Publisher's summary

When the world ended, Henry certainly had his hands full keeping his clan alive.

After all, it's no easy task bringing electricity back to the world, much less raising animals, expanding the farm, and everything in between. Still, given enough time, he could do it all.

There's just one problem. An insurgent group has sprung up, and they're determined to kill him and all the other men so they can steal away women for breeding purposes. And that is something Henry cannot abide.

Sounds like a plan……cool

If this is the end of the World, sign me up. The first book drew me in. I am a lover of zombies and this is a zombie series without the zombies. Same issues, same mistakes, same bad guys. My only complaint is the main character is too lucky, he knows everything he needs, meets all the right people and finds everything he needs. Every young beauty wants to be with him, and every man wants to follow him.

Interesting, engaging, fascinating and thought-provokingY yes

This is book 2 in the series, it really shows the integrity, endurance meant, and the willingness to stand against evil in a post apocalyptic world is as well

Very entertaining

I’ve enjoyed these characters. Easy to get attached to them and root for them. Good read.

great installment!

this was a great follow up on the first book. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Henry's family!

The CDC doctor, Estelle White, former Marine Angela Powers, and the survivalist Bruce Gassler had joined Henry and Jackie at the farm. Gassler had found five more survivors, which he brought to the farm to help with livestock and chores. The ten-year-old survivor Tommy Flint came as well as the baby Irene. Herny was busy setting up solar panels for power. A hybrid wolf that Jackie called a Coy Wolf was giving the survivors grief. They needed to be rid of the threat. Another threat was an evangelist named Ray Price, he was building a following of rebels near Birmingham. Henry had already had an encounter with one of his followers, nearly killing him. Ray Price, a radical if not psychotic Reverand, was a piece of work. No doubt he would make an appearance at some point. Henry’s little clan was increasing as he and Gassler found other survivors. There was much to do. Henry continued scavenging supplies and materials. Survivors with various abilities showed up here and there to add to the “family”. Ray Price was always in Henry’s thoughts. This is a very good apocalypse story. The narrator, Ryan West is quite good. I enjoyed it very much.

Could have been …

Much better if all of the time wasted on the sexual exploits and polygamy was removed. You also overused your new word of “opined”. Find a new one

good character development

it was an easy listen. I listened at bedtime and fell asleep. I enjoyed the storyline very much.

Love this series!

I received the first book in the series free, and loved it so much I've purchased the other two with my credits this month. Great narration and great story.

Great Next Book

Volume 2 was as good, maybe better, than volume 1. I’m already looking forward to volume 3.

I am loving this series.

The characters and how they interact and the story line is great. I will continue listening to this series.
