Rebuilt in a Day

Surviving the Evacuation, Book 18

De: Frank Tayell

Narrado por: Tim Bruce

It took three weeks to destroy civilisation. It won’t be rebuilt in a day. A year after the outbreak, a sharp winter is followed by a sudden thaw. Spring has come early to Nova Scotia, bringing new hope. For the 13,000 survivors who’ve found sanctuary in northern Canada, and for the first time since the apocalypse, extinction isn’t imminent. But it looms large in the near future, a legacy of the nuclear war that destroyed civilisation.

As the weather improves, some survivors quit the small community. Even more plan their departure. The old-world supplies of food, oil, and ammunition have been consumed. More will have to be grown, drilled, and made. Medicine, paper, clothes: in a few years there will be none left to salvage. If it can’t be manufactured, it will have to be forgone. What knowledge can’t be preserved will be lost.

Humanity’s future appears bleak unless more people can be found. Hoping there is some truth in the rumours of a redoubt in Vancouver, an expedition to the Pacific is launched. The journey will be perilous as North America was ground zero for the outbreak, and for the nuclear war.

Set in Canada and beyond, as survivors from the Atlantic and Pacific meet. Please note, this audiobook includes heroes and villains, places and events from the Pacific-based series, Life Goes On, Books 1-3.

Slow moving story

I love this series but not this book. This book was mostly filler. Filled with Bills thoughts on everything and that is getting old. There’s very little action and too much of Bill stumbling, limping, tripping and fumbling his way across Canada while thinking of the future with very little getting resolved. It’s just a 14 hour set up for the next book.

I skipped part 3 of the story and went on to finish the rest of the book before going back to listen to part 3 and am so glad I did. Part 3 has nothing to do with the story as a whole, it just tells you what happened to a different character months before. That’s something I’d recommend to everyone who buys this.
