Publisher's summary

Five-books-in-one complete box set! From the USA Today best-selling author, Amazon all-star award winner, and top 10 sci-fi writer of The Last War, Dark Days of the After, These Times of Abandon, and Population Zero comes a high-concept, adrenaline-fueled post-apocalyptic survival thriller like no other....

If the grid goes down and all hell breaks loose, will you have what it takes to survive?

A family breaking apart, a missing girl, the worst attack in American history…

.…how do you survive the collapse when you have already hit rock bottom?

When a sudden, unexplained spasm of violence rocks the country from coast to coast, several groups of survivors are left to wonder if this is the start of a new world war, or the last chapter of humanity itself.

Are humans in their final days?

The EMP has officially crippled the nation and her infrastructure sits in ruin. Can a burned-out DEA agent, a Guatemalan-born cartel daughter, and an estranged brother find their way back to their families, or will they succumb to the perils of a nation in steep decline?

Also available individually in paperback and Kindle editions.

The Complete Age of Embers is a no-holds-barred post-apocalyptic adventure series chronicling a nationwide descent into a powerless world. Although this series is written in the Last War universe, and characters from each series overlap, the two sagas can be enjoyed independent of each other.

• The Age of Embers
• The Age of Hysteria

Note: This series contains the kind of strong violence and adult situations you would expect in an end-times event. Listener discretion advised.

Kevin for the win

I love listening to Kevin. His narration is always point on.

The series was good. Finally able to listen to a set the took two weekends of work.
The sci-fi aspect through me off a bit. But I greatly enjoyed the rest.

Not a bedtime story!!!

I found this series when I searched for books narrated by Kevin Pierce. As always he did not disappoint!
The story was interesting as it didn’t start off like most post “event” books. It introduced the characters in their actual life with a lot of detail.
Once the party started it was pretty much non-stop action throughout.
I appreciated the author telling the story from many angles and going over the incidents from the point of view of the different characters. So you actually get the incident told more than once.
There are a LOT of characters in this series and it is a long series. For just one credit it is a steal!
Pay attention to the knowledge nuggets thrown in there.
I should mention that it does get real dark and twisted. As mentioned, this is not a bedtime story!
Sit back, hold on and enjoy the ride! 🤙

Great story and performance.

great storyline really enjoyed reading the book the performance was excellent the storyline was excellent.

A Twist on Survival

I enjoyed this listen very much. it was one those stories you just have to keep going to find out what happens. Another reviewer has called the author a pervert and this almost stopped me. BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE. While some of descriptions were a little excessive, this is still a great series.

Loved it.

Great books. Laughed and cried. Just what a good book should make you do. Very good. And I don’t like AI content. I almost returned it when I realized it was about AI. But because I like apocalyptic content I kept listening and I’m glad I did.

Don't listen to the naysayers

what can you say about a world gone to s***? you can't expect people to play nice especially when some of the hardest most stubborn people actually survive over the soft people of the world. I can't even honestly remember any rape scenes, this was a fantastic book series do not pass up on it!

WOW!!!!

This book pulls at you, holds you in place, draws in your attention and makes you demand more. It makes you hate that it has to end but gives you the relief of conclusion.

This book is a must

Possibly the best written post-apocalyptic book I’ve listened to!! The story line is great and well written.

Excellent but Brutal

This is an excellent series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Where some in this genre are cardboard and formulaic, this author did a fantastic job at providing surprise, depth and emotion to the story and all of the characters. Really a great job and I was invested until the last word. Kevin Pierce as always did a great job narrating this tale. He really is the voice of the apocalypse. The only caution is this one may be more brutal than the others but suck it up buttercup, this is the end of the world.

Great story, lots of details

Amazing how the author keeps you wanting to keep reading! So many intricacies, details, emotions and bravery. Very realistic story. Love the narrator too!!
