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.

Absolutely hooked

I loved the book. It was the perfect balance of action and suspense, for me. The narrator was excellent. He tells the story very well. I highly recommend it, if you have any proclivity for prepping or survival.

Phenomenal!

So freaking well written. This book literally made me rethink and upgrade my every day carry pack. I can't even tell you how ready I am to read through every single book in this series. Eberlestock is going to get so much of my money.

Great survivalist read

One of the most engaging audiobooks I've listen to in a very long while. While the writing style and grammatical choices aren't anything to be wow'd by, the story and characters are believable and entertaining. From start to finish I was always curious what was to happen next. If you're a prepper, bug out enthusiast, or someone who enjoys survival stories- This book and series should be on the top of your listening/reading list!

Fun book to listen to.

I really enjoyed this book. It was read well with a good amount of voice. The storyline was interesting. The lead character was believable in the situations were, in my opinion, realist.

Gripping

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Very well told story about a very real potential threat. Whether an EMP or a solar flair, the writer did his homework and the story is VERY accurate.
