Breaking Point

A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

De: Harley Tate

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A devastating earthquake. A fractured heartland. A family torn apart.

Cassidy Mason laughs with her classmates on a Kentucky school bus, twisting through backcountry roads. In an instant, the pavement cracks like glass, and the bus tumbles into a ravine. Buried in twisted steel and screams, she claws through agony and fear, forcing herself to emerge into an unknown disaster where safety might not exist.

Will Mason grips the wheel of his Ohio River tugboat, calling orders to his crew as another routine shift begins. But when the water heaves like a beast awakened, the river churns into chaos. He beaches the battered vessel amid splintering docks and rising wreckage, but with no radio signal and the world in ruins, one desperate urge consumes him: reach his wife and daughter before it's too late.

Erin Mason herds excited students through a hotel lobby on a field trip, her mind half on lesson plans. Suddenly, the floor bucks, walls groan, and ceilings rain down in deadly chunks. Amid the dust and cries of the trapped teens, she battles to shield them from the collapsing city, all while terror grips her. Has the quake claimed her family hundreds of miles away?

With bridges collapsed, power vanished, and aftershocks threatening more destruction, it's a brutal race to safety. Will, Cassidy, and Erin Mason must unearth raw strength to claw through the apocalypse and reunite, or die trying.

Breaking Point is book one in a post-apocalyptic disaster thriller series following ordinary people struggling to survive when a massive earthquake rips through the heart of America.

Virtual Narration warning

Difficult to follow storyline with odd, unnatural inflections and without conversational flow. One of my favorite authors but would think twice about purchasing another title with this type of narration. Not worth the listen.

The characters were easy to follow, but I do have to say I had difficulty finishing it.
