I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this series when I read it. I came across the box set in Audible and was excited to get all 9 books for 1 credit. Phil Thron IS Zed. He reads the sarcastic tones perfectly. Bobby Adair has written a great version of the Zombie world. Get this box set. You will NOT be disappointed.
Before the virus, Zed was a bit of an underachiever. He finds his mother ( the Harpy) on the floor in her house being devoured by his Step-father(the Ogre) then he gets bitten as he fights his step father to get him off his mother. Waking 2 days later starts him off in a world he strangely is suited for. Part human and part Other, he is a target of the Normals who want to kill hm and the Whites who want to eat him. Hooking up with Murphy, he starts off into the new world, just trying to stay alive and in the process becoming Null Spot the Destroyer.
