    About this audiobook

    Where can you go when the dead are everywhere? Cities have become overrun with legions of the dead, all of them intent on destroying what's left of the living. Trapped inside a fortified skyscraper, a handful of survivors prepare to make their last stand against an unstoppable, undying enemy. With every hour their chances diminish and their numbers dwindle, while the numbers of the dead can only rise. Because sooner or later, everything dies. And then it comes back, ready to kill.

    Brian Keene

    BRIAN KEENE is the author of over forty books. His novel, THE RISING, is often credited (along with Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic and Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later film) with inspiring pop culture's current interest in zombies. Keene has also written for media properties such as DOCTOR WHO, THE X-FILES, HELLBOY, and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. Several of Keene's works have been developed for film. He has won numerous awards and honors, including the World Horror Grand Master award, two Bram Stoker awards, and a recognition from Whiteman A.F.B. (home of the B-2 Stealth Bomber) for his outreach to U.S. troops serving both overseas and abroad. He lives in rural Pennsylvania.

      A good read, but really depressing. Our survivors from book one are on the run from the zombies, but survival does not look good. Realistic ending, but rough. Characters are great. I am glad that I read it though, if only to have resolution from the Rising.
    • 3/5
      *SPOILER ALERT*This was a pretty good book. I am not one to think every book has to have a happy ending, but to have every major character die in the last 5 pages is a bit much. Especially after reading about them for 2 books.
    • 3/5
      While I described the first book in the series as a “good corny”, this book took a few scenes from the “bad corny” handbook. The book continues the story of Jim Thurmond and his search for his son. The story contains the same main characters, and adds a few more. The core story is still there, and if you liked the first book you will like the second book. However, while the first book hung on to a somewhat respectable read…this one does not. I feel like Keene simply banged out a second book after the success of the first. The discussion scenes are horrendous, but the detail is still there. If you read the first one, just keep on trucking to the second. Don’t expect the same type of read though.
    • 4/5
      This book was a powerhouse of action. You hardly had a moment to catch your breath in between the attacks and battles. As fun as the first one, The Rising, but even more brutal and graphic. Full of good characters fighting the good fight, and with a healthy dose of unscrupulous and mentally unstable characters alike, you never know what's going to happen next.This book picks up where The Rising left off. Jim has just made it to his son's home, and the zombies are closing in outside. The book opens at the home of his ex-wife, while you wait to learn whether or not Danny is found alive and whether they make it out alive, and it ends at the Ramsey Towers in New York, where survivors are holed up against the zombies milling around outside.One thing I should note: This book is not suitable for children. It is extremely violent, vulgar and there are many moments of graphic sexuality, including zombie sex and multiple accounts of genital mutilation. Please be forewarned.Overall a fun story, but a little sad and depressing at times.
    • 5/5
      Wow-What a thrill ride. Lots of action & Scares... and terrific characters that you learn to love. This is a great sequel to THE RISING. Loved the ending, not a false note here. I can honestly say, Keene is the new face of Horror. I can't wait to read all of his novels.
    • 4/5
      Zombies, Zombies, and more Zombies. This is the second and final book in his Zombie’s that can think for themselves series. I loved the ending….not often do you see its kind.
    • 5/5
      Brian Keene is one of my favorite authors, and this was the first novel of his that I read. I realize now that it is a sequel, but it stood up equally well as a stand alone book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good scare.
    • 5/5
      Amazing! One of my favorites!
    • 5/5
      the sequel to "the rising". while not quite as good as "the rising", it was a very enjoyable read. i would highly recommend this title to anyone who loves horror and zombies in particular.
