About this listen

As a prepper, Grayson Rowan was prepared for almost anything.

...anything other than being totally alone when the sh*t hits the fan.

While he sat back and watched the United States rattle swords with Korea, play chicken with Russia, and strong-arm China, he felt sure if the lights went out that he and his family would be ready and safe - whether it was due to a natural disaster or a man-made event. They had everything they needed at their homestead.

What he wasn't prepared for was his family not being home if it ever happened.

Olivia Rowan is with her sisters, Gabby and Emma, on a girls-only trip to Myrtle Beach. When chaos erupts and there's no gas, their journey home is a nightmare, filled with predators and danger - and apparently, Olivia hadn't learned a thing her husband tried to teach her.

When your neighbors run out of water and turn on each other, what will you do?

Jake, a country boy mechanic, never believed in TEOTWAWKI, but he'd heard his brother-in-law preach about it many times. He knew what to do, but he didn't prepare. He lazily left it all up to Grayson - he was the prepper after all. When catastrophe strikes, will he continue to keep his head stuck in the sand while his clueless neighbors destroy each other, and his wife is stuck out on the road, or will he stand up and fight like a man?

And if you're alone? Bug in or bug out?

Graysie Rowan, a freshman at university, just wants to go home. When no word comes from the government, and the state capital is overrun with looters, chaos, and mayhem, the college administration puts the students on lockdown. But her dad, Grayson, had prepared her for this. Now, if she can only remember what it was he said to do....

If they want to survive this post-apocalyptic event, they'll all have to learn to fight like a man.

The way the point of view changes from chapter to chapter and often stops at a pivotal moment keeps you hooked and wanting to know what happens to each character next.
The main characters are relatable and I've really started to care about them.
I am on the second book 'Shoot like a girl' now and have the rest on my wishlist. I fully expect to listen to each back to back.
Im a huge survival series fan and this is my favourite 'apocalyptic' series so far, topping even the TWD side stories in my opinion.

I enjoyed this book, although it had me a bit confused, this seemed to the worst ever prepared family of 'preppers' no-one seemed to listen to patriarch Grayson, and Olivia was clueless, Gabby seemed to be the only other serious member of the family. I can't wait to see where the series will go, Kevin Piercer's narration was flawless. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

An entertaining read

First off I have to say that I received a free copy of this book as part of a promotion. I am leaving this review entirely voluntarily.

I have read / listened to many post-apocalyptic books, and it's not often I listen to a book in pretty much one straight session. But I couldn't stop with this book, I couldn't "put it down" as I would say if I had read it. I just had to know what was going to happen to each of the characters next.

I was initially struck by the details regarding "prepping", which is ongoing throughout the book. I really enjoyed this, and was interested by some of the solutions, which I would never have thought of.

The characters in the book are very interesting, and diverse. They are well written and each character is developing nicely and I can't wait to get to know them better in book 2, Shoot Like A Girl.

I will say that I don't really enjoy it when a chapter ends with sentences like "if only they knew what they were coming up against next" and other such leading statements. Of course something else is going to happen, otherwise it would be the end of the book. But that's only my personal opinion and its really a small niggle in an otherwise very enjoyable story. My only other bugbear is the mention of a particular president, its almost like the author wanted us to know his views, so he put those into one of the main characters. Neither of these are important enough to deduct a star, given the outstanding quality of the book overall.

I'm going to get stuck into book 2 next, I really hope it will continue in the same vein as this first book and offer me a great listen.

OH! One last thing - the narrator is EXCELLENT it almost feels like he's been with the characters and taken notes on each of them. Every character is distinguishable in their dialogue, and he sets the scenes and atmosphere perfectly.

Not your average EOTWAWKI. Scarily realistic!

This book is well worth a listen. It kept me engaged throughout with a storyline that makes you think about what could happen and how you can prepare for it.

Brilliant series

This is a bit short but great fun. There are obvious bad guys on motorbikes, stupid red necks, but also some useful tips and some surprisingly taboo subjects covered.

This is fun!

Nobody wants to hear about the dumbest president in the history of the USA.
Real turn off.

The author lacks the intellect to realise that the apocalyptic state he's describing is Trump's fault.
