When the walking dead fill the streets, who can cheat death? Who can survive?
Featuring a zombie outbreak that devastates Denver, an indecisive adulterer, and a series of violent, disturbing, and perhaps even heart-rending events of the sort you'd expect when the dead rise up to eat the living, Cheating, Death is a roller-coaster ride through a horror show both of death and of the heart.
Cheating, Death is the fourth glimpse of the storybook universe first seen in Lost and Not Found, and gives a detailed look at the zombie outbreak that put the events of Forget What You Can't Remember in motion. Listen to one for fun, then read and/or listen to them all to get the rest of the story.

Customer Reviews
Not bad.
Nice job reading. Now I need to find the rest of the series.
Heartwrenching story
Very well read, but I really hated the story line. no such thing as a ray of hope here. downer after downer.
Wrap up
Really enjoyed this wrap up to the series. Teel tied all the open plot points together from the other novels very well. Sad to see what happened to some of the characters but thats life..all fairy tales don't end happy..sometimes they are somber. Again I must say from a previous review..keep an open mind people. Not everything has to make perfect sense...not everything has to fit into a neat little box you can call reality. Some worlds don't have boundries..thats why its called fiction..plain and simple.
