Publisher's Summary

No communication. Limited power. An unbreakable will to survive.

A violent blast of solar magnetic radiation plunges much of Earth into darkness. From the decaying orbit of the powerless ISS to a devolving Southeast Texas neighborhood and a secret doomsday bunker buried deep underneath the Colorado Rockies, The SpaceMan Chronicles tells the story of a stranded astronaut, his family and friends on the ground, and a shadowy conspiracy to rebuild the world in the shape of a new society.

It's written with the help of former astronauts, NASA team members, and well-respected astrophysicists that give the trilogy a unique sense of detail and desperation.

This bundle includes:

Spaceman: book one

Descent: book two

Retrograde: book three

Unique in its scope, excellent in its delivery!

I was able to purchase the boxed set of this series, which includes all three books of the trilogy; Spaceman, Descent, and Retrograde. I had listened to the first volume Spaceman over a year ago, enjoyed it, and reviewed it. Now I have the opportunity for the second and third volumes. Book two picks up as our intrepid astronaut Clayton Shepard manages an unguided reentry to get himself back on Terra firma. Not knowing exactly where he is Clayton makes an educated guess and heads for safety. Back at home everyone is dealing with the power loss and not knowing what has happened or how long it will last, which is probably worse. Deep Six Nikki and Rick are my favorites. Even though only a short amount of time has passed since the event the ne’er do wells begin to make themselves known. Meanwhile the government with select others make plans to tuck its tail and head for the mountain; Cheyenne Mountain that is. Or are they? Seems there is more to this selective evacuation than meets the eye. With the possibility of a second CME conspiracy theories abound as the government initiates the Descent Protocol. Illuminati in the house! This story gets better and better! Book three was a considerable slower pace than prior volumes. The second CME has come and gone with devastating results. This third book focused more on the conspiracy and conversely, Clayton’s efforts to get home. The Spaceman Chronicles trilogy is unique in its scope and excellent in its delivery of a possible future. I heartily recommend this series to any post-apocalyptic fan.

Love this Author-Narrator Team

Tom Abrahams and Kevin Pierce are a power duo. Once I start one of these books I can barely turn it off. The character development in A Dark World and the story telling is excellent. Loved Deep Six Nicki.

Can't wait to start a new book.

Another great creation from Tom Abraham's mind!

I have read/listened to most of Tom's books. This is another fine addition to his genre of choice. I recommend this top-shelf writing by one of my favorite authors. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

Unique characters and storyline

I originally thought this series was science fiction, so I didn’t look into it. When I heard the beginning chapters on one of Tom Abrahams’ Alt Apocalypse books, I was immediately hooked. I am so grateful that I was able to get all three books in the SpaceMan Chronicles for one credit! It’s like 22 hours of awesome entertainment. I love the characters! An astronaut, security specialist, scientist, mother... these are regular people who have to navigate the world when a Coronal Mass Ejection turns it upside down. There’s a lot of action, suspense and multiple sub-plots that come together to form an excellent series! Kevin Pierce gives a fantastic performance from the beginning of book one to the end of book three. I enjoyed listening to his narration. I highly recommend this set of all three books!

A True Standout

When reading the description I was kinda skeptical of the concept, but hey 23 hours worth a book for one credit can't be beat.

It's your ordinary SHTF genre situation with an extraordinary twist. Unlike most of the other books from this genre there were many situations where I really wondered to myself "wait, is this author really going to kill off a main character??".

Abrahams really does a good job of presenting realistic challenges for the well developed characters to face.

And as usual Kevin Pierce delivers a solid performance!

Brilliant!

Magnificently well written and imaginative. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A!

Scariest Environment Imaginable, Thanks

more more more I want more I really enjoy getting three books for one audible credit but this series really left me wanting more I seriously enjoyed every minute of it and now I want to read more of both this series and the author thank you very much it was a great listen. Oh and the audio performance was top notch as always.

Very disappointed

Good book and narrator is great. Bought as the boxed set and only got the first book
