Minus America

Minus America Series, Book 1

By: E.E. Isherwood

Narrated by: Steve Marvel

What would the world be like without America?

The attack only takes a few minutes to sweep from coast to coast. When it ends, nearly everyone on mainland USA is gone.

Every policeman. Every housewife. Every trucker. Everyone. A continent free for the taking....

Ted MacInnis is a backup pilot on Air Force Two, over the Atlantic, when it happens. A warrior by nature, he can do little but listen as the radio signals from his homeland fade away and die.

However, one last call with his niece convinces him the attack left some behind. She might have survived, and he makes it his mission to find out. Unfortunately, his first priority is protecting his VIP passenger: Vice President Emily Williams. The woman who might already be the leader of America's survivors.

For some, the counterattack will be violently executed with firepower. For others, surviving in empty cities without adult supervision will be challenging enough. Ted, and warriors like him, will soon be part of the most desperate fight America has ever seen. This is DAY ONE.

Hooked Me Right Away...

I wasn't expecting much from this book thanks to the lower review average. In fact if it hadn't been included in Audible Plus catalog I never would have listened to it in the first place. But I'm glad it is, and I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed it.

Instead of zombies or a bioengineered plague, an entire nation worth of people is simply vanished in a matter of minutes, leaving behind the clothes they were wearing and whatever they had in their hands at the time. There are a few people that were missed, however, and now they must figure out what happened, what - or who - caused it to happen, and how can they fight back. Overall, a fun and unique twist to the genre, one that was well written and easy to get in to.

Looking forward to book #2

Terrific plot. Cheesy writing. The voice actor isn’t my favorite, but I’m excited to listen to the next one.

Unique and entertaining

Great reading unusual story. Hard to imagine people just disappearing leaving only their clothes behind. Seems like if something can make human life just disappear that there wouldn’t be any animals or any organic life left. If it didn’t take animals where are all the left behind pets and stray soda and cats. Should be more than one pet (dog) left abandoned. Maybe explanation will come later in the series. All in all were entertaining.

interesting concept

The writing was a bit juvenile and took soooo long to come to conclusions that were so easily figured out. Narration was painful to get through so monotone with no character development in the voices would not listen to another book by this narrator

Very enjoyable

Love this story. Can’t wait to read more. Each character is unique and relatable in their own way. I’m very intrigued by the bad guy aspect of this story and am excited to see where the author goes with it next.
