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.

Entertaining

Did enjoy! Somewhat unrealistic but entertaining non the less. I did however like the cast and have listened to the whole series before. My wife tells me I'm crazy because I have a get home bag.

Great story but lots of language.

Great story. Listened to the audio while working around the house. My son and daughter wanted to listen, but to much bad language. The language used I'm sure made it more realistic but it does limit the audience. I like stories that make you think. It was a bit hard to follow when it switched between characters and I think a better job could have been done with that. But over all a good story.

Awesome book!

Awesome book! A tiny bit “dry” at times but always kept me eager to keep listening. I just purchased the next book in the series! I love books like this bc I can only handle so much of this “out there” books that use 10 adjectives per sentence... lol

GREAT STORY LINE AND CHARACTERS

as someone who actively searches for all survival genre twice or more a month, this one is a score. A great story and delivery was well done. The only critique I have is that I often found myself confused when the narrative switched from one groups story to the next and to the next. No clear break in between. one second I was with the main character, the next sentence starts with someone else's story. kept rewinding to make sure I heard it correctly. other than that, I'll get every installment I can as I really enjoyed this book. check it out. thumbs up

like it

the book started out strong but closer to the end it was getting harder to differentiate the different characters he was talking about nice construction that storyline keeps you in there with the story can't wait to get the second books
