Publisher's summary

Exhausted. Struggling. Surviving. Resolution is the final chapter in the Alaskan Undead Apocalypse saga.

Finding the Whittier tunnel barred, separating the small city from the rest of Alaska and possibly from the undead infection, a flagging sense of hope is restored. Neil has led the dwindling band of survivors, including young Jules and Danny, through all the perils of this new world of the undead, including the relentless elements of the gathering winter season. Seeking sanctuary, Neil’s group is pursued by both the living and the dead, all yearning for their deaths. The survivors fled Anchorage and its streets teeming with flesh-eating zombies, narrowly escaping with their lives and now face dangers along Alaska’s Seward Highway which stretches southward to Seward, Alaska where it ends at the sea. Their options limited and their time running out, Neil and the others find themselves hoping against hope that Whittier has the answers. They must first find their own way into the city and then trust that the infection has not preceded them.

Resolution is the fourth and final installment in the Alaskan Undead Apocalypse series.

Great book and great narration.

The book had many twists and turns and offered new characters to be introduced that soon became as much my favorites as the old. The added characters, as well as the plight of the returning, worked well with the many plot turns and narration. A solid five out of five.

You must buy this series!!

I've listened to all of my fave authors and was waiting for the new novels. I happened to stumble on this series of books and I'm so glad I did, they are incredibly entertaining!! Buy them!! They are amazing!!

great end to a great story

mixed feelings when a series is finished. very entertaining, good story and characters. Def recommend. thanks Sean and Daniel for an awesome story and narration. hope to read more of your works in the future!

Easy and enjoyable read

Found the story easy to digest. We meet up with another group of survivors and whats cool about that is that we hear about their story from the start of the apocalypse, so its like a whole new book and story. The new group and our old friends do meet up and start doing what they have to do.

A lot of gore, killing and dying. We get to know the people who die just enough to pity them. The bad guys are portrayed in a shade of grey, manage to get depth in almost all the characters.

The narrator is just so comfortable to listen to, not over acting, just enough to sound interesting.

Good story, ending felt like an ending, but maybe more will be coming anyways? Hope so.

Best ending I could have hoped for

Of all of the zombie/apocalypse works I have listened to so far, except for Max Brooks' entry, this book has my favorite ending. While it did succumb to the "if you didn't see a body, then he ain't dead yet" trope, it did avoid another seemingly unavoidable predictable penultimate chapter. I really enjoyed this series and will be starting from book one and going through it again very soon. Bravo!!!

So Cold In Alaska

Overall, an above average zombie read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their story was more realistic than many of the others. Solid ending to the series. As with any zombie tale, listen to the sample and read the reviews to see if it’s your cup of tea.

Noooo, it's over.

When I got the first book in the series, it was a gamble that I would like it. But I loved it and so bought the next and then the next because it was so good. Now, in the fourth book, this author has still kept me riveted to the story. He refreshes the readers' minds about the first days of the Alaska infection with different point of views from several new characters. He introduces new friends (mostly those who don't know how to survive and can not accept the reality of the infection, providing a striking contrast with the main group) and now has the militia from the third book hunting them down along with a horde of the infected.
I knew when I started this book, that it was most likely going to be the last in this series. But I am still craving more from this author.

Slow to warm up, but then it's full steam ahead

Any additional comments?

One of the things I struggle with when reading multiple books by the same author is a presumed assumption that there will be connections between releases. So I went into Resolution with the hopes that I'd be whisked right back into the Alaskan Undead story and unravel in a linear fashion.

I feared it would be a reluctant read once I realized this was a mix between the original characters a fresh set of tales of the outbreak. But after a short time, I was too engrossed in the vignettes to give it much thought. There's something intriguing in the timeline, as it jumps the track of events between initial outbreak of new characters and still gives glimpses into existing ones.

One of the more successful stories for me is the tale of a cabbie whose fare was bitten prior to hailing the cab. It's tense and fast paced and provides a great amount of depth in characterization.

Another fun perspective was that of couple that met on an online dating site.

"She could guarantee an Alaskan adventure that he wouldn't forget."

Understatement of the decade!

It took me a while to realize there was indeed a connected story to be told, and that the seemingly disjointed vignettes in the beginning were to tie into a bigger story. And after about 20%, the pieces fell into place and I got into rhythm with the story.

I enjoyed the read, but in prefer the format of the first two books. What made those such a standout read was the intimate connection Schubert forged between reader and character. The predominant connection between stories is the setting, and while definitely a cool idea to set it in Alaska, I'd have liked to see the author bring it back more to the earlier story line.
