A global solar flare strikes destroying the power grid and stranding Riley Poole in Washington, DC.

Navigating life was already no picnic for Riley, a young widowed surgeon with a teenage daughter. Now, it will take near superhuman courage to find safe harbor in a world gone mad. With the help of a brilliant but quirky cardiologist named Coop, she must conquer her fears, traverse hundreds of miles of frozen terrain, and survive hostile confrontations to get her daughter, Julia, to safety. Will she have the strength and determination to ensure they survive?

If you like fierce heroines, emotional upheaval, and heart-pounding adventure at the end of the world, then you'll love this thrilling new saga by award-winning author E.A. Chance.

Irritating but also interesting

I haven’t finished this book yet (~2 more hours left), but I don’t think anything is really going to change (there might be a cliff hanger?).

This is your typical post apocalyptic book - many people die, main characters need to survive in an urban and rural environment, and there are nasty evil humans. Battle with morality before and after event. The characters are REALLY annoying though (especially the main female character). At the beginning of the book Riley seems like this very competent, caring mother (she’s a surgeon after all), but Riley would have gotten her and her daughter killed if they hadn’t met Coop. Riley is the type of character who is way too nice for a post apocalyptic world - helps people without caution, very much against sacrificing her morality to save her family, etc - a recipe for disaster in a world with nasty, selfish humans. I wish Riley wasn’t set up to be this altruistic mother since her actions throughout the book really beg to differ. I dont want to be too hard on Riley since it can be easy to really hound on women, but Riley is incredibly self centered and childish. How can her 13 year old daughter respond to death 1000% better than her? Really infuriates me that Coop was a better parent to Julia than was Riley (hence why coop is pretty much the only reason they have survived so far). On the other hand, I do like how untraditional of a post apocalyptic heroine Riley is. I can see so many people acting like this in this scenario and I think Riley’s actions and thought process speak louder than anything - you really shouldn’t be like this in a post apocalyptic world unless you want to get you and your family killed (or worse). Something can also be said that kindness does help sometimes; sometimes saving the right people will save you in the end.

I’ve read many post apocalyptic books. This isn’t the best (the characters really do it in for me), but it isn’t the worst. Definitely glad it’s included in audible since I would be very angry that I spent money on it. Not sure if I’ll continue onto the next book… depends on what happens in the last two hours.

A very empty world

Lots of unnecessary medical blah blah blah in a world that is oddly empty at the end of the world.

Loved This Book

I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. It was hard to put down.

easy listening

Although the lead had a tendency to annoy me, I did enjoy this book. The narrator did a great job.

Solar fury

As Post apocalyptic Stories go This 1 has characters Easy To love
Adventure edge of your seat kind. just unbelievable but the idea
of post apocalyptic life is unbelievable as well nice ending not sure
I can go on to the next book right now but when I listen to books
the Characters are crap I will pick up the next book to be. sure

Book version of a chick flick

The only reason I finished book was because I was trapped in a car and like a bad movie, I had to finish it.

A really not very smart apocalypse experience

This was a free first of series book. I’m not interested in going on. Way too many mistakes and drama to survive and the same old clean out the grocery store survival tactics. I suppose it might be inspirational for people who suffer from panic attacks.

Highly recommend

A very well written story to listen to. Anxious to get started on book #2. Will definitely recommend this book.

I’ve rarely been so happy to finish a book

It was so hard to root for the main characters in this book. They were their own worst enemies. The only consistent part of the story was that the main character would always make the wrong decision, and that everything would always go wrong.

moderate at best post-apocalyptic

This is a decent story but very simple post-apocalyptic not a lot of science behind it definitely not one of my favorites but something to listen to in between other books
