About this listen

Like a brick at a birthday cake.

Shoreham Port in Brighton, England, has been secured by Adrian Ring alongside his friends, with the five navy ships that made the trans-Atlantic voyage to find the European Trinity. He must find the Soul, the Scribe, and the Warden and get them on their path, as he walk his, but there are obstacles.

The undead in Europe are faster and stronger than anything they’ve encountered, and the survivors here are hungry, and desperate for help. They can’t fight every zombie, but each one they pass could be a lethal threat to their own people, or to the locals who’ve fought hard to survive.

Luckily, he encounters a small, well-armed group of car-equipped survivors, led by a friendly man calling himself Chief, who dwarfs even the burly Adrian. They decide to work together to procure ground vehicles for the march north.
But Chief isn’t the savior he’s pretending to be, and there are far more monsters roaming in the dark of the old world than Adrian is prepared to face.

Dead Cities contains Adrian’s journal entries from September 9th, 2014 through November 27th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions The Ghost in the Boiler Room, Rachel and Mara, Fetters, Sanctuary, and Ernest Goes for a Walk.

Unhappy in the AUD universe

After 11 books and developing a relationship with the character Adrian, a stranger shows up in a world he’s never been apart of. I’m greatly disappointed with the change up. This narrator sounds like he’s just gotten into college, when the character is a late thirties military man.

Bring back James “FN” Foster. He brought Adrian to life, he intrigued me with the story. I’ve listened to 6 hrs of DJ and still don’t know what’s going on.

Ugh, betray the fans!

Going down

Least favorite in the series so far. Like everyone else has mentioned the new narrator doesn’t match. He’s not a bad narrator, but he doesn’t match the character. He ruined several otherwise funny jokes by his poor delivery. Most of the female characters especially Abby sound like stereotypical gay college boys. Adrian sounds more like a frat boy than the leader he is.
The story’s not bad, just nothing groundbreaking.

Narrator hurts it overall

The difference between this Narrator and the ones from the previous books in the series is night and day. Adrian’s character suffered along with the story line due to a narrator that is not knowledgeable about items described in the novel. Military jargon was robotic and clearly showed the narrator was not versed in its meaning. Narrator may be great at other types of stories but not those containing military type phrases or acronyms

Great addition to Adrian's undead diary

You have done it again Mr. Philbrook. As usual I absolutely love this book and the new narrator is quite good as well

Change in narrator’s.

Didn’t enjoy as much of the previous books. Used to the narrator from first 12 books. Just not the same.

HAPPILY SUPRISED

I was prepared to hate the narrator change, so I waited a long time before I listened. I did not feel any ill will against DJ. He was great and the story went smoothly on. But I waited too long and was having a hard time remembering who the characters were. As the book went on, Chris filled in the info for me. Good book and will continue with the series.

Listened twice

I’ve listened to the book twice just to give DJ a fair shake. I’m really trying not to compare him to James but it’s hard. His take on Adrian is just…..off. He sounds like he’s reading instead of being, if that makes sense. Now him as Tommy sounded more like what Adrian should sound like. I understand that changing voice actors mid series always throws it off but DJ just didn’t do this book any justice. I do love the story and the progression of the story. I just can’t get behind DJ

Same great story - terrible narration!

Hard to change narrators on book 11 but that was a killer for me. The “voices” are amateurish and all the female characters sound like 80s bimbos.
Not sure if I can do book 12 after that - hard enough to finish this session :(

Not the same!

The original narrator was perfect. He was the voice of Adrian. Now having a new on its just not the same.
