The German zombie apocalypse series. Now in English.
In Germany the series reached 4,000+ readers and 1,500+ reviews on Amazon.de, averaging 4.6 stars. Three books of relentless survival, real characters, and a city consumed by the infected. Read free on Kindle Unlimited.
Missed lectures. Cold coffee. Headlines on your phone. Then the first reports: bite attacks in German cities. Hospitals overwhelmed. Numbers that explode overnight.
Within days, the military is on the streets. Shoot-to-kill orders. Infected that feel no pain and don't stop running. And in the middle of it all — a student who was thinking about his future yesterday, and today can only think about one thing: staying alive.
Together with his closest friends, he fights his way through a Cologne he no longer recognizes. Streets of chaos, nights of fear, and decisions where there is no right answer.
For fans of The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, and World War Z — told from the streets of a European city, in first person, in real time.

One of the strongest zombie debuts in years
For me, this is one of the best new entries in the endzeit and zombie genre. Gripping from page one, with characters that feel painfully real. I hope this series goes on for a long time.

Gripping, realistic, and surprisingly emotional
An intense, cinematic novel that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last. Perfect for fans of survival stories with depth and atmosphere.

Realistic, no kitsch
A really good zombie novel from Germany. Realistic, without kitsch or exaggeration. Characters you care about because they're just normal people. A must for fans of the genre.

Couldn't put it down
Read this book in what felt like one sitting. The tension never lets up, you root for the characters, and the whole thing feels disturbingly close to reality.

Ben Friedhof
A lifelong reader of everything zombie, apocalypse, and survival. When I realized there were almost no atmospheric, seriously written zombie novels set in Germany, I wrote one. That it reached over 4,000 readers in Germany still overwhelms me. The LYRV-27 series is now available in English for the first time.
