark Tufo continues to keep me entertained with this Talbot journey.

Once again an enjoyable episode, dark humour along with a great easy listening story. Roll on Mike Talbot, there's mileage in this series yet.
Cheers

Awesome!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the entire series to any of my friends. It has everything a zombie book should have! Suspense, terror, excitement and a fabulous sense of humour that lightens the darkest moments!

What did you like best about this story?

Everything about it. I've listened to the whole series so far and never get tired of it.

What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Sean Runnette is my favourite narrator. He brings the humour in the books to life, can't imagine anyone else performing these books.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Loved it all.

Any additional comments?

Can't wit for ZF9 to come to audible!

5 Stars as Always but far from best ZF

What did you like best about this story?

I loved Tripp and BT their humour is amazing

Have you listened to any of Sean Runnette’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Sean is an amazing narrator.... simples

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but listened to it once and thought eh..... ok so i listened to it again.

Any additional comments?

Mark Tufo is an amazing writer, brilliant, I don't think this is the best ZF by a long way, however still 5 stars as miles better than other writers. In the stories Mike Talbot has great humour a great part of the book but the humour only works with the correct characters around him and this book he was mainly with Tommy and Deneaux. Normally when listening to ZF i just burst out laughing and not once did i laugh out loud with Mike chapters but i did with Tripp and BT i did still. Deneaux killed Paul and caused other issues etc that Mike would have killed others for so did not really get that either. Not the greatest ZF but still 100% worth getting a touch below perfect still better than the rest :)

Mike or trip. Because I know people that are like them lol

What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He helps a bit with the sarcastic dialog and the different voices

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There where a few parts that had me nearly laughing out loud at 3am while my partner was asleep next to me

Another enjoyable zombie romp

I love the Zombie Fallout series, this instalment didn't fail to entertain! Packed with Zombies, old threats and new Michael and Tommy have way more than just the walking dead to contend with.
