Survivors take refuge on a Mediterranean island as a zombie plague ravages the world in this apocalyptic thriller perfect for fans of HBO's The Last of Us.

By the time the classified report is leaked to the public, it's already too late. A horrifying pandemic has begun to spread, with ferocious speed, from Paris to the rest of Europe. The infected masses die quickly . . . but they don't remain dead for long.

As military forces are overpowered by the horde of undead, civilization as we know it is pushed to the breaking point. Those who remain uninfected rush the ports, hoping to escape the bloodthirsty beasts, desperate for some safe harbor.

Fleeing Barcelona, a lone survivor makes the perilous journey to Mallorca. Once a vacationer's paradise, the island is now the last refuge of a small but resilient community, and they welcome the newcomer with open arms. But the pristine, secluded landscape belies the dangers they face—from both the infected and one another.

Originally published in German and available for the first time in English, The Stranded combines dystopian science fiction and thrilling action in a tense tale of survival at all costs.

I thought this was a good zombie apocalypse story, I liked the different European accents and the back story for the character's, the second book should be great.

The narration is so stilted - with pauses at weird moments and some mispronounced words - that I was surprised to learn that it wasn’t AI. It really affected the story.

I liked that it is set in Spain rather than the US, but not much happens and the structure is quite odd.

Some of the plotting is also just silly. For example, Franca’s reason for going to Barcelona is ridiculous and unbelievable under the circumstances. I also thought it unlikely that Pedro and his family would be completely forgotten about and nobody would think about finding them.

I might have listened to the next in the series if it was an included download, but will not be wasting a credit on it.
