The Age of Exodus

The Age of Embers Series, Book 4

De: Ryan Schow

Narrado por: Kevin Pierce

The much anticipated fourth book in the highly acclaimed Age of Embers series is here! Brace yourself for the next blistering installment of this post-apocalyptic adventure series by best-selling author Ryan Schow! The Age of Exodus is perfect for fans of Matthew Mather, Jack Hunt, Mike Kraus, Boyd Craven, Kyla Stone, and James Hunt.

Two thousand miles of hell lie ahead...

Tragedy has claimed its pound of flesh from the Chicago survivors. Homeless, low on supplies, and struggling to find weapons, the group weighs the dangers of squatting in Chicago against the merits of reuniting with Rock in California. No matter the choice they make, the weeks and months ahead will exact a devastating toll.

The measurement of such losses will be incalculable. Some will make it. Others will make their final stand. But who will they become along the way? And what will they risk for each other when all hell finally breaks loose?

The Age of Exodus is an emotional roller-coaster ride with plenty of peaks and valleys, a few shocking twists, a handful of well-timed laughs, and all-but-guaranteed loss of sleep. Before you head out with our survivors on the adventure of a lifetime, grab some caffeine, find a quiet place to listen, sit down, and hold on because the ride is about to get bumpy!

Please note: The Age of Embers Series can be listened to as a stand-alone series or in addition to The Last War Series. Both of these series are written in the same universe on the same timeline and some characters will overlap, especially in the series finale The Age of Defiance.

Gets dark

The series is good. Gets dark though. I think it captures a significant possibility of how humanity may behave. It’s not far fetched aside from the AI aspect but the way humanity is behaving, it’s possible... great book. On to the last.

The closest story to a real event

this has all the pieces of the way people would act. the normalcy bias would get people caught in the old ways. And life would be cut short. that's the kindest way to put it.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL

This is by far thee best book of the first four books written so far. This book is is gripping and will keep ahold of you from the first page until the very last.
As always, great work done by narrator Kevin Pierce!

Never have I loved a book that’s made me so angry

I was listening to this on a road trip and had to pull over to write this review.

Narration: Kevin Pierce is nicknamed The Voice of the Apocalypse for a reason. He’s fantastic as always, and I could listen to him read the phone book. I’m so glad he was chosen to read this series.

The story: Mr. Schow is officially off my Christmas card list with this book. His books are gritty, and most certainly not fairy tales that leave you feeling happy.
However, if S ever does HTF, what he describes is more realistic than 95% of the other post-apoc books out there. He doesn’t sugar coat, he doesn’t leave you with a sense of well-being. He slaps you square in the face with a dose of reality, and he doesn’t check his blow.
As I’ve traveled along with the Dimas family, they’ve become my family. I have fought and cried and struggled and mourned with them as they battle their way through their new world.
Schow has a way of pulling you into his stories, of painting such vivid scenes that you can picture it all as it happens. His characters are human, they find strength they didn’t know they had, they falter and break down and they make stupid mistakes, just like the majority of us will if ever faced with a reality like he’s created. Yet they find the will to keep moving forward. He also shows us how far you might be pushed when faced with the choices of either giving up and dying, or refusing to go down and fighting to survive against all odds.
I appreciate this book because it’s made me think about whether I’m prepared to go the lengths they did to survive. The answer I found is, yes. I am.

I highly recommend this series.

So, Mr. Ryan Schow, I look forward to book 5, but I’m still mad at you right now.

WOW

Best book in the series. Had some very interesting parts. I can’t say much that wont spoil it, but the last 1.5 hrs just WOW! Can’t wait to hear the conclusion in the late book. Keep up the good work Ryan!

A travel trip through the Apoc.

It is hard to make a travel trip book interesting but this one keeps the motion going while progressing character arches and not overwhelming the story with action scenes.
Well Done indeed :)

wow

I found Ryan through Slater Corrigan and I can't get enough these apocalyptic books. honestly it's making me realize how unprepared I am. I am hooked on all these books now and the narrarator is awesome!!

Intense

I really love how these ex-law enforcement guys end up with only a few bullets and a 7 year old kid is the superior weapons creator. How cool is that!?

inspiring survival methods

loved this series. wish more books were like this. it has great survival preparation tactics. hope he comes out with more similar with more scinarios.

Post Apocalyptic Oregon Trail

The title says it all. Easy road ahead. Nope. Diseases from the dark ages, hunger, peril around every turn, small glimmers of hope, even mother nature wrecks havoic on our weary survivors. The performance keeps you engage, draws you just close enough to the disparity you can feel it. Thank goodness for the pause button. I needed it several times to catch my breath. By the end of their cross country trek, I want them ready to regroup and go to war. I won't spoil the story, but buckle up and watch your six.
