Awesome

Awesome entry in the Savaged Earth series. As with the others very well written story with top notch narration.

Can you go home? Would it be a dream or nightmare?

A little over a year ago I listened to the first three books in the Surrender the Sun series and got sidetracked from listening to the last two books in the series by competing obligations. Today I was offered a choice of an audiobook review copy by A.R. Shaw, and my first choice was the fourth book in the Surrender the Sun series. Luckily, a copy was available.

Once I loaded the book into my library I couldn’t resist listening and put everything else aside for the afternoon. I immersed myself in the post-apocalyptic frozen world where Ben, Bishop, Jax and the rest of the community exist. Even with the prolonged delay in following the story I found myself immediately drawn back into the Colorado community and each of the characters’ lives like there had been no delay. While this story is not wall-to-wall action, there is plenty of action and intrigue to keep the listener/reader engaged. There are also plenty of interpersonal stories going on that build a sense of anticipation and drive the story forward to its conclusion. Based on my enjoyment of my afternoon’s entertainment, I doubt it will be another year before I listen to or read Feral Earth or Rough Earth, the final books in the series. Along with an excellent storyline, Jordan Gibbs narration brought each character to life and made listening to the story an excellent experience. I will be looking at more stories Jordan has narrated once I finish this series.

great series

i can hardly wait for next one I Luke how it's written..
..and the reader also..

Great Story, poor narration

Enjoyed the story but the narration was infantile so I half listened through the story and would listen to the book again but I don’t think I could handle one more round of being read too as if I was ten years old.

A little disappointed.

Felt a little phoned in compared to the other books in the series. For example, there did not seem as much good character building for the new characters as when new characters were introduced in previous books. The story felt rushed.
