The End

A Post Apocalyptic Novel

De: G. Michael Hopf

Narrado por: Joseph Morton

For Gordon Van Zandt, life was one of duty and loyalty to his country, so when 9/11 happened he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps. This youthful idealism soon vanished, one fateful day in a war torn city in Iraq. Ten years later, he is still struggling with the ghosts of his past, but must now face a new reality thrust upon him and his family.

North America, Europe, and the Far East have all suffered a devastating Super-EMP attack that has caused catastrophic damage to the power grids and all electrical devices. With nothing working, from cars to phones, and the total collapse of the economic infrastructure, Gordon must fight for limited and fast dwindling resources. He knows survival requires action and cooperation with his neighbors, but as daily life continues to break down so does all sense of civility within his community. With each passing day, Gordon makes choices that would seem extreme in today's world, but necessary in this new world.

Good, but a bit long-winded at times.

A good, if lengthy series concerning the United States during a massive EMP attack. Our civilian protagonist Gordon Van Zandt is a former Marine who leads his community in surviving the EMP and fortifying their community against looters and misfits. Our military protagonist Colonel Barone had been ordered to take his command of three ships to the east coast to aid in the protection of Washington and its survivors. Instead Colonel Barone chose mutiny and treason to lead his command back to the west coast where their families were and help those still alive rather than the dead in the face of this apocalypse. The story cycles back and forth between military and civilian plots. Barone and crew make anchor at San Diego while Gordon and family are making plans to leave same. Good, but a bit long-winded at times. Three.point.five for starters.

could not put this one down

it is very captivating, I finished it in less than three days. would recommend.

Loved

I loved this book and the characters. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in the rest of the series. G. Michael Hopf is a great author. I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author. I bought the next audiobook is this series. I would recommend this book.

The narration is excellent. The story line had some great twists.

There were just a few predictable moments and scenes but other than that it was impeccably done. I am eager for the entire series.

Awesome book!

I’m not much of a reader but this audiobook was great! The storyline so far is amazing and sounds realistic. Great narration and author (:
