Publisher's summary

When they killed his family, they killed a part of him too. The good part.

Seven years after a global war has devastated mankind, Frank Brogan and his family live in the safety of New Haven, a newly-formed authoritarian state deep in the American northwest. Beyond the Exclusion Wall lies the Outzone, a lawless territory ceded from federal jurisdiction. Brogan never thought he would go there. He was wrong.

When three Outzone bandits cross into New Haven and murder his wife and daughter, Brogan quits his specially-trained police unit to hunt them down. Entering the Outzone, he travels to its de facto capital, Winter's Edge, and picks up the bandit's trail. In a violent city controlled by rival gangs, he needs to use all his hard-won skills as a police officer and war veteran to survive.

It isn't long before Brogan's quest takes him out of the city and deeper into the territory, where a beautiful but dangerous woman takes a keen interest in him. Can he survive encounters with the nomadic tribes that roam the Outzone's mountains and plains to finally confront the men who murdered his family?

A solid PA read

Let me be honest - I am one of those readers that expects an author to grab me by the seat of my pants from the get. This one didn't initially. At the end of the 1st chapter I thought to myself, "Hmm, gonna have to listen to this whole book, since I got it in exchange for a honest review, sigh". Good thing I was wrong. Didn't take long at all before I was into the story and listened to it non-stop. Furthermore, I was upset when I was done with the book and immediately went to Audible so that I could purchase Book 2. Book 2 isn't out yet. Mr. Sheridan - if you see this, could you speed it up please?

In summary - This book is worth buying, worth reading/listening to and I enjoyed it immensely and I highly recommend.

How soon can I expect book 2?

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

this is a great dystopian based novel without zombies or plague and a ton of excitement. Riveting story line that you do not want to stop listening, even if it is 4am

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I would buy more software if they guaranteed that Kevin Pierce was reading the software purchase agreement. He could make a listing of toilet manufacturing companies sound interesting.

Any additional comments?

You will have no regrets if you buy this book.

A Great Listen

Once again Kevin Pierce does a nice job of narrating the book. This book is about the trials and tribulations of someone who leaves a place of safety in order to help him mend his past. It is very well read, has a solid plot, and does not go beyond believability. I recommend this book if you love SHTF and adventure stories.

I Thoroughly Enjoyed This Audiobook

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

Absolutely. This is a well written story, with a great narrator. A winning combination.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Winter's Edge?

Even the least memorable moments somehow work their way back into the story, becoming a key piece of the puzzle.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Kevin Pierce never fails to deliver a stellar performance.

Any additional comments?

The book ends rather abruptly. Kind of a, "Wait? What? Our Eight Hours are up already?" and leaves you with questions. Questions like "But... But... What happened to the little Mexican Kid at the Bus Station? What about the pretty blond girl? And... Did our hero catch a nasty disease from that hooker in the hotel room that he doesn't know about yet?

I guess I'll have to listen to Book Two to find out...

Mike Sims

It started out a little slow, however from there on it rocked. And of course Kevin Pierce makes it incredible.

Can't wait for book 2

Mixed bag

Would you be willing to try another book from Mike Sheridan? Why or why not?

Yes. This book was good enough to continue with the series

Any additional comments?

I could have done without the farming stuff. It sort of broke up the flow. The beat down scene with Brogan was intense. Kevin as always did an excellent job narrating.

HBO series quality

Would you listen to Winter's Edge again? Why?

Most definitely. I have listened to many post apocalypse novels and have really enjoyed the ingenuity and creativity of most of the writers. However this one has a story line that really sticks out. Its character development isn't any better than others I've listened too but the story line has you hanging on and wanting more. I really think this one could easily be an HBO series.

What did you like best about this story?

I think what I liked best and is so frustrating, is that I really can't wait for the next one to come out. I have felt that way about others but this saga of novelty and excitement creates an appetite that is hard to just set on the shelf till the author decides to come out with the next volume.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Kevin Pierce is the standard. He never lets you down

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I almost did.

A Nice Apocalyptic Story

This is a post-apocalyptic book written after the world has been destroyed, something I think we all see coming. The book is a well written book by what I understand is a first time author, which says a lot. The author knows how to write a compelling story and plot, and get the reader engaged.

Many books I have listened to or read lately seem to follow multiple persons around, and it gets incredibly confusing. Winter's Edge does not do this and follows a main protagonist throughout the book, I find this very helpful for myself.

The book is a part of an unfinished series, which I think will likely become a very interesting series to finish.

Frank Brogan wants revenge, don't get in his way!!

After a global war devastates the world, Frank Brogan lives within the safety of New Haven. When his family is killed on a trip in the out zone, Brogan goes after revenge. Leaving the safety of New Haven he ventures outside to the lawless zone to track the three killers down. This is a good story and the start of what promises to be a good series.

Kevin Pierce delivers a very good performance, as usual, and keeps the story moving a long nicely.
