About this listen

World War Z: The Complete Edition (Movie Tie-in Edition): An Oral History of the Zombie War is a new version of Max Brooks' episodic zombie novel. The abridged versions of the original stories are now joined with new, unabridged recordings of the episodes that were not included in the original (abridged) version of the audiobook. These additional episodes feature a star-studded cast of narrators to coincide with the upcoming release of the film.

New narrators include Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, Spiderman star Alfred Molina, The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont, rapper Common, Firefly star Nathan Fillion, Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg, and members of the casts of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes and more! Max Brooks will be reprising his role as The Interviewer.
The original abridged edition, released in 2006, won an Audie Award for Best Multi-Voiced Performance. Original cast members include Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Carl & Rob Reiner, and John Turturro.

In this new classic of apocalyptic fiction that feels all too real, the Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. The documentary-style oral history records the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time.

Featuring five more hours of previously unrecorded content, this full-cast recording is read by F. Murray Abraham, Alan Alda, René Auberjonois, Becky Ann Baker, Dennis Boutsikaris, Bruce Boxleitner, Max Brooks, Nicki Clyne, Common, Denise Crosby, Frank Darabont, Dean Edwards, Mark Hamill, Nathan Fillion, Maz Jobrani, Frank Kamai, Michelle Kholos, John McElroy, Ade M’Cormack, Alfred Molina, Parminder Nagra, Ajay Naidu, Masi Oka, Steve Park, Kal Penn, Simon Pegg, Jürgen Prochnow, Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner, Henry Rollins, Jeri Ryan, Jay O. Sanders, Martin Scorsese, Paul Sorvino, David Ogden Stiers, Brian Tee, John Turturro, Eamonn Walker, Ric Young, and Waleed Zuaiter.

A collection of incredible performances by an amazing cast which brings this series of survivors' stories to life! The book is engrossing already but this audiobook adds another layer of richness to the story. Amazing how many familiar voices are in the cast. This is the version of World War Z to get!

One of the best audiobooks

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it! Equally as good is the Zombie Survival Guide also by Max Brooks. Encore!!

Best audio book ever!

overall very good, unusual style and most of the story segments work very well. A couple of standouts, Common, Mark Hamill, Rob Reiner but a couple were a real slog and nearly derailed the whole experience!
on occasions I almost just quit listening.
I'm glad I didnt, as I say overall it was a good story and those stand out segments really were excellent, Recommended.

very good but...

Brilliant!

I read the book years ago, loved it. I especially liked, “The World at War” take on a hypothetical zombie war. Very well written and researched, a lot of factual background information which really sets the overall scene. This is interlaced with the personal, emotional stories which get the reader invested. The audiobook is superb, the cast as good as what you would expect. Some to the individual stories seem more harrowing in the audiobook. Between the movie and this, the audiobook stands out by far as the best. This is, in many ways, the way the movie should have been told. Brilliant.

If only the movie had been this good
