The Silence That Came After

De: David Cameron

Narrado por: Ryan Devlin

When the noise of the world fell away, Tom Bellamy was there to hear the silence first.

The end didn’t come with fire or war—it came with stillness. A quiet so absolute it swallowed the world whole. Tom, alone in the silence, wandered through the hollow remains of humanity, haunted by the absence of sound...and the weight of survival.

But the silence didn’t stay empty for long.

First came Barley—a scruffy, loyal dog who found Tom when he needed it most. Then Elise, another lost soul searching for meaning in the ruins. Together, they carved out a life from the remnants of the old world. And when their daughter Ava was born, she became a symbol of something once thought lost: hope.

Years on, as whispers of the past stir and strange new threats emerge, Tom, Ava, and those who remain must decide what kind of world they’re willing to fight for—and what must be left behind in the silence.

The Silence That Came After is a lyrical, powerful post-apocalyptic novel about the people who endure when everything else has faded—and the quiet strength it takes to begin again.

A little bit confused

When I thought some people had died, they didn't, only to die later on, I was confused about that, somethings just didn't make sense to me at first but I guess along the way it rounded itself out

Captivating and somewhat addictive

This story is good. Sometimes I was a little lost. At times that was due to the story having jumped forward in time, without it being stated in the story and you just had to figure it out. Other times it had to do with the voices the narrator was using, I felt that they could be a little inconsistent and I didn’t know exactly who was talking, even in the same chapter. I also noticed that in many chapters, the editing needed work. Lots of times, sentences were repeated, like the narrator did a retake, but the editor didn’t erase the “mistake” they wanted to redo.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and was wondering what would be coming next. I would definitely recommend the book if you like post-apocalyptic stories.
