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.

Awesome listen.

Kept me entertained. Interesting conspiracy scenario. Character developement was perfect, I didnt feel overwhelmed or uninformed.

Best Post-Apocolyptic Book I've Listened to so Far

This series is probably the best that I've listened to so far. The characters are great and their "growth" is also really good. There is a bit of out-of-place optimism surrounding the situations that develop within the story, but I can overlook it due to the overall storyline.
Again.....a great book with some good information.

fantastic book!

Kept me on the edge of my seat threw out the whole book. The narrator was exceptional in this book.

Great Read

This was a great read and the narrator did a good job. It also keeps the old brain ticking wondering "what would I do?" and I think you find real value with that question in this genre. Definitely worth the time.

Great story , no zombies

Really enjoy this series of books. Great story and look for books read by Duke

Great survivalist pointers

Very realistic when it comes to emp related attacks. And the hardships that will come

Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

The plot is good (not perfect, but good enough to make this a very good start to a series. For example, I was so engaged that bought the second book while I was still going through the first one) the characters are well defined and their archs are good. This book was clearly written by a prepper who has made a very good transition into literature. At the beginning of the book you will have an "information dump" on gear and equipment, but after that, the story takes off, the book's Universe is really absorbing. At times, some scenes lack verisimilitude (For example, I don't know why the character is so good at certain things, so I attributed it the stereotype of a dedicated prepper), but I believe that as the author hones his craft, the books will just keep getting better (I also expect this structurally-wise)

The narration is very good (sometimes the cuts and edits can be perceived but only because I also edit sound) in addition, at rare occasions, the narrator will misuse the voices for each character, but it didn't bother me. I overall liked the narration

Solid Book - Make Better Character Choices

Good book. I didn’t like how the book portrayed the black characters as less intelligent, or how the narrator made black characters sound when they spoke. No black person I know sounds/talks like that.

Otherwise, a good book that covers the situations and planning one must contemplate in the event of an EMP attack. Even a short trip by car can create the most dire of situations if one strikes while away from home.

Persevere!

a little slow starting, but really enjoyed it. going to purchase the next one in this series

great narrator engaging story
