For Readers

New to the world? Here's where to start.

Where do I start?▾

Start with the free prequel novella, The First Death, then jump straight into Book One of The Zombie Fall of Britain — No One Dies Once. The prequel is a short, self-contained introduction; the novel is where the fall really begins.

Do I need to read in order?▾

Yes. Each book picks up the next chapter of the collapse, so the story builds best read in sequence. The Books in Order page lays out the full reading order for every series.

Are the two series connected?▾

The Zombie Fall of Britain and The Fordsham Chronicles are set in the same outbreak and the same falling nation. You can read either first, but together they tell the wider story of how Britain was lost.

“A gripping, relentless zombie story with heart, family and real terror. I couldn't put it down.”
