Publisher's summary

If society collapsed, could you survive?

When Morgan Carter's car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: The country's power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored - if it ever will be.

An avid survivalist, Morgan takes to the road with his prepper pack on his back. During the grueling trek from Tallahassee to his home in Lake County, chaos threatens his every step but Morgan is hell-bent on getting home to his wife and daughters - and he'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Fans of James Wesley Rawles, William R. Forstchen's One Second After, and The End by G. Michael Hopf will revel in A. American's apocalyptic tale.

Featured Article: The 20 Best Survival Audiobooks for the Prepper in All of Us


Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

Good book

A little too many details but was good. I really didn't need to know how many crackers were available or how great everything tasted.

Going home

Narrator has a good voice but mispronounced several things one of them being Elgin AFB and Some abbreviations that should have been used as a word instead of spelling them out

Changed My Mind about this one!

I listened to a couple of chapters of this book and quickly judged it to be poor. In accordance with some of the other reviews, I endured and continued listening. By chapter five, I was hooked, and my attitude slowly changed. I might add that the writing seem to improve also. I ended up learning a great deal from the author, and the story proved to be very interesting, compelling and moving. It is also a bit scary, as it seems that the scenarios described in the book could actually happen.
