Publisher's summary

"We're about to cross the point of no return. God help us; we're flying in the dark, and we don't know where the hell we're going."

Facing down an unprecedented malevolent enemy, the government responds with a nuclear attack. America as it was is gone forever, and now every citizen - from the president of the United States to the homeless on the streets of New York City - will fight for survival.

Swan Song is Robert McCammon's prescient and shocking vision of a post-apocalyptic nation, a grand epic of terror and, ultimately, renewal.

In a wasteland born of rage and fear, populated by monstrous creatures and marauding armies, earth's last survivors have been drawn into the final battle between good and evil, that will decide the fate of humanity. They include Sister, who discovers a strange and transformative glass artifact in the destroyed Manhattan streets... Joshua Hutchins, the pro wrestler who takes refuge from the nuclear fallout at a Nebraska gas station... and Swan, a young girl possessing special powers, who travels alongside Josh to a Missouri town where healing and recovery can begin with Swan's gifts. But the ancient force behind earth's devastation is scouring the walking wounded for recruits for its relentless army, beginning with Swan herself.

a great Thriller

reads like The Stand by Stephen King only better. character stand out and you'll never forget them. several things gone with several people so it's a page-turner waiting to see what happens

Sawn is the best.

it was at times hard to get through.
good story, but a lot of cuss words.
You can't help but to love Swan..

great story! well written, really moving

I love this story of courage and determination. It's characters are alive and action is rapid and compelling. Narrator has great voice but leaves a lot to be desired in conveying "Sister's" voice. Makes her sound weak and wimpy when she's actually a very strong woman.

Best book ever

So far haven’t read a book of Robert McCammon that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed! Worth the credit !

One of my go to listens

This book is executed so well. It is similar to Thr Stand by Stephen King but this can stand on its own.

The characters are genuine. The story is brilliant. The adventure this story takes you on , is worth the ticket. Have fun!

Enthralling

Fantastic reading, easy to listen to. 45 hours of engaging story. I loved the good vs evil aspect and some of the surprises later in the book.

Great book , read it twice and heard it once

Awesome book from start to finish , definitely recommend too whoever likes long books and don’t want to end

Loved It!

This is one of the best post apocalyptic books i have ever listened too! Robert McCammon is my new favorite writer. Also the narrator is one of the best voice actors i have ever heard. I highly recommend this book!

Could not stop listening.

This is not my usual type of novel to listen to, post apocalyptic type stories. But it carried such a message of hope that is much needed during this time of the covid pandemic. Brilliantly narrated.
