About this listen

The hit Commune Series is back with book five! Rejoin some of your old favorites and plenty of unforgettable new ones on another deadly romp through post-apocalyptic America.

Books and Bug are polar opposites, despite their friendship. Rumors on the road speak of a hospital in Washington D.C. Leading a small group of survivors, including pregnant women, the two travel in earnest to provide the soon-to-be mothers a safe place to deliver.

Bug, a natural, charismatic leader, refuses to leave anyone behind while the other, Books, is a pragmatic social outsider who wishes not to be responsible for the safety of others. Together, they're exactly what this group needs to survive.

But DC isn't exactly the safehaven they hoped for, having been divided into three major factions: the Mall—which is controlled by a man named Knox and his lieutenants—Columbia Heights to the north, and Anacostia to the south.

On arrival, Books immediately recognizes that the people of the Mall are in a wartime posture. Uncomfortable with the idea of being pulled into someone else's war, he advises that the entire company should depart. Bug, upon realizing that the Mall is wonderfully organized with hydro-electric power, security, and a functioning hospital, refuses that advice, stating that it is more than fair that they should help their new benefactors defend their adopted territory.

Can their bond endure their conflicting points of view or will they be drawn against each other, and into a war that will consume everyone...leaving DC in Ashes?

Brilliant!

I thought the Commune series was over so this was a pleasant surprise when released. And…..it was fantastic. Everything we’ve come to expect. Look forward to Book 6. FYI…this isn’t a continuation of the original series but an expansion of the universe. RC Bray awesome as always.

Amazing book

Absolutely loved it and couldn't stop listening. Devon Ford and Josh Gayou are two of the best authors out there. Bray is brilliant as always.

As good as ever

a tour de force of good characterisation and world building . I loved.this just as much as the other commune books and whilst it may feature new characters (although there is a welcome return of some too) it remains every bit a commune novel

The Best Universe in the Genre

Read the first 4 commune books? this is the start of a new series in the same universe! if you loved the previous 4 then you'll love this one if you're not already following the authors on social media you won't regret looking them up. you'll feel like part of a bugger family.

RC Bray. he's like the Barry White of narration can't do a bad performance.

Thanks for an excellent listen, and Joshua if you read this specific review I'd appreciate a shout out on SDFTSB Charlie English.

another fantastic addition

don't be deterred by the fact none of the original cast are in here because it will be a big mistake, if like me you were hoping for this story to be about some of the people from the bowl worry not. This is a great intro to some amazing new characters which even though have only had one book to be fleshed out they're written in such a way that I am already dying to know more about them as I was with jake. Two of the best writers combine in a epic tale of waring factions and I still couldn't tell where one stopped writing and the other began they gel so well, Do yourself a favour and use the credit or buy the book, you'll not be disappointed
