Summary

The outbreak began in New York. Within days it spread throughout the world. No one is safe from the undead.

As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized, and martial law, curfews and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the United Kingdom were to be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast and the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic.

For George Tull and the other residents of the Waverly-Price Retirement Home, walking to the coast is not an option. Abandoned by the staff, they wait for rescue. It doesn't come. When George leaves the illusory security of the home and ventures into the nearby village, he finds it deserted. But he is not alone; his unhappy retirement is broken by the undead. George is left with a terrible choice: stay and fight to save the people he loathes or leave and abandon the woman he has come to love.

Elderly zombies! Cool.

What did you like most about Surviving the Evacuation, Book 0.5: Zombies vs. the Living Dead?

This is only a short story (but it is part of an amazing series). I love that this series is set in the UK. This story is about a zombie outbreak in an old peoples home.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that some of the elderly people were not afraid to get stuck in and deal with the zombies.

Which character – as performed by Tim Bruce – was your favourite?

Tim Bruce is really good at narrating the different characters in the story.

Any additional comments?

I would reccommend this story to anyone, even if you haven't listened to zombie stories before. I promise once you have listened to this you will want to listen to the whole series (currently 8 stories in total!).

Short but sweet

I loved this intro book but I was expecting it to be much longer and to tell more of the story- only 90 mins and left us on a big cliff hanger.

pointless

Ridiculous waste of money time and effort!!! I thought I'd give this series a second chance as I'd purchased the first book a year or so ago. the book was free with kindle and the audio was £2.99. I thought, why not, let's give it another chance.. . absolute drivel, the prequel was even worse! Don't bother... if I could give it minus ☆ I would!
