Undead Ultra
Author: Camille Picott
Ok, just to get this out of the way -- I love, love, love, love, love, love this series. Did I say that I love this series? I'm a big fan of zombie tales, and this one is different, creative and fun to read! Or listen to, in this case....
I read this first book in the series a couple years ago....so it was time to start over at the beginning and re-read this series! This time...I listened to the audio book. I have grown to love audio books especially for horror or monster tales....there's just something more suspenseful about having it read out loud to me. And this book was no exception -- loved this in audio format! I relived the memorable moments of this first book all over again, and the harsh moments hit harder in audio. Loved it!
The basics: Kate is an ultra runner. That means her runs are longer than marathon length (26.2 miles), and sometimes up to 100 miles. Her long time family friend, Frederico is too. They've been through a lot together...and are destined to go through a lot more. While on a run together through the country side, northern California turns into a wild, dangerous place. A virus starts turning people into crazed zombies. Roads are impassible, not only because of zombies...but also crazy, bad people. Frederico's daughter lives miles away....and Kate's son is 200+ miles away at college. How do ultrarunners save their kids during the zombie apocalypse?? They come running.....literally.
The audio book version of this story is just short of 12 hours long and is narrated by Gwendolyn Druyor. Druyor does an awesome job of voice acting!! She reads at a nice, steady pace and voices the characters perfectly. Great listening experience!
You don't have to be a running enthusiast to enjoy this series......just a zombie apocalypse fan.
