Why Listen?

Nick Podehl's intense, almost feral delivery transforms this zombie survival story into something genuinely claustrophobic—you're trapped inside Finn's paranoia as much as he's trapped by the virus ticking in his veins.

About This Audiobook

In a world ravaged by zombie plague, young Finnegan bears the mark of the infected—a tattooed plus sign identifying him as someone who could turn at any moment. With the virus lying dormant in his system, he faces two more years of uncertainty before learning whether he'll transform into a mindless monster or achieve immunity at twenty-one. When a military transport meant to deliver him safely to a containment facility comes under attack, Finn finds himself alone and hunted across a shattered American landscape where the living pose threats as deadly as the undead.

Nick Podehl delivers a masterful performance that captures both Finn's youthful vulnerability and growing determination as he navigates this treacherous post-apocalyptic world. His vocal range brings distinct life to the diverse cast of survivors, villains, and authority figures Finn encounters, while maintaining the story's relentless momentum through quieter character moments and pulse-pounding action sequences alike. Podehl's pacing allows listeners to feel the constant tension of Finn's precarious situation, making every encounter feel immediate and dangerous. The audio format intensifies the horror elements while highlighting the human drama at the story's core.
