Narrado por: Kyle Tait

In a single moment of time, ninety percent of the world’s population drops dead. Throats closing, they choke, and unable to breathe, they die within seconds. It is just the beginning.

Judd Bryant, a survivor who does not succumb to the horrendous death, is a talented man with a zest for living. He faces his darkest hour until he finds a purpose in the form of Dawson, an eight-year-old boy with an unusual gift.The unlikely pair set out to find others, only to realize that each passing day is increasingly more dangerous than the one before. Their road becomes an obstacle course filled with unimaginable disasters.

Before long, they and a few other survivors come to the realization that the instant death of billions of people isn’t the end, it is the start of a massive natural event. A phenomenon that will change the face of the earth and in the process, push the boundaries of ‘survival of the fittest’.The extinction of mankind is at hand and not how they imagine.

Great listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I enjoyed this book! I wasnt sure what to expect but this book a lot of good storylines and they were well thought out. I loved Judd and Dawson even though he had quote an advanced vocabulary for an 8 year old.

Best Apocalyptic Book in Years

There is no shortage of books where most of the population dies suddenly for some reason or other and only a few survive, and the reason for the death is far less important than the survivors and how their survival is handled. The first book I ever read of that nature was Stephen King's The Stand, a long time ago, and I have to say that as much as I love Stephen King, I like how this book handled the resolution of the survival better (though this book was not epic like The Stand, which is a good thing).

The survivors were a mixed bad - young, old, male, female, nice, not-so-nice -- and not everyone was into the idea of banding together for the greater good.

This book had a great take on the man against man, man against nature and man against himself set of conflicts which made for interesting reading and character growth. Narrator Kyle Tait did a great job with the voices and emotions which ranged from kids to seniors.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I would happily listen to another by both this author and narrator.

Great story

I came to really feel invested in the characters. The book flowed very fast so you felt like you had to hurry and read so as not to slow then down. I do wish the narrator had spoken the lyrics instead of singing, but the song was short and was not bad just not what I expected.

Decent post-apocalyptic story. Good Narrator

If post-apocalyptic stories are your favorite, you'll enjoy this one. The story doesn't do anything too original(although maybe surprising?) but it was good for what it was. The narrator did a great job of adding just enough emotion when it was needed without taking you outside of the characters. It's a short read and probably worth it but if you're looking for anything new, this probably isn't the best bet.

Excellent Narration

This is a brilliantly written tale; I was entirely absorbed. The storyline is well-paced, suspenseful, exciting, and engaging. This book has all the required ingredients to captivate the readers/listeners. The action is excellent, injected with great timing. Jacqueline Druga has composed a gripping post-apocalyptic world with compelling characters.

I was wholly impressed by Kyle Tait's narration, she injects the emotions and intensity found in the pages. Overall, this was a fantastic listen, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

I was engaged from the first moment I started listening! This was the second book I listened to from this author and I look forward to listening to more! I highly recommend this book!

Spellbinding!

Narrator did an excellent job. Knew his characters well!

Starts fast ends faster

This book was awesome, while not taking much time to give backstories in the beginning, the action starts and doesn't end.

Nice

It was a ok story to listen to. Had some exciting parts. Ended kinda funny.

Read like Stephen King’s “the stand”

Pretty good read from Miss Dugas as usual. I enjoyed the characters, but not too much character development where it becomes unnecessary. They were very relatable. And I found some of the personalities pretty funny. Judd ended up being my favorite, and I was glad we got to follow his story to the end. Plus, I’m glad it was explained pretty early on what caused everyone to drop dead.
