A World Unprepared

An EMP Survival story

De: Connor Mccoy

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

An EMP shrouds the world. Fear and uncertainty fuel chaos. Humanity is no more. Mike McCall has always felt like an outsider. He’s always felt the pull of a life in the wilderness, closer to nature, without the excess of modern life. The only emotional ties he has are to his brother, and his future sister-in-law. After a fun night takes an unexpected turn for the worse, an apocalyptic event changes the course of his life and the lives of everyone in the world. As an EMP blankets the city in darkness and gives way to paranoia, Mike sits in a busy ER, where emotions are running high, desperation grows, and there’s little in the way of authority. With no clear direction from the government and no viable options for survival, Mike finds himself as one of the few who has the skills to try, but will he succeed as society erodes around him?

It could be more of a story and not just send it around the hospital failure to do in pee peppers ideas overall score one just because it's not enough of the story

Awful. Badly written. Stupid storyline.

From the first chapter: guy gets badly cut, far from aid, loses consciousness from blood loss. His brother who is the outdoorsman, is ‘widely read’ on living a natural life thinks “hmm. I should put on a tourniquet. But does he? NOPE.
If only the brother had bled out then and there I would have been a much happier reader.
Did this author do any fact checking? Any research? It seems he just put inane twists and turns into the plot so the puffed up hero could stand up to the boring baddies.
While none of us know how an EMP would really play out I think I am right in thinking that after an event it would not take four or five or ten hours for the wounded to show up at the only hospital in a ‘major’ city.
Never is the impact of the EMP given and description, impact or verisimilitude. The lights go out, the cell phones do t work and that’s it. The EMP is basically never alluded to again.
I got more and more infuriated as I forced myself to keep listening.
In the last chapter. Major crisis point when life saving pills are lost when the GLASS bottle they are in is dropped. Dude, plastic bottles were being used in the 1960’s!!!!
Do not bother with this drivel.
