    Couverture de Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Return to Woodbury

    Description

    In this riveting, “gory, and action-packed” (Jonathan Maberry) survival thriller, set in the expansive world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead series, three people from different walks of life in China must join forces against the typhoon of undead as chaos sweeps over Asia. 

    In the aftermath of the zombie virus outbreak, what remains of the Chinese government has estimated that one billion walkers (called jiangshi) are currently roaming through the country. Across this dramatic landscape, large groups of survivors have clustered together for safety in villages and towns that have been built vertically as a means of protection against the unceasing wave of jiangshi.

    In one of these settlements, scavengers of vastly different backgrounds struggle to provide supplies for the survival of thousands. Before this devastation, Zhu was one of millions of poor farmers who left their rural roots for the promise of consistent employment in one of China’s booming factory towns. Ella was a Chinese American grad student who was studying abroad for the semester. Hengyen was a grizzled military officer of some renown and a passionate believer in his nation’s ability to surmount any obstacle.

    Zhu, as the leader of the team Ella is a part of, reports to Hengyen. But with the settlement’s 5,000 mouths to feed and the scavengers having to travel further and further in search of food, Zhu ends up at his home village, where he is shocked to find survivors. Does he force them to join the settlement or keep their existence a secret?

    Meanwhile, Hengyen is tasked with the impossible: fortifying the Beacon against a 100,000-strong “typhoon” of walkers header their way. Even though he realizes that the Beacon hardly stands a chance, Hengyen is a believer and will stand with his compatriots to the very last, bringing him into conflict with Zhu, who intends to flee the path of the typhoon and make for the safety of China’s dramatic mountain ranges before it’s too late. 

    Given “two decaying thumbs up,” (Jonathan Mayberry, author of Rot & Ruin), this book is sure to get your heart racing and leave you wanting more!

    Hard to Finish

    I love TWD universe and this book was not good. Slow and characters were not redeeming.

    Foriegn Exchange Sweethearts In Hell

    This *might* have made a good short story. As a novel, it could have possibly been "OK" if an actual EDITOR had redlined American Pop Culture slang like "Monologuing." This book really falls apart in the last chapters. There are serious continuity issues with the narration. As long as the characters are fighting zombies it doesn't matter... when they are doing anything else they are a group of College Age Adults with absolutely no adult emotions or drives or desires stuck in a sterile, sanitized cartoon of Mao's China. The setting in China was the only reason I bought this book. There was SO MUCH that could be done with the Walking Dead world in China. It wasn't even interesting (the setting) after the first couple chapters. *** One guy has air conditioning.... I consider that a flaw. *** *** At one point, the female lead character goes off and is comforted by reading her King James Bible she brought from America. I can't remember if this is before or after she murders monks. This subject is never mentioned again. I consider this a flaw. *** Both of those flaws could have been redlined and removed in a re-write. I just can't write a review without pointing these two issues out. Someone should have told the author NO.

    If you like precocious children (that is how the main characters appear) who kill without batting an eye but have no sexual urges... If you like these kids fighting zombies and living in metal shipping containers in China... If you like a narration point of view that uses American slang and stilted prose mixed with some words of Mandarin Chinese.... If you don't mind that the word Cantonese was never used in the entire book... No drugs, no sex, virtually no adult language, no sexual situations, and virtually no mention of alcohol. If it were not for the zombies, it would be a pretty nice world. If you like all that, then this book is for you.

    QUESTIONS: Does this mean I just read a book for Young Adults? Does that mean I waited for and then bought with anticipation a book written for a 13 year old? If so, was that not made clear? Why sell a product to the wrong audience and have it returned? When did Simon and Shuster start publishing stuff like this? I thought they had editors.

    first book in the series I've read..

    and I really enjoyed this! I'm so glad they are expanding on the WD world. This story, completely original, really stands up against his other work. I really look forward to more books outside the main comic storyline.

    An amazing journey

    So much is done right in this book! The atmosphere is great. The situations are nerve wracking, and the story is phenomenal! I love the different plot points that interconnect and the race towards time against the typhoon makes the reader at the edge of your seat! Overall really good!

    Pretty good

    If you like the walking dead, it's worth it. Not super exciting but I work 10 hour shifts and it kept me entertained the entire time so pretty, pretty good.

    A welcome escape back to my favorite world

    I listened to this book over three or four days. I love that it was the mythos Robert Cartman set up at its foundation, so understanding what could and couldn't be done about the walkers was already ingrained. Knowing what little I do about China as a government, and maybe a little more about the high value of loyalty it's people hold, built a really interesting setting for the story. The American student from Texas really brought the world's together.

    I enjoyed the narration, and I enjoyed that the Chinese words were spoken authentically, and the English spoken by the Chinese people also sounded authentic. The narrator even managed to get some true Texan out of that character.

    I'll be looking for more titles that take place in this world I already feel at home in!

    Love it. Change of pace from gun heavy zombie stuf

    I liked the focus on a society where guns aren't as common place as they are in many USA zombie settings. More stuff like this would be good!!

    Had to take a break halfway through as I was kinda burnt out from zombies. Came back and loved most of the book!

    The setting in China was a great idea. Melee focused combat was good. Voice actor was great and gave different voices for characters. Story reached a pretty decent ending.


    I had difficulty with the Chinese names, references to geography, and fully understanding there mindset. I was putting my perspective as a USA citizen on the story when these characters live in a very different environment and government. Understanding this made the story much better for me.

    One thing I did hate was the trope of "miscommunication" or "no communication". I hate how that trope drove the plot and felt they could have gotten to the end game in a different and better way. This trope made me really dislike one of the main characters which I really enjoyed.

    Other than that, if you like zombies, give this a shot!

    Good, but not great

    I enjoyed this listen, and the plot moved right along, but it fell short of great. Was interesting to see Kirkman's world in another nation. Action was good and characters were okay. Ultimately, I was entertained.

    The ending was different just to be different!

    I feel like the entire book was fantastic but, I feel like Wesley Chu wrote the ending to be different than what we expected it to be and it didn't work in my eyes. it's warring with me because on one hand it was a good ending but I just feel like it was cheap.
