About this listen

Jack Miller isn't too worried about the apocalypse. He has been prepping for a few years and has a basement stocked with the food and supplies his family needs to ride out a disaster. Today though, he is out of town on a business trip. An EMP strike delivered by a rogue nation leaves him stranded over a thousand miles away from his home. This is the last place he expected to be during a disaster. He sets out on an epic journey home armed only with his know-how and survival skills. What he encounters leaves him questioning how prepared any lone man can be.

Amy Miller is all set to enjoy a well-deserved vacation day. She's a hard-working mother of two with a full-time career and rarely has a quiet moment to herself. The EMP throws a wrench in the works and leaves her unprepared for the chaos to follow. With the city falling down around her ears, she is pushed to the limit. Her suburban home is well-stocked with supplies, but she clings to the hope that order will be restored.

Faced with the darker side of humanity, will she overcome her inhibitions and do whatever it takes to protect her family?

Contains mature themes.

Much more realistic than some other Apocalyptic novels. With an interesting plot and engaging characters. I was hooked from start to finish. I want to read the rest of the series.

It was okay but it wasn’t brilliant would have been better as a complete story instead of a Series. Worth listening to.

It’s believable

Overall I found this audiobook interesting enough to continue to the end, although I found the narrator's voice & delivery very off-putting, almost to the point of giving up after just a short while.
Also, some lazy clichéd writing and some stereotyping of characters,and several frankly unbelievable scenarios - for instance, an elderly persons' care home apparently running pretty much as normal despite the apocalyptic condition of the rest of the country; and Our Hero managing to follow, find, ambush and single-handedly dispatch the two thugs who had previously mugged and beaten him to a pulp, leaving him unconscious.
However, as I said, I hung in and finished. Would I be interested enough to continue with the next parts of the series? maybe - but not immediately,and I don't think it'd bother me if not at all.

decent enough story, but...
