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.

I’ve enjoyed this series each time I’ve listened through it.

The characters are very relatable, the storyline is believable and keeps me entertained.

I would definitely recommend and have plenty of times.

I hope this becomes a movie

Probably the best series of books I have ever had the pleasure of reading! The author catches my attention from the start and the characters are relatable and yet so very unique! I hope this series never ends! I love every character! I keep listening to all ten books until a new one is made! I have nothing negative to say about this series! I urge everyone to check them out for themselves!

Great Story.

Well balanced as far as making the action and the doom scenario seem very believable.

I'm impressed

I've read several series of apocalypse stories. This is one of the best. I couldn't put it down. The people are likable. They have personalities you can relate to. The story is believable. Unlike some, it's not 100 percent stress with nothing but fighting and gore. I loved it. On to the next.
