Prepper's Apocalypse - Prepper Post-Apocalyptic Survival Fiction - Prepper's Apocalypse, Book 1

EMP blasts started the apocalypse during Tom and his family's return flight to San Francisco from Hawaii. Surviving the crash only caused them to confront the chaos of the apocalypse head-on. Their fellow survivors were helpless and lacked the skills to survive. Tom, his sister, and their grandma survive the perilous trip from San Francisco to their ranch in Southern Oregon using their prepper skills to keep them alive during the anarchy around them.

OK story... if you plan on all 3 books

Pretty much the same as his The Day America Died series.

A few too many WILD stories in this one..... same goes for Book 2 & 3.

If you haven't read PATRIOTS, by James Wesley Rawles, go listen to that for a really good prepper story (even though it's not an EMP)

Just like all the other prepper apocalyptic stories.

Family that has the knowledge and methods of buying lots of pepper stuff , check. Place to head to if TSHF, check. A little bit of lovin. Check. A gang that breaks out of prison, check.

Is AJ Neumann a Woman or a Young Man?

The authors attempts at making strong female characters falls short. The women are still emotional and irrational as one would typically find in this genre but then they are also overbearing and opinionated instead strong. The men are spineless and unseasoned. All of this is accentuated by the narrators character voice choices. Killing off characters rather than allowing them to grow as one would expect them to do in dire situations is a questionable plot development choice. Finally the fact that the characters are continually striving to pair off in what is a dangerous long term situation is tragic story telling. People do not look to find some one to marry off to while staving off hunger and fighting renegades. Think of Maslov’s hierarchy of needs.

This is strictly a 3.5 star book. The bones are good but the editor should have done their job in properly steering the author better. It is only two hairs better than Grace Hamilton’s harlequin romance style of prepper fiction. And that is only because this author demonstrates some actual knowledge about the subject matter.

As a woman I admit my bias is coloured. I guess I just mourn the deterioration of this genre into pump and dump formulaic and unoriginal writing. Seriously though, ok read. Not a waste of money but disappointing on many levels.

EMP with a twist

I liked the vacation twist in this series, it gave it a little something different than the norm.

Great storyline

I am fascinated with apocalypse books especially with the COVID-19 virus being so new in the past year. I love listening to these types of books.
The author has a well thought out book and it is fascinating to understand how people think when they are prepper’s. Yes I do know it is fiction but it’s very intriguing and interesting to me. This story has action, suspense, intrigue, mystery, and romance. It’s about people trying to survive in a world that has gone to shit, or hell in a hand basket. The author has a way of writing a story that captures your attention and tell me to buckle up baby because we are just getting started.
The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters and the voices of each character making it easy to distinguish between the characters. I would not mind listening to more audiobook narrated by this narrator.
I definitely recommend this audiobook to everyone over 18 years old.
