Earth is doomed, how will you survive this time?

Countless tales tell of the enduring human spirit. Especially when faced with the prospect of individual death or mass extinction, we have prevailed time and again. But are past stories indicative of future behavior? As imminent total destruction of the planet is announced to occur in short order, a group of determined souls stampede into a government bunker intent on surviving, at any cost. The Bunker is a short story, with many unexpected reveals and outcomes to keep it interesting and engaging. Don't expect much descriptive detail, but no worries as your mind will be racing to figure out where the next twist is coming from. Narrated consistently by Daniel Hord, the handful of main characters have distinct flavor and cadence. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 1.85x.]

Good Idea. Uneven Execution.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I really appreciate the offer to listen to this book. I really liked the concept. Survivors of a disaster must figure out their new reality.

The narration is solid.

The biggest issue I had with the writing was the exposition. It reminded me of early fiction writing attempts where every character is named and described. It didn’t help that the names are all generic and homogeneous. And forgettable. I like a little more character development and I like writing that “shows” more than “tells.”

There are some very interesting twists and turns, I really think this story has potential. But all the characters are a bit too agreeable as pointed out by another reviewer. It would be nice if people supported each other like this in real life.

Again, I appreciate the author granting me access to this book. I would try another book by this author.

Suspenseful and interesting

Very well done and has a nice twist to the story in the end and it was well worth listening to and had Some interesting insight and characters

A Different Kind of Survival Story

Catastrophic event? Check. The fight to survive in the aftermath? Also check. The Bunker pulls you right into its tense setup from the start. What makes it stand out are the unexpected twists and reveals that keep things moving, without relying on the usual politics or in-fighting you often see in bunker survival stories. Different, fast-paced, and absolutely worth a listen.

A good story

first of all the narration is great.
the story has a top notch premise with a decent writing style. I enjoyed the story esspecially with the twist.

Story with promise

This story was interesting. The plot and story has promise, but felt very vague and rushed in many aspects. The execution was just alright. Not enough detail or imagery. The characters seemed basic with no real personality. That being said, I loved the idea of the story. And with more time and expansion I could see this being a very good read. The author is definitely on the right track!
