Resumen del Editor

America was on the brink of collapse.
The fabric of society was torn apart.
The economy was in shambles.
Ordinary Americans experienced death by a thousand cuts, and it was coming soon to your neighborhood.

International bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, delivers up-all-night thrillers to nearly two million listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

“Akart is one of those very rare authors who makes things so visceral, so real, that you experience what he writes.”

In a once-thriving neighborhood, prosperity and harmony were the norm. Families walked the tree-lined streets, children played in the parks, and a sense of community bound residents together. However, over time, this changed. Political beliefs divided them. Economic collapse struck the nation bringing with it an inevitable and devastating societal collapse.

“You are there. Feeling what they feel. Anger, joy, love, mourning. You feel it all. Not everyone can write a book like this. It takes a special writer to make you feel a book.”

Behind the gates separating the community from the rest of greater Los Angeles, neighbors faced off against one another as resources became scarce. Beyond the gates, ruthless gangs and looters swept across LA like a plague of locusts. Killing and looting replaced the rule of law.

Some held out hope in the government to restore order. Others banded together to prepare for the inevitable. When terror and mayhem came knocking at their doors. Despair and fear cast long shadows over the once-vibrant community. Could the neighbors set aside their differences to ward off the coming storm?

"Akart's fiction becomes reality far too often. Behind the Gates is a cautionary tale of what's to come in our nation."

With seventy novels published worldwide, Bobby Akart delivers intense, up-all-night thrillers that have you whispering "just one more chapter".

The story is entertaining as well as informative for these current days

Seems like it ends all too soon ! And need to move to the next book in the series!

Excellent storyline and relationships

Realistic storylines, much of which is actually happening. I wish I had waited for book 3 to be released to start listening so I could binge listen to them all!

Don’t have too much time gotta go PREP

Scary realistic story as to what many of us fear the most. The character development rivals Grisham.

Great Story!

Great Story. Excellent reader. My only complaint is his books are too short. Book 1 and 2 could have been combined. I'm a big fan of TSHTF fiction. Most of them start with "The Big Disaster" in the first few pages. This story unwinds gradually, from realizing things are going to get bad, to preparing and experiencing as it goes from bad to worse to ....... (I'm not there yet). I finished book 1 and 2 in one day. Each book ends with a cliffhanger. By far one of Bobby Akart's best novels. I highly recommend it!

Good, but

This was not my favorite BA story BUT I will read the next chapter. Though thorough in introducing the characters, I feel Book 1 drug on a bit long. I am a huge BA fan and believe the next installation will pick up the pace!!!

Gripping!!!

Once again, Mr. Akart has delivered a thriller that gets your mind racing about the possibilities. Every one of his books has been amazing. When most people think post-apocalyptic thrillers, they think zombies and mad Max, but every time Mr. Akart puts a book out it is a book that could 100% happen in the near future. Thank you for writing these amazing books and please keep them coming as they are truly thought-provoking. 

details

the planing and how things work if this should happen, and it could, based on how the world happens

Always great

Love Bobby’s work. There are always the little things that may not be completely accurate due to necessity of remaining vague, but he is one of the most accurate writers of this genre that I know. Keep up the great work Bobby!

Excellent

Not surprising another Akart book is good. Shocked.. not. He has a real skill in making sure that we understand how jacked up our state governments are and how bad our federal government is. If no one is using these novels as a way to identify potential societal dangers in the future, you definitely need to adjust your mindset.

Prepared

I was slowly drawn into this book. I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but the characters kept my interest. Now I can’t wait to find out what happens next. This would be great for someone unsure about the state of affairs right now and how to prepare for them. I recommend reading this book!
