Resumen del Editor

Joe doesn't care about politics, or what happened. The grid is down, and every day is a struggle to survive. He just knows his world went to Hell when the EMPs ended life as he knew it. Joe scrambled to hide from all of the craziness, but kept his sanity, and improved his lot in life by reading some witty survival notes that his dead grandma had left him. She'd been a prepper all her life, and she had been close to Joe.

Joe grows and learns, but can he survive?

Listen to American Apocalypse Box Set, which includes books one through four of this survival series, to find out how a regular guy survives in a post-apocalyptic world.

Why Negative Reviews

Ha ha, I almost didn't get this book because of the negative reviews. I did it anyways and I am glad I did. First, it is a good story. It's not the best story I have heard but it kept my attention. I finished it in 4 days, two days of driving and it kept me awake. It's very hard to find a good story today, I have over 300 audiobooks and this as far as the story goes would be in the top 10 to 20%. The mechanics of telling it were a little awkward at times but it kept my attention. Cussing was very limited, maybe just a handful of F*** for all 21 hours. Kevin Pierce is always AWESOME! Sarah Morsey plays the deceased grandmother so when Joe reads a letter it is her voice.

This is about an ordinary guy Joe who inherits money and land from his grandmother and then an EMP causes society to collapse. It has great struggles, heroes, villains, and love stories mixed in.

About the negative reviews. Let's face it, people, there is evil in the world, and if or when the restraint of laws and enforcement collapse, the sky is the limit to the evil that will be unleashed. Hitler did what he wanted to the Jews because no one stopped him, he had little to no restraint. Just think of a world with law and order one day and a free-for-all the next. So, a 12 to 13-year-old girl likes a boy older than her? Go back in history and this was not uncommon. I think the author handled this okay. You can't apply today's laws and norms to a world full of chaos. Also, in this world of chaos men and women need each other and depend on each other and their communities. The book has men protecting women and women wanting protection but also some of the main women in the book are just as capable of defending and fighting as the men. I don't see the problem but I am from an older generation, snowflakes and other like-minded people will probably hate this book.

Ignore the bad reviews

The bad reviews you’re seeing are from the Lefties who think it would be rainbows and butterflies when shtf. Their biggest concern is what pronouns you use for them and coincidentally they’ll be the first go. It’s a good book, good story and a somewhat accurate description of how society will devolve.

Books 1 & 2 Amazing Book 3 not so much

I like AJ Newman’s books, especially this series.

Book 3 seemed very rushed and did not meet expectations nor did it have the usual details surrounding critical events and incidents. Book 3 seemed like a gloss over of several battles and was a disappointment.

Love it could not stop

Great story packed with valuable perspective & wisdom excellent narration going to Coles series next and looking forward

Great series

This is my first book with this author. I couldn't stop listening. Definitely easy to recommend!

pretty good!

great story overall and loved that it was based on oregon. BUT...

there are no grizzlies in oregon!

awesome

i live everything about this book. action, sex, and the apocalypse! what more would your average JOE want

Pretty good series

Believable story and believable characters but I think the story could do with more internal dialogue describing feelings and environment. That would be more relatable.

I was beginning to get a little tired with the women are used as slaves and bartering but that just might end up how it would be so I don't think I can criticize that too much.

Good series and worth a read.

Good casual listening

Good listen has some slow moments and some plot diversions that are just disappointing left behinds

A very good listen!

I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone interested in this subject, there are plenty of interesting details.
